What’s the best use of Avios?

Booking flights on Alaska and/or American, me thinks.

West coast to Hawaii on AA/Alaska. Short flights within Japan on JAL.

When it actually works.

I just tried several attempted bookings to Hawaii, various dates, and all unsuccessful. Availability issues, and when there was availability, it couldn’t be booked online.

Clearly, I’ll have to try harder, but my point is that booking flights via Avios has gotten harder in the USA, at least in my experience.

British Air Avios can be converted to Iberia or Qatar Avios (and I believe some other variants).

Short haul (direct) AA flights. If you’re international then short haul flights on lots of partners. JAL redemptions aren’t bad. Longish but direct AA flights.

They’re not incredible anymore but I often find good AA availability on short haul flights, and with a 30-40% bonus on, say points I already earned at 4x, it’s a pretty good cpp earning rate.
