This is a great deal because these transfer bonuses have been pretty rare. Personally, I like using Avios for short hauls and long hauls if I don\u2019t want to use my AAdvantage miles. I value my Avios balance just as highly as my AAdvantage balance because as a top tier Executive Platinum member on American Airlines, I can use my elite benefits interchangeably with both programs. Earlier this year, I wrote a post on <a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/2013\/01\/08\/how-to-book-and-add-your-aadvantage-to-a-british-airways-avios-award-ticket\/\">How To Book and Add Your AAdvantage # to a British Airways Avios Award Ticket<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/04\/avios3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2042\" alt=\"avios3\" src=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/files\/2013\/04\/avios3.jpg\" width=\"801\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/04\/avios3.jpg 801w, http:\/\/first2board.com\/pointssummary\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/\/sites\/12\/2013\/04\/avios3-300x99.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 801px) 100vw, 801px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most recently, I helped find a friend a flight that departed on 4\/23\/2013 (today) from LAX-SAN and returning 4\/25\/2013 for a total of 9,000 Avios and $5 taxes.
