This is one of my big turn-off's about BE. Been International via MAN or LGW with approx 6 hour stop-over built in. Arrive on time or early, find a BE flight going in the next 2 hours, approach BE desk to transfer ticket, of course sir but that will cost you £250! (then on one occation they cancel my orginal flight after the earlier one has gone). I know they want to extract more money from me but I avoid booking with them if I can, so they loose out in the end anyhow!
