Does anyone here know how to calculate the cost of awards without calling.

I called the UK BAEC to calculate an award from YVR to SFO and am convinced the pricing I was given was wrong.

I would need to connect as follows YVR-SEA-SFO... I was told this would be priced YVR-SEA @ 30k and then ANOTHER 35k for the SEA-SFO.

I'm pretty sure the agent used the one world chart (multiple carriers) to calculate but am not convinced this is the correct chart or the adding together of sectors in this way is correct either.
Assuming that standard Avios pricing applies to redemptions on AS, YVR-SEA should cost 4,500 Avios one way in Coach, and SEA-SFO should cost 7,500 Avios one way in Coach.

Of course, Amtrak is an option for either or both segments.
