I’ve got some great news for anyone who lives close to a city that is serviced by US Airways. \u00a0 \u00a0Yesterday was the first official day that US Airways joined with the OneWorld Alliance<\/a>. \u00a0This means that you can now book flights on the partner airlines that pertain to this group:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n
airberlin<\/a><\/td>\nFinnair<\/a><\/td>\nTAM<\/a><\/td>\nRoyal Jordanian<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
American Airlines<\/a><\/td>\nIberia<\/a><\/td>\nMalaysia Airlines<\/a><\/td>\nS7 Airlines<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Cathay Pacific<\/a><\/td>\nLAN<\/a><\/td>\nQatar Airways<\/a><\/td>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The one in particular that I’d like to show you today is the alliance that US Airways will have with British Airways. \u00a0Let me show you the power of this new alliance, and how it will get you excited to pick up some British Airways Avios.<\/p>\n

British Airlines’ Award Chart<\/h2>\n

Their award chart is different than most airlines. \u00a0They charge you the amount of points for the flight depending on how far the destination is from the departure city. Below is a chart that will show you how many Avios are required for a one way direct flight:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Let’s check out some examples of how this will benefit someone who lives in Phoenix.\u00a0 According to the chart listed above, you can take any direct flight from Phoenix that is less than 650 miles for only 9000 Avios round trip!\u00a0 That is a smoking deal from the regular 25,000 it would normally cost you.\u00a0 Below is a map showing everything within 650 nautical miles from Phoenix.<\/p>\n

How Sexy is this change?<\/h2>\n

Where US Airways Flies from Phoenix<\/p><\/div>\n

Anyone who is living in Boise, Salt Lake, Reno, San Francisco, El Paso, Los Angeles, Denver, etc, and travels to Phoenix regularly better be excited.\u00a0 Stuff just got real, and now your points and miles can take you more places for less than before.<\/p>\n

Check out this map below that shows everything that is within 650 miles of the Phoenix airport.\u00a0 Keep in mind that the flight must be a direct flight.\u00a0 You cannot connect to make this deal happen.\u00a0 That’s why living in a hub city for US Airways would make this deal even better.<\/p>\n

\"british<\/a>

See how far 650 miles is from Phoenix<\/p><\/div>\n

Ok, so let’s assume that you live outside of the 650 mile radius, well check out the next tier that carries up to 1151 miles from Phoenix and see how far it can take you.\u00a0 Direct flights from any city within this radius will only cost you 15,000 Avios for the round trip ticket.\u00a0 Still a bargain from the regular 25,000.<\/p>\n

\"us<\/a>

This is the window of 1151 miles from Phoenix<\/p><\/div>\n

The circle now includes Seattle, Portland, Missouri, Texas, and more.\u00a0 Now you’re really talking about some bargains on those flights.<\/p>\n

What about getting around the East Coast?<\/h2>\n

As you can already begin to tell, this is a bargain for anyone.\u00a0 What if you live on the East coast?\u00a0 Check out what is 650 miles from Charlotte, NC.<\/p>\n

\"us<\/a>

Wow. This one is awesome for all people who live in Charlotte<\/p><\/div>\n

You can basically get a round trip ticket from anywhere on the east coast to Charlotte for the discounted 9000 Avios! Wow!<\/p>\n

Where else can I use points like this?<\/h2>\n

We’ve already shown you how Brad’s wife and friends went and spent a weekend in Los Angeles<\/a> with a program like this. It has already been working with all American Airlines flights, but now that US Airways has joined the OneWorld alliance it is available to the US Airways flyers too.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to check out the calculator to be sure that the flight is calculating the right distance, use the British Airways Avios Calculator<\/a> to determine the exact amount of miles required.<\/p>\n

How do I get my paws on some British Airways Avios?<\/h2>\n

There is a variety of resources that offer British Airways Avios. Let me show you some of the cards that offer Avios:<\/p>\n
