So I ended up booking 1-way tickets through BA for 97pounds per for the LHR-TXL portion, and then through Travelocity I snagged $300 tickets for the open jaw TXL-HEL-LHR portion flying on Finnair, coming to an approximate pricing of $450 per for the same itinerary. I can't believe that these "Partners" make you shop around like I had to in order to get the best deal for desired flights.. &
This is most likely a system failure that failed to provide you the cheapest combination. This is when a traditional TA would help.
