Is BA taking the mickey here?
Yes they are. It's just money into BA's coffers. Makes you appreciate the overall value of redemptions if you compare to purchasing a ticket outright during a sale (whether that cash ticket is on BA or elsewhere).

If I recall correctly it was first brought in years ago when the cost of oil went upwards. Funnily enough, since oil prices have halved over the past few years, this carrier imposed surcharge has risen. Hilarious
