Avios is BA, not AA. And Avios was devalued last year, not this month.
I already flew CX F LAX-HGK once "by accident" (an op-up after a mechanical delay of 24 hours), I don't feel the need to "waste" miles (even at the pre-deval level) by booking that cabin again. It was nice, yes, but not
that much nicer than CX J (which is already very nice) that I'd feel the need to use up my miles more quickly by going for CX F instead of stretching my miles by "settling for" CX J.
