So additional segments on BA don't cost extra so long as you don't change planes? That part isn't obvious when it's described as paying points "per segment".
Cool, I didn't know Avios wasn't just a BA thing. Bloggers talking about Avios transfers only mention BA and their apparently frequent 30-40% transfer bonuses. Does Iberia Plus get transfer bonuses too?
