I check the same dates on the Aust. BA Site. and it gave me the full publish fare with NO CHEAP Options.
Also when used with the DONE4 fare I can agrue at the checkin counter to give me the same Baggage Allowance (2 pieace TOTAL 64KG vs 20KG!!!!)
I am sure I don't want to pay for the 44 extraKGs
Yes you can purchase those cheap BA fares.. just not on their website. You may book those same fares through any travel agency in Australia or through any travel websites.
This is true about yoru luggage though. If you have that much luggage to lug around, you are better off going for the Visit Europe fare which will cross ref this ticket to the RTW.
However, there is one thing you must bear in mind... although when you are permitted to travel worldwide based on the piece concept.. generally it is 35kg per piece, but recent events have cause some cities to only allow up to a maximum of 30kg per piece. Namely for airports in HKG, LHR and SYD.
But this changes entirely when you are travelling domestically within the USA. It does not apply when you get off from an international flight and with immediate connection.. but rather on a city pair when you do not connect to/from an international flight... on AA only, you are permitted a maximum of 50 lbs (22.72 kg)per piece only. You are allowed a heavier bag..from 51-70lbs (23-31.80 kg), but you must pay US$25. And another US$25 if your bag is above 70lb-100lbs (31.80-45.5kg).
