On top of that there are opups, MFUs and GUF2s to spend, so if you do a lot of flying with BA and OW - which many people on this board do - F is a pretty regular experience which has not cost them ten thousand dollars, six thousand pounds or anywhere near it.

Avios and 2-4-1s surely remain the cheapest means of access though.
