So AA would be better in regards of getting miles out of AY flights but BA is ok, especially considering the Household account and the almost never-expiring points? Maybe we'll stick with BA for now then. Heathrow is hellish, but London is our favourite city. Don't mind travelling via London every once in a while.
If you are primarily interested in using your miles to travel between HEL and the U.K. on BA metal, then Avios are your best deal, utilizing Reward Flight Savers. Also, note that for the cost of a HEL-LHR redemption, you can tack on an intra-U.K. flight (to Manchester, Belfast, etc.),
even after a stopover in London.
