It won't actually allow you to select anything other than a credit card when you go to pay. I don't know why BA have this policy. I have the same problem when booking one ways from Europe to the UK.
Same here. It's definitely a BA issue/decision, no problem using my registered UK debit card for other foreign currency transactions. I have a Halifax Clarity credit card, so I just use that now to avoid transaction charges on non-GBP bookings with BA.
