How long does it take you to book a trip on ba.com? Yes you could be unlucky but they could have already gone in the space of this discussion. So frankly my advice would be get on with booking it now on ba.com and calling straight after.
As noted by others, worst case scenario is you can cancel in the cooling off period.
