Open a new tab and now BA shows correct off peak price of 42,500. The YQ remains the same as what IB or AA charge. In fact I suspect due to Euro has gone a tad down, the USD equivalent went from previously $131.70 when I put a reservation on hold on Feb 22, to now $129.10.
The Avios needed are less than AA Saaver as in 42,500 versus 57,500. The caveat is, AA has 100% free cancellation versus BA has a cancellation fee - I hope it is still the LESSER between cancellation fee and the cash portion of the award.
For US it is $55 per ticket and an "additional" $25 that I have no idea what would be being "Additional".
Meanwhile, AA site continues its "flight not available" message as if it is phantom availability. Since BA can book it I doubt it is phantom, but rather is AA system cannot "talk" to IB system. Apparently BA does not have the same communication issue.
