Does anyone know of any flyable 1x (anywhere in US) that completely eliminates BA YQ? My favourite BA 3x which was a 50% dump is no longer operational. A 100% dump would obviously be favourable.

For example:

BA238 BA199 1/13/17
BA198 BA239 1/22/17

in club world (booking code I) gives a base fare of $1846, and a YQ of $900 (there are still high YQ's in World Traveller/WT+)

In case anyone is interested, I still have a working 3x that cuts the YQ by 50%, but the BF on that 3x is so absurdly high that it only lowers the total cost on premium fares. However, if this 3x exists, a better one must also exist with a low BF.

The fare itself is golden for dumping:

ADD-ONS PERMITTED.
END-ON-END
END-ON-END COMBINATIONS PERMITTED. VALIDATE ALL FARE
COMPONENTS. FARES MUST BE SHOWN SEPARATELY ON THE
TICKET.
OPEN JAWS/ROUND TRIPS/CIRCLE TRIPS
FARES MAY BE COMBINED ON A HALF ROUND TRIP BASIS WITH BA
FARES
-TO FORM SINGLE OR DOUBLE OPEN JAWS.
A MAXIMUM OF TWO INTERNATIONAL FARE COMPONENTS
PERMITTED.
MILEAGE OF THE OPEN SEGMENT MUST BE EQUAL/LESS THAN
MILEAGE OF THE LONGEST FLOWN FARE COMPONENT.
-TO FORM ROUND TRIPS
-TO FORM CIRCLE TRIPS
A MAXIMUM OF TWO INTERNATIONAL FARE COMPONENTS
PERMITTED.
PROVIDED -
COMBINATIONS ARE WITH ANY FARE FOR CARRIER BA IN ANY
RULE AND TARIFF.
