The UK agents would have been able to issue the same fares as the EU agents had they switched to a different Office ID on their Selling Platform but I doubt I would allow this if I were BA's Director of Sales.
Absolutely, and that's what I though POS was all about, rather than the currency in which the fare is quoted. However, it seems that both play a part and that's what I find confusing.
I also once had an Ex France fare to the Far East, which was apparently classed as a "Private Fare", and although bookable through the BA France sales office, not even they could tell me the fare rules. The whole thing was completely bizarre.
