Question LHR-MAD-BCN-LHR on BA/IB for $274.16 - great deal?

Hi folks,

Question 1: I stumbled upon a Coach fare from Expedia.com for the following:

Thursday, 2_ Sep: BA 458 LHR - MAD
Monday, 2_ Sep : UX 2006 MAD - BCN (Air Europa)
Saturday 0_ Oct: BA 7076 (codeshare: IB 4184) MAD - LHR
Total Fare (incl. taxes): $274.16

Is this a good deal for end of September period? We're already getting killed on our SFO-LHR fare so I hope our Spain excursion here isn't overpriced. Please let me know if you think we could do better.

Question 2: what's Coach on BA and IB like for these intra-European flights? (never step foot inside one before) Do they serve food/snack or Buy On Board? Would we be able to request bulkhead seats in advance or are these reserved for Elite members? (like in Star Alliance)

Thx in advance for your input!
