This is standard BA forum practice at this point in the strike-threat cycle, to book a back-up ticket with another carrier. It makes a lot of sense (done it myself in the past) but you will be carrying the cost if you have to use it and asking BA for a refund of your original ticket.
So if you have a miles booked flight you can only really cancel your flight, get the miles and fees returned and claim your accommodation under the cancellation section of you insurance?
If BA offer alternate travel dates are these usually from revenue? So we could conceivably move our trip to the autumn even though there are no miles flights available for the rest of the year?
Thanks to those here with the knowledge and experience to help out as many of us begin to worry about our holidays once again.
