Good luck finding a FF ticket on anything BUT BA.
What a joke this has become....
Um those fees are BA's fault not AA. Its called supply and demand, the reason you see all BA flights and NO AA flights is because everyone has booked the AA flights while nobody books the BA flights due to those fees.
