That's it, thanks!
New to the household thing. Just assumed it would take the avios from my account and only take from the other account if I had a shortage myself.

Just realised, my 1000th post is a thank you.. nice.

Mixed classes
I'm trying to book an award with CX, first leg is in F second one in C. Online this is not possible. I find however the availability under ba.com and had contact with the call center, however unfortunately they do not see the same availability for the connecting flight as I do. Online 5 seats are actually available.
Second leg is operated by KA, is that maybe an issue?
I gave them the KA flight # as well.

Also you can only book avios rewards under the operating flight number. Mixing CX and KA should be fine but I think you will be charged on a mixed partner basis which may be quite expensive in terms of avios.

I have just noticed in the chart that UUA WTP to CW in peak times is lower than off peak for flights >3000mi. True? If so, how come? Because shorter flights are more popular than longhaul flights in peak times?

For example, LHR-JFK UuA for CW->F is 24k off-peak and 20k peak.

BA EC advised me Alaska Airlines partner economy award space books into W and not the T class shown.

Hi everyone,
As of now my IB Avios account is slightly over 3 months old, I did create one as I heard it might be better to transfer avios over from BA to IB for certain routes. Can anyone give me a brief overview of instances where it is good value to book rewards using avios on IB?
Cheers!
