Booked using the avios today. I was originally thinking of just using them for short haul flights in Europe. Decided not to be boring though and instead use them for a long haul trip to somewhere I haven't been before. Some interesting options in Central and South America. Buenos Aires or Santiago looked good, at 102,000 avios for a return in J I would have happily transferred the additional avios across from my BAEC account but combine my avios is obviously not working at the moment. Plan B would have been to transfer 12k amex point in but in the end I went for one of the 85k routes.
So I booked Havana for next May for 85,000 avios and Ł148. I guess I should include the cost of the 10 tickets too so that would be another Ł210. Quite pleased with this.

MAD-MVD//EZE-MAD-EDI booked today in J (long haul) and Y (short haul). As KARFA says, combine Avios isn't working but a quick call to BAEC and they transferred the Avios over to IB+ in just a few seconds.

Been covered earlier - not sure where. You must BOOK by 1 DEC. Can fly anytime up to the end of schedule. If you make any changes after 1 DEC you forfeit your Avios.

Kept it simple - only went for 18k Avios in this promotion, used towards a domestic roundtrip to New Orleans on AA.
Given Iberia's website is so crappy - it couldn't handle changing the PIN and using a new PIN on the same day - I was worried they would botch their own promotion.
~$60 + 20 Euro tax for a $350 ticket is my kind of deal.

Not unless you have about 3 times as many points. Qantas almost never releases International premium cabins to partners and I can't even see Qantas domestic Business seats on IB+ , but thats nothing when they don't even show BA domestic business seats, and supposedly they are part of the same company? You've gotta laugh.
I've decided to blow my IB+ worthless Avios on BA First DOH-LHR, after travelling PER-DOH in Qatar First on Qantas points.
