    Thanks for clarifying. The only reason I want to move from avios account to BA account is that I normally book two one way trips ( RFS) on BA to save a bit on the taxes, as they are almost always cheaper from other European countries.

    For instance, the return trip form Malaga this summer is £24 in taxes or thereabouts, on the BA site, but if I book on the Avios site I pay £52.50 in taxes.

    Am I missing something?

    No. You're missing nothing!

    Booking two single Avios flights on BA is usually cheaper than booking a return on BA because the overseas tax element is lower.

    The Avios.com site charges full "tax" both ways even on two singles.
