Hope this is not a stupid question! Thanks.
If you are planning a trip to the U.S. and wanted to see more than one city on the trip, Avios can provide good value when redeeming for nonstop, domestic travel on American Airlines or Alaska Airlines. For example, a roundtrip between the West Coast and one of the Hawaiian islands in Economy Class would cost just 26,000 Avios plus $11.20 USD -- but
only when award seats are made available to BAEC.
Otherwise, you should be able to get decent value without spending money on a long-haul ticket by using your Avios for "Reward Flight Saver" redemptions from LON to continental Europe (or maybe to the Spanish or Portuguese islands).
