Hi everyone,

I've redeemed points for a few flights in the past (a couple of long haul flights and a bunch of European ones) and realised that using 60,000 + for a long haul economy fare + £350 airport surcharge is a massive waste. I'm sat on around 200,000 (80,000 of which came in today after I complained about my broken IFE screen on my Club JFK - LGW flight last week) with a few more long haul business class flights coming up this year, just wondering if anyone has recommendations on the best way to use around 200,000 avios, in business, without paying exorbitant surcharges? I'm BAEC silver and happy to fly to a European city to avoid surcharges. The Far East is my favourite part of the world.

Thanks in advance for your help!
