Business – this is the catch 22 with BA, you can only use the 241 on their flights by paying their huge surcharges. You can use avios to fly on Iberia to some of the same places, but not using the 241. Rob has done articles on the different options.

You can largely avoid the surcharges (and APD if no stopover) by starting your journey outside the UK, still using the new 241.
