? I'm torn between Avios and AA... I'll be using it mostly for flights from YVR-ZRH so I can fly AA all the way by connecting through JFK (or CX for the awesome YVR-JFK plane)

(I live in YVR, my family in ZRH and I do the roundtrip once a year)

BA has worse award pricing than AA but better conversion value... Has anyone done the math on this or can tell me about some other factor I'm forgetting?
BA has fuel surcharges. AA has more carriers without fuel surcharges.
