Can't even find availabilty SJC to LHR, loved the flight! Award travel surcharges. Why difference? All BA metal. Wonder what the comparison is but think not worth a thousand bucks vs. $11.20. I had thought the difference was AA metal vs BA but apparently not...
If you paid only $11.20 in fees, you were on AA metal, not BA metal. And $11.20 would cover the fees for two passengers, not one.
