What would be a good weekend travel option, coming from Philadelphia? I would most likely rent a car and drive up, unless I can find a cheap flight.
Thank you,

If low-tier award-seat availability exists, a roundtrip on US from PHL to YYZ, YOW, YUL, YQB, or ART (Watertown, NY, close to the Thousand Islands region) can be had for only 9,000 BA Avios and minimal fees. The roundtrip from PHL to YHZ would cost 15,000 Avios.
Several different Chase and Amex credit cards earn points that can be converted to BA Avios. Avios can also be earned by crediting paid flights on AA, US, and any other oneworld carrier to a BAEC account.
