Yes, AA will be cheaper by hundreds of Pounds, Dollars, Euros etc. And hundreds of thousands of Korean Won.
The difference is fuel fines. While BA will charge you an arm and a leg for each segment, AA will only apply minimal surcharges at all. Yes, the ticket price is the same for this fare but the "taxes" make a gigantic difference.
It is the same by the way with Star Alliance RTW tickets. They should be ticketed through UA.
