That was each way so it was pricing at about £750 in WT+ both ways. That could then be MFU'd but I am happy to do Y for £136 return! Be a laugh!

Must be limited availability for the class of booking as my return flight BA32 on the 15th Feb is sold out now even though MMB shows loads of free seats. (Yes I know that doesn't mean much but hey!).

BA flight in Y earn AAdvantage miles for the following fare classes:

Y, B (full miles & 1.5 q-points/mile flown)

K, L, M, N, O, R (25% miles & 1.0 q-points/mile flown)

Except of course of direct services between USA and Europe on BA.
