LHR Transit Rules Question (transit On 2 Tickets)
I have a question on the application of the rule that transit passengers pay less taxes.
I have a RTW ticket that takes me to LHR quite often. On that ticket LHR is not a transit but a stopover. I however also hold tickets on the same airline (BA) for the leg LHR-AMS or AMS-LHR everytime within 24 hrs after (or before) arriving (or departing) from LHR, making it effectively a transit.
Is there any way BA could (or even should) reimburse the taxes or is the definition of transit very literal 'on one ticket' in stead of in the spirit?

Bloody shame. Especially when you consider LHR taxes when travelling in A or D...
Was not really expecting it though.
