Simple 2-4-1 questions
I think I know the answers but want to be sure that my knowledge is current. I want to book LHR-LAX-LAS F, LAS-LHR J using a 2-4-1 voucher.
My understanding is -
1. I can book LHR-LAX F, LAS-LHR J with 2-4-1, but cannot include LAX-LAS as this is non-BA
2. I cannot book online as this is a mixed class, open-jaw redemption
Can someone confirm and tell me whether there is anything else I should be aware of. Thanks.

I guess you are talking about Amex 2-4-1? This can only be used on BA operated flights.

Actually it is the opposite; you probably will have to pay the offline booking fee because this cannot be done online. You do not have to pay the fee if it should be possible to make the booking online but is not possible due to a technical problem with ba.com.

You are correct on both counts. I have something similar booked for Feb next year!
BTW I recommend doing LHR-SFO-LAS-LHR as LAX can be a nightmare to transit. Alternatively LHR-PHX-LAS-LHR is supposed to be good (although less time in F).

You will have to pay the offline booking fee. I've just made a very similar booking and been charged the fees.

Drive from LA to Vegas, its a great drive and will take you less time than your return trip to the airport, waiting, boarding, flight time, waiting for lugage at the other end! I did it in the summer in about 4 hours.
OH, and don't forget to check your lugage allowance on your internal flight. It will be no where near the same as you get on you F & J legs!

Then there's some kind of inconsistency as I've booked offline as it was a mixed class redemption, and wasn't charged (when combined with a Gold upgrade voucher).
