ITA is showing them as valid. Looking for March dates and everything is coming up roses so far. Havent tried to book yet.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Booking is key :)
AA.com, Priceline and Expedia aren't letting me book it.

Got 2 RTs on BA, one of which is on the A380 to SFO. Tried and failed to book an AA metal flight so I can SWU to first, but beggars can't be choosers.

Reports in FT are BA will honor but changes will not be allowed. Nothing official yet. Some OTAs have cancelled reservations, though.

folks on ft are getting emails from ba that the tickets will be honored

Dear Customer,

It has come to our attention that for a short period of time there was an obvious pricing error for business class seats from Norway to a number of US destinations. The correct prices have now been reinstated. Your recent booking was concluded on the basis of the invalid fare, which may have been up to six times lower than the actual fare for that journey, and ordinarily that booking would be void. However, we have decided in this instance we will allow you to travel the full itinerary as planned.
