AS long haul redemptions with avios
Pricing a redemption seat in Business on the recently launched Alaska Airlines 101 LHR - SEA.
E class open on EF (which is equal to partner business award availability).
95k AS points + $200 on AS website, 57.5k AA miles + , or… 85k avios + $1467.63 (!!!!) as the low-cash Avios options ?
Seems like BA is pricing it is a First class ticket with the requisite avios rates despite it being marketed as a Business class product by AS.
Any advice on the possibility of convincing BA that it is a Business class product? And how to work with the fees?
