@weeble you should get the 75% reimbursement x 2 even though you used a 241 so the second ticket appears ‘free’. BA always try to avoid paying both pax but it’s been fairly well established at MCOL and CEDR that the companion’s ticket isn’t actually ‘free’ – you have to pay a fee and spend money to get the 241 so the second person gets their own refund. In your case you should also get 75% for most of the cash because in the CPT > LGW direction not much is real third party charges.
Ah, yes of course, thanks for the reminder.
