Excellent point, SanDiego1K. I should have thought of that. BA's recent fuel surcharges have bordered on the obscene.

Although neither of us have the breakdown of our fees to compare, it seems likely that BA is imposing higher fuel surcharges. That's roughly $400 more.

Btw, I'm sure Ms. Kamal could take Ms. Sobhi in a fight!

Are EMECO and BA accepting credit cards now? Any service / surcharges?
Also, if my first flight is CAI-BCN on IB, must I ticket w/ IB? Or can EMECO / BA do it?
Thanks

Emeco and BA have both accepted credit cards from me since I booked my first ticket (of about 6 or 7) from them about 3 years ago. In my experience EMECO will book any itinerary that includes a transatlantic or transpacific on AA metal. BA any that includes a BA long haul.
