There were no hotels left closer than Windsor, and seeing as we live in central London we caught the Heathrow Express home and back again the next morning.

Two return tickets are £34 each, so I claimed £68. The reply was a cheque for £50 would be coming my way (as the duty of care form mentions a £50 maximum). I've already replied that I would put in a separate claim for each passenger rather than combining our claim, but does the level of compensation really get limited to £50 per PNR rather than per passenger?
Utter bull.

I was caught up in a cancellation a few weeks ago. Got refunded £264. £200 for the hotel. £34 for Heathrow Express and £30 for food. No receipts needed.

BA didn't even bat an eyelid.

Or maybe it's because I'm Gold...
