In all honesty, unless I am missing something, the 2 for 1 does not make sense even for West Coast to India. I can pay $2K, use up 160K BA miles and go. Or I can pay $3500, buy US airways miles and go West Coast to India on star alliance carriers while I save 160K BA miles for two round trip J tickets to South America, for example, on LAN with minimal taxes. I think I am going to let the 2 for 1 expire.
Not to India.

However it may make sense to Europe or Middle East, or even Africa though the last 2 would cost astonishingly high fees - but then even coach tickets would cost a bundle so essentially you are paying coach ticket prices to travel in J - that is the only justification the way I see it.
