BA Amex 2 for 1 ticket open jaw
Hopefully someone can answer my question.
Planning to fly to Canada and back from US using my BA Amex 2 for 1 voucher with a travelling companion.
Can't seem to book on the BA website. Do I have to call up? Will I get charged?
Thanks for your advice.

Yes you will have to call up for an open jaw 241 booking and there is a small offline fee.

I'd say "occasionally" rather than "usually" since they tightened up on this. You are more likely to get the fee waived if, for example, the website has a problem and you can't book something rather than the website not actually having the functionality to do something you want.

Sometimes and I wouldn't say usually in my experience. They do have a right to charge a passenger if it's not bookable online but mainly due to the websites functionality.

Booked today over phone and they waived the telephone fee. Chap was very helpful and based in Newcastle.
Looking forward to my first trip on BA in First. Have done LH / LX numerous times as well as TG 3 times in First.
