Really ? Is this a thing? Will BA let me pay for it as the AA code shares? They are definitely BA flights just AA is much cheaper? Does one literally just ask for the AA codeshare price? Apologies if that sounds stupid but this is new territory and I assume I avoid the booking fee given I am gold too?

Google can't see some of the BA fares available on BA.com. If that doesn't work phone BA up and book it with the AA numbers.

It might not work if your using AA metal on the long hauls.
Wow that is a really good deal. What dates did you pick for NYC out of curiosity as I can't get it to price on GF or BA?
