I recently had the chance to experience British Airways First Class and shared my “First Impressions” on the product. This was my first chance to fly in their new First Class seats. I chose 2A and settled into a long day time flight. As a result of the day time flight, I never used the swag they provide to their First Class passengers including an amenity kit, a blanket, and a set of First Class pajamas. So I’m giving our readers a chance to win all three.
How To Enter
I’ve taken flights on British Airways and on other airlines using British Airways Avios points. But never both at the same time. This is because British Airways has relatively high fuel surcharges on their flights. So I chose to redeem my Avios points elsewhere like with the 4,500 point one-way awards on partner airlines. So I’d like to hear from you. In order to enter this giveaway for a chance to win, simply answer the following question in the comment section:
- Where do / would you redeem your Avios points for the best value and why?
Prize Details
One lucky winner will be selected at random to receive the following:
- 1 British Airways Large First Class Pajamas set
- 1 British Airways First Class blanket
- 1 British Airways First Class amenity kit
Giveaway Rules
- One entry per person
- Winner must have ship-to address in the US or Canada
- Winner will be selected on Thursday, August 22, 2013 at 5 PM ET from eligible entries
Bottom Line
If you like swag and your First Class pajamas don’t go to waste, enter through this post for your chance to win a set of British Airways pajamas, a First Class blanket and a First Class amenity kit.

Short-haul flights.
i redeem them for short jaunts from HKG
I’d fly from any of the west coast to Hawaii for 12.5k avios each way.
I would like to use it JFK to yvr
I love Vancouver and heard this is one of the sweet routes where you don’t pay much in taxes and fees using avios
I would use them to go to Wales and visit the childhood home of my grandpa!!! Upgrade to first for sure!!!
I’m hoarding them for now to see what happens with the US/AA merger… Might be able to use them for an award and then my US miles for a different award to make one awesome trip….
I use them to transfer to Flying Blue to get one-ways on Delta from Florida to Atlanta for close family friends whose son is battling throat cancer. BEST value for us!!!
^ oops – that’s Amex points – ok I feel stupid today. nm! lol. I haveb’t used Avios yet
I haven’t had a chance to use mine yet…planning something big
I’d do a US-Canada or west coast-Hawaii flight on AS.
I’ve been saving mine up for a big trip but not sure where I want to go. Maybe Hawaii on American or Spain on Iberia or something like that. If not I’ll use them for staging from STL to MIA for cruise ship trips.
Anywhere to avoid high surcharges is my plan I guess.
In the past I’ve used them on short hops like MCI to ORD, but now that I live in DOH I’m planning to use them on Qatar Airways once they join OneWorld. Just hoping the taxes/fees aren’t horrible.
Flights between WAS and ORD. Typically high fares, but only 4500 Avios each way in Y.
Best redemption is on Aer Lingus Biz from Boston to Dublin. Can’t wait to lounge around in those jammies! 🙂
A short-haul domestic flight … like ORD-LGA
LAX-HNL for 25K round trip – one of the best values you can find!
I redeem mine on short PNW lights on Alaska
Short domestic hops on AA. They’re usually quite expensive from my surrounding airports.
I redeem them for LGA/YUL best bang for your bucks, have a lot of friends in yul, and bus takes 12h… plane cost $400+ so avios is my go to !!!
Flying from the middle of the Midwest, the best use of mines is flights from here to California to visit family.
Short hop domestic flights — usually a great value compared to high ticket costs…
I’m planning to use for J class to LHR or HKG
I use Avios for the free companion ticket, first class to LHR or Europe after 30k credit card spend
Indianapolis Chicago , and also for the free companion ticket for 1st class after the 30$k spend on the credit card
short haul flights with the USA.
I like the PJ! It’s awesome. I redeemed for a flight from the states to Scotland.
Partner flights within Europe.
I would redeem them from LON to HAM because flights can be very expensive, but it’s a good value using Avios.
I would use them to fly to South America from the US!
I would redeem Avios points from SMF-LAX for 4500 Avios each way + $5 tax, and also in US domestic AA flights. Thanks.
JFK -STT –round trip first class for only 40,000 Avois points
I just booked ORD-YUL for 15000 RT. + $50. Not a shockingly good redemption, but solid, and let us pick the best times instead of taking the cheap flights with less convenient departure times.
CVG to JFK on an AA commuter. Best of reasons — 2 Delta commuter tix @ 50k. 2 AA commuter tix from BA @ 18k.
You can’t beat the value of 4,500 each way between NYC and Toronto or Montreal. I often get about 10 cents per point as I generally book last minute. In fact, I might head to Toronto this coming weekend…
I use them for short hops under 650miles, like DCA-ORD
For the great deal of BOS-DUB-BOS on Aer Lingus!
I would use them to fly BA New First SFO-LHR with the Travel Together award using the Chase BA Visa Card.
DTW – NYC. 9000 Avios roundtrip when the ticket routinely costs upwards of $300. It’s a steal!
I would love to use it between BOS-DUB, as I would love to visit the Emerald Isle 🙂
HNL-LAX-HNL
I’ll be using my Avios on a flight from JFK to Lima to Cuzco, to see Macchu Pichu next June.
Haven’t used mine yet but will for Cathay Pacific from JFK-YVR-JFK and for friends on short AA trips to visit me.
redemptions from US to South America on AA without a doubt!
Short haul AA flights are the best value, IMO…
SFO-LHR First class with the companion pass. Even with the taxes/fees, this still gives me the opportunity to experience a once in lifetime experience, which would not be in my budget if I had to use cash instead of avois.
Short domestic flights.
Use it for jnb to Vfa!
I use my BA Avios for flights within Europe where I can get max value out of them. I use cash to get to the nearest European country and then hop around using Avios.
Go to Hawaii!
I use mine for SPI-DFW direct flights. 9k a pop for a return is a great deal!
