Is 120k avios too much for one flight?

Hello,

I need a one way flight in December (~21st) from Nyc to Athens. All the business class flights cost around 120k avios which feels like pretty bad value, idk if this is bc it is high season, or if there is a better way to book other directly on the BA website.

I do have enough avios to pay that, but idk if I wanna do it.

Any advice?

I was booking a stay at a hotel in Paris, on booking.com. And when i went to pay I selected PayPal. I am not prompted to choose which card to pay with and the transaction goes through. I immediately get frustrated bc I notice I did not get to choose which card to pay with. I see that a debit card I have gets charged automatically. After calling PayPal they explain to me bc I paid using this debit card YEARS AGO on booking.com they used the same card for this purchase…

They say that I did not read the terms and conditions when I was making the purchase and that if I had I would have known that they may automatically charge this payment method. They also said they would not let me charge my other card on my paypal account. I think that is absolutely crazy. I also contacted booking.com and my debit card company, and nobody is being helpful. The charge is in euros and that debit card has forex fees, and I obviously want to avoid them. It is whatever; the fee isnt that high but it still annoying out of principle

I am mainly mad at the fact that there is so many services “facilitating transactions”, but none of them being helpful when needed.
