BA means "exactly one direct [but not-necessarily non-stop] flight with any BA flight number", LON means "connect at this point at any London airport(s)", BA003 means "exactly flight BA 3", the rest is quite straightforward.
Perfect and thanks.

Re above

I can price this out on BA and am wondering two things:

Can the BMI Credit Card discount be applied?
BA comes back with the US domestics in I is there any way to force these in F

One must book by telephone, and give the AA flights by their AA numbers. Also specify that you do not want code shares (if asked, you can be straightforward and say you want the F tier points, no dishonesty there) and double check the fare buckets when you get the quote.

The BMI discount has to be a simple AAA-BBB-AAA with AAA being a UK airport, I believe.

Any thoughts on not taking the final DUB sector as bags would be checked to LCY?

Shouldn't be a problem if you don't make a habit out of it. Traffic across London can be a nightmare...

BMI credit card discount?

I must have missed something (nothing new about that).

10% off base fare for the BMI plus (paid) cardholders on BA flights (simple returns) originating and returning to UK airports.

Thanks - useful discount. I'll look into upgrading my BD card.

Im trying to book a trip to NYC and Boston(with a TP run in between) with BA and my starting point is GLA via London however i want to mix up travel classes so fly economy out and PEC back.

Is there a booking system anywhere that will allow me to price that up as BA doesnt seem to allow it on a multi-city option?

I

Thanks in advance

But not EWR-LAX? I believe it's normally a three-class plane sold as two-class, I'm not sure though.
