Given this, does it make sense to transfer for Avios now while the bonus is in effect?
Before you transfer I would do some research first. If you have a BAEC account already I would do some dummy bookings first to see whether there is reward availability around the dates and on the route you are interested in, and also what the taxes/fees/charges are likely to be.
