AA metal - higher "taxes" when booking through BAEC than AAdvantage
Just did a quick test trying to redeem for AA ORD-LHR on 15/Dec. AAdvantage is 20K + US$2.50. BAEC is 25K + C$116.49. So, BAEC is charging ~C$110 extra, but I have no idea where that amount comes from. Even a revenue ticket for that same flight has only US$23.10 in taxes (per ITA).
Another test, this time AA JFK-NRT on 11/Jan. AAdvantage is 25K + US$2.50. BAEC is 25K + C$2.57. So, that works as expected.
Any idea what the extra "taxes" are in the first example?
