Used it for a round trip to London a couple months ago, premium economy direct to LHR only cost me 1500 bucks or so with the full redemption amount.
You can convert Avion points to WJ dollars if you need to and they have bonus point periods similar to BA. But probably just worth redeeming using the Avion portal and using your WJ status as you would if you bought the tickets through Expedia or anywhere else.
Avion IP also gets you Accor status if you consider that valuable, I have never bothered.
