Redemption booking. F outbound WT return.
I've found availability for a reward booking in our required dates in each cabin, but to do so I've had to carry out two separate searches for each cabin. Is it possible to book this combination online, or will I need to call BA? When I use the flight finder and select F for the outbound, I can only see "as low" as WTP?
Thanks.
Thanks.

You will need to call BA to do it as one booking.
What is your routing, though? Depending on that it may be cheaper to book as two one-ways than a return, due to the way BA sets 'carrier charges'.
For example, JFK-LHR-JFK is cheaper as two one-ways, whereas LHR-JFK-LHR is cheaper as a return.

That said, if you can find enough avios and availability, I'd rather do J both ways than F outbound and Y inbound.

Cheers!
On the dates we've got there's nothing available for the return in other cabins. We're planning on booking it and keeping an eye out for availability opening up in CW.
Outbound has to be F however, my wife loves the CCR.
