A little help - BA Taxes & Charges comparison
Hi all,
I wonder if any BA staff / TA's / Those with great knowledge could help.
As the US didn't make the list( as we kind of expected) and after BA cancelling flights left right & centre we've decided just to delay a US multi state this Aug/ Sept
Tried calling BA today to enquire about this but 1 hr 40 mins later, and well after 20:00, we didnt get through.
Could any of you with such knowledge tell me the following: Difference on taxes and charges between these two itineraries;
LHR-ORD, J, 31st August / JFK-LHR, J, 14th September
LHR-UVF, J, 03rd September / UVF-LHR, J, 11th September
NOTES: Both itineraries using an Amex 2-4-1 ( i'm not sure if this impacts so included it to be safe)
Thank you in advance for any and all help.
PS: If there's some handy site that lists such things that anyone knows about then please feel free to add that for our own future reference

Perhaps I'm missing something here but if you do dummy bookings for those itineraries you will see all the details for yourself. The taxes and fees are unchanged whether it's an Avios or cash booking.

Thank you I will put this down to BA IT being its normal self but on dummy bookings we were unable to get a breakdown, it went to a dead page upon trying ( several times
UPDATE: Have now gotten through to BA and found out - will mark this for thread for deletion via ADMIN if it qualifies

It was an Amex 2-4-1 ( rather than a straight cash booking) and whilst it does normally still show you the breakdown we had tried repeatedly and when clicking on the "fare breakdown" link within the dummy booking ( we already knew the fees for the booking in place) it was constantly, over 4 hours, only giving us a dead link.
Thanks for all assistance given. We've now found out it's a £300 saving which isn't a bad thing
