Fare Selling Levels in the UK

Fare selling levels in the UK will be calculated from the above Australian selling levels using agreed exchange rates which reasonably relate to the actual rates of exchange. In the case of first class and economy fares the consequential increase in UK selling levels will be phased over an agreed transition period.

The question of the retention of a form of "Normal" fares between the United Kingdom and Australia was raised by British Airways. It was agreed that this matter should be discussed further at airline level.
