2:1 sounds like a reasonable average.It appears that an American Airlines mile is worth quite a bit more than a Qantas frequent flyer point.
Based on the latest redemptions how much more is this value. It seems to be at least 50% more valuable.
That's why I said average. Even if you take them into consideration then it can be more or less than 2:1 from my experience. Very route dependant.are we factoring taxes in yet?
The syd lhr syd return copay in F would be over $500 with au and uk departure taxes. Quite a lot more than the $5 quoted
Good to know....only ever read about AA charging co-pays in the cents rather than $.
Makes buying AA points even less compelling for the SYD-LHR-SYD example.

Of course, if booked with Qantas points it's over $1500 as there is the AUD1080 of Qantas YQ to be included!The syd lhr syd return copay in F would be over $500 with au and uk departure taxes. Quite a lot more than the $5 quoted

I did a MEL-LHR return in First on AAdvantage. I won't mention the +++ differential, but will note the same trip booked using QFF will cost 384,000 points. (FWIW, economy is 50,000 miles on AA or 128,000 QFF points)
