Yes, we did have this conversation before, but I don't think anything has changed since. At least I didn't find an easy way to book those tickets with avios. TOF is still not popping up as a valid airport in BA or Iberia websites. OVB does and OVB-DME is bookable with avios. I tried booking TOF-DME via Avios.com over the phone, but no luck. I didn't investigate on Russian forums, as you suggested, but will do.
Hi, thanks a lot for the wishes and Happy New Year to you too!
The issue is that the BAEC website is very slow in reflecting new routes..... especially when S7 is expanding their route network like crazy these days. Experience of the folks from forum.awd suggests that these are indeed bookable by calling the BAEC call centre ... and if it does not work, you may want to HUACA.
Personally, I never had a problem redeeming RJ miles on any routes (including TOF), so the problem does not come from S7.
