LAX MIA LHR / alliance oneworld; f ~bc=Y

Business Class or higher


which returns a ton of flights, but the cheapest ones are all BA Y for the first and last sectors (LHR-CAI-LHR) even though I specified "~bc=Y"

Does negation not work for booking class ? Is my syntax wrong ? Is the code wrong ?

Answers on a postcard please
Likely an availability issue for the dates that you are searching for.
When there is no availability in I class (assuming thats the deal you are searching for) it will revert to Y class to maintain the price, if it bumps to J or C etc the price will increase.
