The AMERICANS get a better price from BA than we do ,They are aways asking us in FLORIDA have you flown with BA and we say no DELTA they cannot understand why it is dearer for us than them .
Hope VIRGIN have teached them a lesson at last I bet FREDDIE LAKER feel good as they were awful with him for years .
Wonder where the money will go ? The only ones I feel sorry for is the crews hope they do not take it out on them .

That's normal. We pay less for MUC-LHR flights because we're in Germany, than someone in the UK buying LHR-MUC flights, even though it is effectively the same flights. Companies base their fares on the prevalent rates in the market they are selling in.

I'm not sure Virgin will escape totally unscathed from this either. They are clearly just as guilty as BA, but escaped punishment due to the OFT leniency policy, but that doesn't apply to any legal proceeding or class action lawsuit. It's just funny to see BA & Virgin plotting together, given the past history of the two companies.
