They charged me full fare too, but gave me premium econ.

BTW, this was 9/11 week (well the week before). Think VA handed that better than BA did during the Volcano ash thing. but wasnt flying BA then so dont know.
I think you may be referring to a different situation entirely. The OP was trying to change an existing booking. It sounds like you were asking BA to assist you with a new booking?
