Not true, that is not what I expect BA to do at all. Simply recognise the fact that actually, it is the same product and they can re-sell it at the higher price. I don't expect BA to give me anything back, just not charge me for the fact that I want to move by one day.
G-BOAC gave me a good explanation of the fare rules, so I understand where the charges come from. It doesn't mean that I agree with them, but I understand.
