I notice that when I go to the BA website and look for reward flights, the cost of the flight in terms of Avios seems to be transparent. The website shows the required amount of Avios plus the taxes. When searching for airfares online, the price already includes the taxes. The breakdown usually isn't shown until I get to the checkout page. Any idea on how to best speed this up especially when I'm searching multiple flights simultaneously?
Any other comments on Avios redemption in Asia or Europe?
