No, I think the pricing in this instance is mad.
LHR-MNL-LHR via HKG using BA & CX is £2k out on May 11, back on May 14
Now, if you tack on a LHR-AMS flight on May 17, the price falls to £740 as you're now running the trip over a weekend.
(It may be even cheaper if you put another city in there - I just picked Amsterdam at random).
On the basis BA will not charge you the difference if you don't fly to Amsterdam at the end of the trip, the pricing as it stands is farcical, although if the client is a stickler for cash, surely they're just going to pack you off on China Southern or whatever for £370.
