How does the Avios work? Looking for good flight deals

Hi, apologies if this is a dumb question but i’m new to Amex.

I have around 120k points and getting around 25k each month from meta adspend.

I am looking to use these for a flight to Cyprus, its a 5 hr flight which seems long enough for me to try to try out a better flight class as i had always flown economy.

I looked at amex travel and the pricing for business class from London to Larnaca in July is crazy expensive points wise, i cannot remember the exact figure now but it was something like 150k points or like £800. I thought amex points are worth like 1:1 when redeeming them for flights.

I have heard about people using Avios, is that basically amex points but just BA version? Is that better conversion value?

I apologise if these are dumb questions but I am not very educated on this and very new to the system.

Thanks in advance
