British Airways has announced that beginning February 2, 2016, short haul one-way awards originating or terminating in the US will begin at 7,500 Avios points rather than the current cost of 4,500 points.  Bookings made prior to February 2 (even for travel after that date) will continue to price at 4,500 points each way for nonstop short haul routes on American Airlines and Alaska Airlines.  No other point redemption rates will be changed (yet).
