No £35 fees charges for booking over the phone for that date in the future.

So we've got MAD-SJO on Dec 24th, flying home on Jan 7th - a date that's not accessible as of today on BA.com date picker.

Something to keep in mind if you're chasing Madrid to Tokyo (or any other lucrative IB route).... call them up as they can see beyond the 355 days
That’s really good intel! Many thanks for sharing - just to confirm , you phoned BA ( not IB) and they could see the earlier released IB reward seats and obviously book them ?
