Avios Points

Hello Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place but couldnt find it anywhere else.
I need advice from an Avios points collector. I have recently got a BA credit card which I have a DD to pay off in full every month. The reason I got one is because I just do normal day to day spending on my credit card and thought this would be a good way to collect points for a trip to NY next year. When I applied for the card I checked how many avios I would need for 1 single flight to New York and it says 20,000 on their website. However, I have seen on other adverts recently that 20,000 is just a flight to Rome....very confused....anyone help??
cheers
