Yes they are. 35k non-stop with not so great flight times, 50k for good times.

25K BA avios and 24K SQ points and 35K AS ff miles all have different award values as the what flights they can get. They are not 1:1
At the $600 on AS you can credit to any AS or any AS ff partner: AS BA, SQ, so earn some ff currency back.
To most burning X thousand ff miles/avios/points would not be good value for a $600 flights.
What ffp's are you a signed up member of?
Maybe I am looking at it wrong. I am comparing 1.5x using Chase versus transferring points to a partner. So, 24k points is worth $360 when comparing buying on Chase's portal. That's a lot better than $600.
Do you mean I should save miles for more expensive flights?
I have accounts setup with: ANA, AS, SQ, BA, and UA. I only have organic miles with AS. I have some UR saved up and holding on to MR for trip to Australia later in the year.
