Hi All
I fear I know the answer but I thought I'd ask anyway!
My parents are travelling HKG-LHR-EDI in June in BA Y. They are looking to upgrade to PE but can't justify the price difference.
Is there any way to transfer points into an Avios account from other airline programs to use for a points upgrade? I currently have points with QF, AA and US that I could use. I recall there may be ways to transfer points between airlines via a different (e.g. hotel) membership scheme but I'm not aware of any that can transfer to Avios.
They also need to book a return airfare EDI-HKG (late August) and HKG-EDI (June next year). What complicates matters is that my dad gets a Y return airfare reimbursed by his employer so we can't simply book a award flight - it would need to be a points upgrade. I think AA might codeshare with CX on LHR-HKG but I don't think it's possible to use AA points to upgrade on a CX-operated flight?
Any other options that you can think of?
Thanks for your time!
