Why would you want to unwind this trade?! On my quick look, just about the only route in whole network that will cost MORE under Avios seems to be Mauritius. You will see big reductions, either to miles or taxes, to everywhere in Europe, most of Asia and East Coast USA! Unless you have a holiday home in Mauritius I cannot possibly see what your problem is

Anyway, back to the main point of the thread ...!
