What is/was your best Avios Redemption
I didn't see a thread like this but I am curious what others have done to get the most value out of Avios. I understand that "value" can be subjective so I will split it in two:
1. Best value in terms of CPM redemption value
2. Best value in terms of "I would not have booked this without points" (that is for the experience or destination). Essentially booked because of desire not to save money.
So with that said I will go first.
I recently got 9.87 CPM value out of Avios. I booked an economy seat on AA from MIA to ATL. It cost me 4,500 Avios and $2.50. The lowest fare was $447 USD.
My best value in terms of destination was a trip to Easter Island using pre-Avois BA miles. 105,000 + ~$400 for 2 to go down in Business from ATL and back in Economy. Great Trip!
Anyone else?
