I'm surprised no-one has yet posted on this thread today, given the complete meltdown at BA this Saturday!

Anyway - I couldn't find a straight answer, but how does EC261 apply to holidays booked via ba.com?

My family and I made two separate bookings for flights to Hong Kong, bundled with hotel rooms for our respective stays.

My mum and sister have their fingers crossed, and might hopefully be rebooked for travel tomorrow.

I will have to cancel, as my stay was only two nights, now reduced to one.

In terms of rebooking and/or outright cancellation, does EU261 still apply given the hotel element, and can we each claim a maximum of €600? Or do we forfeit this with a rebooking or cancellation?

Cheers for the info. Really bad timing - we were actually flying back for a family emergency, but I imagine people like myself and Bank Holiday-goers are more than a little p'eed off at the whole situation and near-complete lack of timely and useful updates...
