7,500 Avios is not a big issue. But just as an aside since this is the completely wrong forum for this, if I actually make it on the JFK flight, what's the cancellation policy for BA Avios anyway? Anytime before flight departure? That way I might just get back my 7,500 for the LGA flight. If it's like Delta which is 48 hours before, then I'll just forget the 7.5k.
