If you've been hoarding Avios for a transatlantic trip, this week's newsletter is practically written for you. We've got First Class availability from London to the US East Coast, business class wide open across multiple routes, and a Hyatt sweet spot that I genuinely cannot believe is still priced the way it is.

There's also a time-sensitive heads-up in this issue: Cathay Pacific is doubling its fuel surcharges from March 18 onwards, and Citi is killing points sharing on May 16. Both of those deserve your attention before you scroll past them.

The Chase Avios transfer bonus (20% extra to British Airways, Aer Lingus, and Iberia) runs through March 31 - and combined with the flight availability we're seeing this week, the timing could not be better. Miles & Points Daily had the full rundown on the BA status changes and Marriott voucher improvements yesterday if you want the deeper read.

Sticking with today's theme of British Airways deals and Avios bookings - which of the following transfer partners is currently offering a 20% bonus when you send Chase Ultimate Rewards to Avios?

The answer is at the bottom of today's newsletter - keep scrolling!

LHR to BOS on British Airways - First Class

Just 80,000 Avios one-way (peak pricing)

Available: Apr 3, Apr 5, Apr 6, Apr 7, Apr 8 - medium availability so move quickly

Why it's special: First Class transatlantic awards are genuinely rare. British Airways doesn't release First Class availability freely, so seeing multiple dates open into Boston is worth paying attention to. The off-peak rate is just 68,000 Avios - but even at the peak 80,000 price, you're looking at excellent value on a product that retails for well over £4,000 one-way.

With the current 20% Chase Ultimate Rewards transfer bonus to British Airways Avios (running through March 31), you could cover this redemption with just 67,000 Chase points. That's exceptional value for a First Class transatlantic seat.

How to book: Transfer Chase Ultimate Rewards to British Airways Executive Club with the 20% bonus, then search on ba.com for LHR-BOS First Class availability.

All deals below are on British Airways Avios. The 20% Chase transfer bonus to BA through March 31 makes all of these even cheaper in Chase points terms.
