The Tampa to Miami AA flight has been cancelled, it was at around 16:30 and they've booked me on a flight two hours earlier. Clearly i don’t really want to spend an additional 2 hours in MIA if i can avoid it and it set my off thinking I may be able to use it as an excuse to push BA to re-route me; potentially via somewhere that has F availability home or even via somewhere that gives me more TP's. I would suspect asking for a re-routing via HNL may be a step too far but does anyone have any experience of using a flight cancelation to leverage BA into changing routing to your benefit?


Cheers
