lowee, which makes it $300 rt. 10% code applies on top of this

I tried searching, haven't seen any availability right now
The $0 fare means that $250 are taxes/surcharge. If you cancel a nonrefundable fare, you can get taxes back, so technically you get your money back*

*(I'm looking at my receipt, $50 are taxes. $200 is BA "Insurance and Security Surcharge", which probably won't be refunded)

I don't know about BA, but in my experience with US carriers they won't refund the taxes if you cancel. It ought to be illegal, but evidently it isn't.
