Changi has a procedure in place now to allow transit through the terminal
You're assuming BA would be allocated 50 seats out of the cap on arrivals. I doubt they would get that much given the number of airlines still flying to Australia. Absent a lift in the cap, any seat BA is allowed to sell is one less that another airline is no longer allowed to sell.
