However, when I click continue, the taxes, fees and charges shoot up to £169.90.
Is this a known issue? I was under the (perhaps false) impression that fees out of London were generally high, but not necessarily on the inbound leg.
Many thanks in advance for your help!
I've had this happen recently while booking a friend's ticket HND->LHR. I was very excited about the low fees, until I actually finished the booking at which point they jumped to similar levels!
So it must be a bug, as "bait and switch" would seem too advanced for BA IT.
