Thank you for the great find. This is a decent fare from the west coast.
My questions:
1. The AARP discount only works when ALL segments are operated by BA, correct? For best pricing (before AARP discount), I see that for many dates, the return segments are operated by IB.
2. When exactly is EOS? ITA Matrix and GF have different end dates.
3. The fare code is INX5C1S3, correct?
4. I know that for ex-SFO BA flights, some are flown with the new J class (some 777), whilst others are flown with the old and dreaded 2-3-2 nasty J seats (A 380). How often does BA change their equipment? I really don't want to risk flying in the old J cabin.
Thank you very much.

4. In my experience, BA do a fair bit of aircraft swapping — not just day-of operational swaps, but selling an aircraft type that might not actually operate the route — so it's hard to know for sure. The closer your travel dates, the more certainty you can have in the operating fleet type. The 78X and 351 are both 100% Club Suites, as well as a majority of the 772 (90% Club Suites) and 77W (70% Club Suites).

1. Incorrect. BA-marketed flights operated by BA, AA, or IB (or any combination thereof) are all eligible for the discount.

Nice, when I try from Sfo it just throws out no flights found. Take away AARP and it shows up. Very odd.

Now, if only the morons at BA would unlock my account, I could apply the CHASEBA10 code. I guess this is revenue lost for them...

Try restarting your computer. I got the same strange error message last night. I restarted my computer and all was well. Make sure all your BA pages are closed and start fresh from AARP.
