I think BA would plausibly argue that the contract started when you bought the ticket. This will go nowhere in CEDR, and I very much doubt an MCOL application would succeed.There may be some scope under the Consumer Rights Act if you argue the mechanism was unbalanced. BA are offering a small extra on Avios credits now, but presumably not at the point when you filled in the FTV form.
