I tried to work with Avios, but its a bit weird. Will give it another shot.

BAEC would cost 100K more UR points (converted to Avios) for the two adults and one infant, plus at least a couple of hundred dollars in taxes and surcharges. 100K UR points are worth a lot more than what you'd be saving in cash by redeeming Avios for this trip.
