So, can the BA fare be used?

The same (CX) fare is returned by using JL, AY, LA, IB, RJ, S7 and QF. I suspect that trying to ticket it through BA would just result in the BA tariff people correcting whatever bogus GDS entry is leading to that fare showing on EF.

The agent in Manila seems happy to book it at the price EP returns for BA, but with over $2,000 in taxes & fees. Also, must present credit card in person to purchase.
