But then that same trick will likely work e.g., DCA - PHL - LHR - the steep BA fees are dropped week of travel providing availability remains high.

Just checked - this is business class we are talking about - 347K to 400K for DUB to DCA. Slightly cheaper for two layovers, including Detroit.

Did not realize those steep BA fees are dropped for last minute travel.
