Does anyone have any suggestions for a detailed online search? I know I can call BA but I find them very user unfriendly on the phone ... and there is usually a long hold time. Thanks.
Sign up for the Qantas FFP, also CX Asiamiles, and you can see redemption possibilities for their own members. In most cases you ought to be able to use BA miles if the trips are available to QF/CX fliers. You'll have to phone BA at some point anyway.
