Exclamation LHR-BKK March / April 2010 - Problem with taxes?

Done yesterday therefore 2010, but reported in the ‘2009’ thread….
2 x LHR-BKK return in C, with TG
120000 miles + £297.60 taxes per person.

Mindful of recent comments in the 2009 thread about taxes, I checked the £297.60 per person against the ‘taxes fees and surcharges’ quoted in the BA self-redemption tool for an identical redemption (almost the same dates) and was shocked to find that per BA it’s only £223.20 per person. I’m sad to say that a full 20 minutes of meaningless rambling by someone in the ICC this morning couldn’t explain or change the £297.60.

Does anyone know how to deal with this?

I’m at a disadvantage as I haven’t yet received the promised email of the TG booking (after 26 hours), so I don’t have details of the £297.60. (The booking itself is on the TG website though – so something works!).

Btw - I’ve been twice thrown the line that ICC can’t deal with the seating as TG have not released the seating plans. Strange –only 12½ weeks to go. Can’t wait to see the miles disappear from my inventory, and to get to somewhere warm.

Greetings from a cold but beautifully sunny London.
