Our Take

The play with British Airways miles is to use them for short distance flights on American Airlines and other OneWorld carriers. British Airways uses a distance-based award chart, meaning you can find some flights for as little as 7,500 miles each way.

A recent example of my own; I was able to book a business class ticket from Capetown to Johannesburg (cash price ~$800) for just 12,750 Avios and ~$100 in taxes and fees.
