For that same redemption flight (for clarification, this is not commercial flight where I am using avios to reduce cash fare), if I choose one of the higher cash portion with lower avios (e.g. Avios + $60 additional cash + $5.60 in fees), would my cancellation fee still be capped at $5.60 or because I paid additional cash, I would be charged full $55 cancellation fee?
I think that BA will try and get back as much cash as possible (up to the full $55 cancellation fee) and return any excess over that to you. That seems to be the approach that BA been have been using thus far.
PS No doubt someone will be along shortly to correct me if that is wrong!
