Correct....my mistake, sorry...I was confusing the return journey.

If it's allowed, you'd (a) pay lower UK APD, (b) use the same number of FB miles and retain the (BA) Airmiles and (c) hopefully have the bags stored en route at AMS. Of course, that would mean an overnight in Amsterdam.

I've asked a similar question in the Award booking Issues thread but have had no response.
I hadn't thought of that as an option....I suppose a call to the infamous helpdesk as I'm not sure you can do that on the standard reward booking engine.
