I haven't used it for a while and vaguely remembered they'd added some BA features recently.
I'm sure you'll have an amazing time. The A321 is definitely the best transcon option.

I think someone highlighted this problem a few tens of pages upthread.
The connection is disallowed on ba.com if forced on the ba.com multicity search by explicitly naming LCY as an intermediate stop. It may be allowed if found as a straightforward connection, and will be allowed by phone or through a travel agent.

What I think happens is that if you use the multi-city page, the first chunk and the second chunk are always treated as if they are not connections. And what ba.com is doing is requiring a arbitrary minimum of two hours between the chunks because they're not connections. Because it's now difficult to see the fare calculation on a BA-issued ticket, it's difficult to see whether a trip that's booked like that has these two chunks written as a connection or stopovers, so it's difficult to confirm whether this is the reason for the behaviour.
I think you can see the same behaviour in action if you try to book LHR-xxx-LHR on the same day. I think that there are some return flights that won't be shown even though they would be legal if they were a connection (which technically they aren't).
For someone who's trying to build a complex trip on a route that's not otherwise offered by ba.com, this limitation can be frustrating whatever underlies it, but I think these are likely to be edge cases, and such itineraries should normally be bookable (with the ticket properly written as connections) by calling BA. And people shouldn't be under the misapprehension that ba.com never offers <2h connections.

Brilliant find by lorcancoyle on the HNL-LIM fare, although I can't seem to make it work (searching Feb-May 2015). What might I be getting wrong? Would live to stack it with an ex-DUB-HNL. I can't seem to get SAL working any more, either.

Can't find any of the HI-Central America runs. All seem to be lapsed. If that is indeed correct, should probably update the WIKI.

A lot of them are still available at similar prices, but currently require a 7 day stay.

I'm happy to be corrected if that's wrong.
Well, I think you are correct, since I found EDI-LCY-GRX on Thursday with a 65 minute connection for sale on ba.com, but the exact itinerary is disallowed when found on the multicity search.
Might be worth forwarding to the ba.com IT people.

Not the best TP run ever, but I've found:
LIS-JFK-MIA : BA499, BA177, AA2387
LAS-JFK-LCY : AA120, BA4
LCY-AMS : BA 8451
Prices on ITA at 2087€ (GBP1600) p.p. Trying to book it though, BAEC wants GBP 3,300 p.p. Multiple agents say AA120 not combinable with BA4.
Is this true and is ITA Matrix giving me bad info or are BAEC wrong. I've already tried multiple agents.

Not the best TP run ever, but I've found:
LIS-JFK-MIA : BA499, BA177, AA2387
LAS-JFK-LCY : AA120, BA4
LCY-AMS : BA 8451
Prices on ITA at 2087€ (GBP1600) p.p. Trying to book it though, BAEC wants GBP 3,300 p.p. Multiple agents say AA120 not combinable with BA4.
Is this true and is ITA Matrix giving me bad info or are BAEC wrong. I've already tried multiple agents.

What fare component is covering LAS-JFK-LCY? You should state it to the telephone agents.
Can you book it directly on aa.com?

My mum wants to go to BOS next year so just made use of the I7SALE and booked us DUB - LCY - JFK - BOS - LHR - DUB. Not great £/TP but including the BA1, I got it for £968!! Used 20,000 Avios pp to upgrade the return to F (we're on the day flight back). What an amazing fare!

A heads up for people. I had booked my holiday for next year in August and it involved flying home on the Baby Bus on the Friday night but BA have withdrawn this service on a Friday and Saturday now.
I had to go through to AA and they managed to change it for my and extend my holiday by 2 days for no cost which is a bit of a result truth be told. :-)
You might want to check your MMB as mines completely disappeared tonight hence me noticing it.

Nobody has contacted me at all. Im discovering all this nonsense myself and having to move my holiday about all over the place. Looks like im going to be losing 70 points now as cant wait until the monday.

Less OT: anyone else having problems with ITA today? All searches I did yesterday returns "no available flights" today. A little frustrating as I'm trying to grab a CPH-HEL-LHR/LCY-JFK-LAX-HNL return while this non-sale fare still lasts

Here's an interesting little jaunt that can be done over a weekend -
- DUB-LON Thursday night
- LCY-JFK on BA1 or 3 on Friday
- JFK-MIA-LAS on Saturday
- LAS-MIA-JFK leaving 12.30am on Sunday
- JFK-LCY on BA4, straight into the office, albeit a couple of hours late, on Monday
Quite a hardcore jaunt, but up to 1,040 points for around Ł1,130, plus positioning flights and hotel in New York ^
Obviously this has to be booked before the DUB sale ends and is subject to sale rules and fare availability.
