For example, aa.com prices your flights at $6,242 with everything in business except the LHR-DEL segment. If you try to buy the same flights at ba.com, that jumps to $9,472, with LHR-DEL in business though (it prices ATL-LHR-DEL in full J).

Do you have to stop in Paris on the way back? As mentioned upthread, you can buy QR ATL-DOH-DEL then BLR-DOH-DFW-CLT for around $6,400 all in business. QR will be a much better business class experience than BA.

Thank you for the detailed response. That would explain why the fare in BA is so high when trying to book business. I wanted to stop by Paris to say hi to my parents, but I guess i'll go another time. Thank you for the QR routing.
