i wonder if this had something to do with the upcoming oneworld membership and BA/AA/AS working on their IT systems? As AS and AA seemed to be the only partners that were affected by this...

Do any of you have any insight into the carrier imposed surcharge? With historically low fuel, $1,300 on a round trip BA first seems absolutely crazy.
Its great to see award availability back, but kind of pointless to pay a $1655 plus 140K miles.
Not a complaint here, just wondering if the system is showing erroneous info or is this legit? If legit, I’m not booking...

It doesn't have anything to do with fuel prices. BA doesn't want to not make money on award bookings so they impose high carrier surcharges. You might want to break this up into two one ways; sometimes BA surcharges are better ex-UK if you break it up as two one ways as opposed to a round trip ex-US. Also, if you leave from someplace other than London you can likely drop some of that APD.
