A simple case in point: a basic overcharge on a seat reservation has now taken me two months, three phone calls and umpteen emails and I am still waiting on a refund. I now have a named UK individual on the case so I am confident of an eventual resolution, but the process has been a joke.

BA, if you give a stuff about your customer base (debatable ), then stop this madness
I would wait a maximum of 3 weeks for a refund from a merchant, then straight to my bank to start a refund if no resolution has been had. I buy everything from BA on AMEX, and they always refund me immediately and get BA to pay up if I have issues (which is rare).

Also saves you the constant calling, emailing and worrying.
