Once you factor in that the avios booking would be flexible, you’re getting even more value.

I’m trying to book a reward flight for my wife LGW-AGP-LGW. There’s no flexibility on timings as it’s a weekend away with friends - there’s a reward seat on outbound but not return. Is there anyway of doing a reward out cash back on a single booking ? If not does anyone know how to you change the currency to sterling from euros on The BA App , on a single journey originating in Europe ? Thanks.

You can't combine a redemption and a revenue booking on a single ticket.
You could just do the redemption outbound and a revenue one way back. I can't see anything really going wrong doing it this way. As for how to change the currency on the App I'm not sure. However, you could just call BA and make the separate return booking over the phone?

I'm afraid there is also no way of getting a price in sterling online for a flight originating overseas... unless you were willing of flying out of GIB instead.
You might be able to get a price in sterling by booking over the phone, but that would be subject to a service fee.
What is it important to pay in sterling?

You cannot mix reward and revenue flights in the same booking.

I ueed to fly to Toronto every summer regularly to see relatives and Canada is very popular at that time of year, so with 3 months to go I'm not surprised especially if it's premium cabins your looking for.

Maybe there's just none available at the moment? Worth rechecking regularly or set up an alert on Expertflyer or seatspy if you subscribe.

Thanks. Just 2 days ago they were available and then became invisble and now again they have showed up. Weird.

with a BAPP, 3 avios per £1 would’ve made up for the foreign currency fees.
