Q: How often do you fly with BA in First?
For reference:
A standard return fare LHR-MIA in F is just a shade over £7k (i.e. $11k)
A redemption booking is 150,000 Avios plus about £610 (i.e. $950) in charges.
Are you seriously suggesting that $950 plus a bundle of Avios is a bad deal for something that might otherwise cost you $11,000?
