Agree with bigmerv
Let's be honest ... thousands of people want to go to FLORIDA.
Why? Dunno, that's their choice, despite the weather this week!

However, people thinking that BAEC will find me a seat to there, then, NOW, CHEAP isn't really going to be a winner. The same applies to those appealing destinations in the Far East.

Solution? Try going somewhere near, and then either driving or flying to where you actually want to be [especially in the USA]. Does BAEC honestly have to give you a doorstep delivery, on their intense routes, as a Reward Flight?

The last time my Bro-in-law and his OH joined us in VA, they flew into Atlanta and then they hopped an internal up to DC. They wanted cheap, they put in the effort to get it. Is it that difficult to think outside the 'point to point' box?
