BRITISH AIRWAYS POLICIES

Peak Dates
The peak dates for the Games are: 16 July – 29 August 2012.
All policies outlined in this document apply between these dates, unless otherwise specified.

Flight Closure
British Airways mainline and BA CityFlyer flights will remain closed for five days once in selling range, for departures 1 July – 14 September 2012. Therefore, instead of flights opening for sale at -355 days, flights will open at -349 days.

Ticketing Time Limits
The following new ticketing time limit rules will apply to a range of published and private/net fares in all cabins on both British Airways and BA CityFlyer operated flights:

Messaging Process
The Ticketing Time Limits will be enforced using the same process that British Airways currently uses for existing Ticketing Time Limits. You will receive a message detailing a date by which the PNR should be ticketed, followed by a cancellation message if the booking is not ticketed by that date, e.g.:

AGT/BA PLS ENTER VALID TICKET NBR BY DDMMYY OR RISK CANCELLATION /IF FARE
RULE HAS EARLIER TICKETING DEADLINE IT MUST BE OBSERVED

PLS NOTE BA TIME LIMIT FOR THIS PNR WILL NOT CHANGE IF REBOOKED. FOR A NEW DEADLINE PLEASE CREATE A NEW PNR

AGT/BA CANXD DUE VALID ETICKET NBRS NOT RCVD BY DEADLINE

Further Notes

Some fare rules that currently apply a more restrictive ticketing time limit will remain unchanged, and where
they differ from the proposal outlined above, the stricter ticketing time limit will apply.
The changes to ticketing time limits will apply to all sectors travelled on British Airways and BA CityFlyer
apart from those outbound sectors that result from an inbound sector completed prior to 16 July 2012.
