Does BA allow one way awards?
Could i do the following:
Use 67.5K AA miles....ORD to BKK on Cathay Pacific 1st class (after Sept 1st) f
Use 75K BA miles on Cathay Pacific 1st class.....SGN to HKG..stop over for several days..... HKG to ORD
Would buy a ticket from BKK to SGN
Will this work?
Thanks
Yes. BA offers One-Way award. In fact it is advisable to book One-Way award on BA because its very restrictive date change rule. See the post just 2 posts above yours.
Your routing would work, just keep in mind intra-Asia may not have F cabin or even if you book F on a 3-class flight, CX often swap aircrafts in its regional flights and you may wound up still in business. Short flights so it really does not matter whether sitting in F or J.
