MFU change fee : a mistake or yet another creeping devaluation?
I've just been looking at using a 'T' fare with MFU to CW. Previously the change fee for time & date on the MFU'd reservation has been the change fee of the underlying WT+ ticket, but now it's showing a $400 time & date change for the MFU'd ticket versus $275 for the base WT+ fare. Anyone know if this is this a mistake on the part of ba.com. or yet another small devaluation BA hoped nobody would notice?

I can't guess what the real situation is - only confirm that I've seen $0 and $400 on BA.com, and fare rules that seem to suggest $275.

Thanks for the feedback - like you I'm struggling to work out the answer, and I'm wondering how I'll ever prove it if I call BA in North America, am told the fee is $275 over the phone, then subsequently find them trying to charge $400? Unfortunately this trip carries an unusually high risk of change, and the AF PE fare sale is looking attractive, even if it does require entering the CDG lottery.
