Has anyone tried this with a Avios flight? Trying to book flights for 2 from the US to Edinburgh then London back to the US.
I can lower the Avios amount to pay almost exactly $2,000 cash.
Problem is that I can’t book a multi-city flight in the Avios redemption site so I’d have to book the flights separately and the return flight obviously wouldn’t originate in the US but I’d be charged in USD.
Any thoughts or questions? Comment below!
