For all that the fees are entirely under BA's control, I will say I do still find WTP->CW UuA on the East Coast USA & Canada routes as something of a sweet spot in terms of Avios value, especially on peak dates.
Indeed. I am currently looking at some Florida destinations which have very cheap WT+ fares meaning that the cash difference between them and CW fares is many times more than the £100 each way cost to UuA and make much more sense even than using one of the three 241 vouchers I have awaiting triggering. Of course I have to spend the avios but I still reckon it is a good deal.
