Thank you @NorthernLass so basically just BA flights and only difference from abroad is the TAX component 👍
The tax component isn’t the only difference. Whilst you will save on APD by flying from outside UK, you’ll also find BA’s YQ surcharge magically vanishes.
If you’re wanting to get to Latin America or some USA destinations then you’re best forgetting about the 241 and booking an Iberia reward flight instead (c. 100k Avios + £200 per person for south America from MAD.)
100k and £200 per person are Economy or Business fares?
