Can book a flight for 16,500 Avios or 22,000 AAdvantage. Assuming they’re relatively close in value, the answer is obvious. New to Avios so wanted to ask. Thank you.
What route and class of service?
Note that there is no fee to cancel an AAdvantage award booking for a full refund. BA charges a fee to cancel, although it could be as little as $5.60 for a domestic, one-way nonstop on AA.
Note, also, that BA charges for each flight flown, whereas connections are included with AAdvantage awards.
For domestic (U.S.) travel in Coach, one can sometimes find exceptional value with AAdvantage miles that Avios cannot touch.
