1. Why short-haul only? What about transcontinental LAX-NYC using BA Avios? What about LAX to Caribbean and LAX to Tahiti using BA?

2. What is the best redemption value for US Airways miles?

Thanks,

1. The program is distance based so shorter is better. Transcon NYC-LAX is not an added value... it will cost 25K miles RT in coach.
