[I'd also note that its a DONE fare but my original booking was in Y as there is no J on the routes in question]

Any thoughts on getting around this ?

Thanks
Can you tell us which flights?

DONE fares on QF may book into D, R, L, or B in that order of precedence:

Code:
>$LB5/QF                                               
005 LONLON 13JUN17 QF GBP 7900.00 DONE6    STAY---/12MBK-D     
FARE CLS  EXPLANATION                            BOOK CODES    
--------  ----------------------                 ----------    
DONE6     BUSINESS CLASS AROUND THE WORLD FARES     D          
DONE6     APPLIES FOR ROUND TRIP FARES                         
                                                               
 BOOKING CODE EXCEPTIONS                                       
   VIA QF  D     REQUIRED      WHEN AVAILABLE  D- FARES        
   VIA QF  R     REQUIRED      WHEN AVAILABLE  D- FARES        
   VIA QF  L     REQUIRED      WHEN AVAILABLE  D- FARES        
   VIA QF  B     REQUIRED      D- FARES
Is one of those classes available on your desired segment in the LON sales city?

Weirdly the Booking Code Exceptions table has become detached from the BA DONEx fares series but you can still view it on the DONEx fares published by other carriers. This may confuse BA into assuming that D must be used.
