There are additional price points now on short haul, one of which is a much higher level of avios with only £1/50p cash component. If you click through to the quote page you will see a number of price points, one of which will more or less match up with the old band pricing.
8500 Avios + £ 0.50
6750 Avios + £ 10.50
5000 Avios + £ 15.50
4000 Avios + £ 20.50
2950 Avios + £ 35.50
2200 Avios + £ 45.50
6750 Avios + £ 10.50
5000 Avios + £ 15.50
4000 Avios + £ 20.50
2950 Avios + £ 35.50
2200 Avios + £ 45.50

OK - who wants to pay 8,500 Avios when one can pay 4,000 Avios + GBP 20.50 ? Bad deal IMO.
I got caught up in these new Avios pricing of BA short haul flights during the recent 50% off Avios sale, where I ended up with the CPH-LHR return tag-on for 12,750 Avios + tax (off-peak, 25% discount) where I was expecting 6,000 Avios + tax
It is a huge devaluation that BA has added a fare/tax component in order to keep the original Avios pricing for BA short haul flights

Indeed, that was the issue - and left me with a sour taste in my mouth after completing the CPH-LHR-MEX Avios ticket.

Was meant to be flying SunAir to Billund next week, but it got cancelled :-(. Did a tour of the Billund base a year ago - great times:
However, I've booked a trip for April :-). Two of the party are flying back to LHR, and it cost £18.70 each!
Here's a trip report of happier times and a trip to Legoland.....
London to Billund - with Lego "Inside Tour" in the middle.

Certainly no reason to use Avios
