BA Web Fares

Who or what decides what BA are going to charge for a paticular flight?
I understand that there are a number of seats at each price on each flight etc but imagine this......

Over the weekend I was trying to book a flight to AGP via the Web.
If I entered that 1 adult was traveling the price for 1 adult each way £90.
If I entered that 2 adults was traveling the price for 1 adult each way £140.
If I entered that 1 adult and an infant was traveling the price for 1 adult each way £90.
If I entered that 1 adult and a child was traveling the price for 1 adult each way £140.

All of this was on the same flight at the same time on the same day? Are BA trying to get more money from Groups of people? Do they think that people wont shop around?:confused:

Sounds like you'd hit on the last £90 seat, so 2 adults or 1 adults plus 1 child were being charged at the higher price (not so for the infant who doesn't occupy a seat). I agree, it should charge one at £90 and one at £140 but that would probably tax the booking system a bit much.
At least BA's online system lets you easily see which flights on which days are cheapest before you select them. Much easier than entering all the possible dates to see if somthing cheaper is available.
