Converting Miles

Hi,

I am new to this forum. Apologies if this has been discussed before, I couldnt find anything...
I have a stash of RBC Platinum Avion points and wanted to convert them to Asia Miles. I had 2 questions

1) Is there a charge for this?
2) Are the amazing reward redemption levels accurate? Are there any catches?

I am specifically looking at

Ticket/Upgrade: Round-trip Ticket
Class: Business


From
To
Airline
Toronto London / Heathrow British Airways
London / Heathrow Toronto British Airways


Asia Miles Required 60,000

This is AMAZING! Considering a YYZ-LHR eco ticket on Air Canada is 65,000. I am assuming the conversion rate from avion points is not 1:1?

Any other tips you have on reward availabilty etc etc will be appreciated as I have never dealt with CX before

Thanks

Sadiq
