FTer's have struggled to get BMI and * carriers to take responsibility for changes and we've helped each other sometimes get a resolution. I feel very sorry for the majority with future award tickets who lack the knowledge to attempt a resolution short of cancelling. There has been no consistency nor acceptance of resonsibility to fulfil the contract by the ticketing carrier BMI.

Nicci I wonder whether you would like to comment?
So far I have managed quite well to get *A carriers to reroute me on their metal and have BMI re-issue the tickets. I agree that for forced cancellations BA will have ro refund the miles into Avios points; this is how the courts will rule.
My last BMI award ticket is on 1/1/13 with LX from ZRH to BOS and I don't foresee any issues.
