The companion fare is INNT00Y7, which would be at £338.50 each-way or £677.00 round-trip for the adult. You could ask the agent to try to force a price quote for adult + lap infant using this precise fare basis code.

My experience of doing this is when the auto quote starts failing a few hours before the end of a sale, but the call centre agent can still get the sale fare by specifically asking for a quote using the sale fare basis code.
Just called BA and the agent is adamant they cant 'manipulate' the fare like that...

Looks like I am running out of luck to get this one
