You’d get double MR points via Amex Travel, so 2 per £1.

This beats the free BA Amex BUT the BAPP would get you 3 per £1 at ba.com.

Assuming the price is the same I’d be tempted to book the whole lot via Amex for an easy life (difference in Avios in marginal) UNLESS you need the BAPP spend towards your 241.
