The URL has the "ca_en" bit in it, so perhaps it's CAD, but I cannot be sure. Some reward travel has $1.00 in taxes and fees, but I'm eyeing a marginally worth it business class flight, where the CAD/USD difference would add almost $100 for all pax.
If someone is inclined to search for it, it's LHR to MAD on Iberia (the 18:xx flight on an A350), May 18, I'd be curious to see what the GBP amount is. I can't transfer Avios to Iberia (slightly better overall cost I think), I don't believe with the 3 months membership requirement and all.
My account is denominated in Euros. That flight is offered in business at 12,750 Avios plus EUR 67.24. If you fly BA instead of IB you can book an RFS for 13,500 Avios plus EUR 30.00. (or 20,000 Avios plus EUR 0.50 if you're stupid enough)
