That's right. This "don't sell the fare cheaper" rule is not implemented in the GDS system. The airline could publish each tariff separately by city but it's probably not worth it for the small volume of sales they make. Remember the rule is "sell at the local rate only if the local rate is more expensive than the fare in the originating city" ... it's not that easy to do.

Yes, BA will even accept cash if you want
