We're banking ours with BA.
Well we are going to be 3 people and already got a BA family account with 88K Avios parked in it. I don't think I want to accumulate anymore BA Avios.

With Alaska I will accumulate DXB-LHR-LAX => 8876 miles plus 200% bonus => 26628

With AA I will accumulate => 8876 + 8876 (Plat Bonus) + 4438 (50% Class bonus) => 22190

Is my math correct?
