I am planning a family trip for Christmas 2024. Looking for award space for two in business/first. There is availability for dates wanted (Dec. 23 to Jan ). Problem can’t find any reasonable award price…most are pricing between 457K and 600K. However, I can find award space on BA for oneway awards pricing at 57K—which good. Based on this, we are thinking of booking a oneway and then purchasing a oneway cash return separately. Question is can I do this? Get an award ticket and then purchasing a cash ticket for the return? This would be two separate bookings obviously. I am AA EP if that helps.
Being EP you have SWU, purchase Premium Econ tickets, and apply SWU for your flights, but being EP you knew that. |
If you go for the one way on BA, I would recommend trying to use BA for the flight to the US rather than from.
Ex-UK the surcharge is £450.00 ( ~ $568 ) whilst ex US the surcharge is $970 |

BA is great to find cheap awards but you will have to pay lost in taxes.

Consider:
1. BA charges exorbitant fees in AAwards. 2. One-way fares usually 60-90% the cost of return. |
