the amounts so far aint nothing to cry over, try looking at a LAX-LHR-TLV I found not only does BA want the 135k for the CW tkt but in my case $800 as well. See the LAX-LHR is only 1 segment and you pay X amount per each segment when you have 2 Long Hauls with the connection being @ LHR its double whammy time. What makes it worse is the total actual mileage for my NY-LHR-TLV was appx 300 miles longer then a LAX-LHR flight. So a NY-LHR-TLV is 4 Lonh Haul segments and you pay for 1 as if you were flying LAX-LHR

Thats why I havent set foot onto BA in a few yrs and why I still have 500k sitting in my BA acct. Thats why every so often I credit my car rental to my BA acct, to keep my miles alive
