I’m a newbie at all this still (have been slowly collecting Avios the last few years, but only just booked my first RFS a couple of months ago for a trip next year) but how do other major airlines operate in this regard? It seemed from my quick Google that e.g. Emirates are similar to BA so you can do what they call “Classic Rewards” i.e. RFS, or Cash + Miles i.e. Cash with Avios, and similar with Etihad “Guest Seats” and “Open Seats”.
Just wondering if BA does go to dynamic pricing whether the Amex MR points my OH is now building up might be better off diverted to Emirates or Etihad for a potential SEA trip in 2026 instead of Avios…
