  • Book return leg tickets at T-355 at midnight online as a separate booking (note: this uses twice as much Avios as booking the outbound, as at this stage there is no 2-4-1 applied to the booking)
  • Call up BA later in the day once the UK call centre is open to have the two return tickets 'moved' to the 2-4-1 booking. This results in a partial Avios refund and a recalculation of the taxes payable (since there is now a return booking, rather than two one-way bookings).
Does anyone have any experience of having made this work?

Thanks in advance
In your second step why not just add them in to the 2-4-1 at that stage? This is what most people do.
