    I was going to book a flight to HND with Reward Flight Saver as I am avios poor.

    Last week the quote was 52000 Avios + £ 620.00
    Today the same flight costs 52000 Avios + £ 860.00

    Is the cash part dynamic? Thanks

    Could you elaborate more? What class is it and which date?

    That’s for CW and for all the dates that you could find from now. The change is also for the PVG not sure for the rest as I was only watching those two routes.

    For off-peak dates, one way Reward Flight Saver in CW to HND is 100k Avios plus £275. However this is not the best value option as you can also have the option to use 75k Avios plus £350, which means buying the 25k Avios at £75 (0.3p per Avios).
    Moving beyond the sweetspot, cost of purchasing more Avios become more prohibitive in Club World. For me these options are 66K +£525, 54K +£860 and 37.5K +£1050. None of these options are good value.

    That’s what I was looking. Last week the option was 54K +£620 which makes it not too bad deal.

    Have you considered using Avios boost to buy the additional Avios? They work out at 0.92p with 4X boost and are better value than the options avobe.
