[BA Flyer IHG Stayer]

The extra availability only applies to BA flights as they are the only ones they control.

But since you have to book via BA when using a 2-4-1 you pay whatever points and cash BA are charging,

If you want EI pricing then you need to book via EI but you can’t then use a 2-4-1.
