All honesty SWA is probably the best bang for the buck on domestic flights.. Ya it sucks no assigned seating but usually the staff is very nice and have some humor..  I don't like the fact people take advantage of the system on pre-boarding, other then they are good.  Yes you do get what you pay for w/regards to air-fare.. If you want a good priced domestic tickets with no lay overs for most parts of the US fly Southwest... If you want to spend more or have miles to burn on other airlines, I would fly Delta or United.. Haven't flown Virgin America, so can't comment on that, but AA I would avoid as well


BA Avios is better bang for buck domestically......IF you can find available seats!


I have to figure out this whole Avios thing.  Do you look up flights on BA and us one of their partner airlines?


On BA, It then turns the pts over to Partner.


Thanks.  May have to look into transferring my points to them then.

If its not cross country that is true and if you obviously take advantage of the 40% mr transfer bonus.

BA or quantas are good places to start looking for partner availability, sometimes not everything shows up on BA site.

What about to the Caribbean.  Is it worthwhile for that?

I think it is especially since its only 15k to bermuda, other parts of carribbean i think are between 20-25k depending on how far it is obviously. I would have to run the numbers how much flight would cost with cash to deem the value.

I just transferred about 27000 MR points to BA for the 40% bonus a week or so ago since roundtrip from miami to NY is like 12.5k points - Only first class available for the times I'm going to i used my airline gift cards and bought tickets. 

 

Not gonna waste points on first class for a 3 hour flight.
