If you book reward tickets through BAEC but on partner airlines you can similarly find your options are limited only to rebooking where there is reward space on the partner airline.
Thanks @KARFA, that is what I feared. It is just a little lame that they would not allow any flexibility at all considering they are operating the services. On the other hand, they are bankrupt, so it makes sense that they should not be burning cash.

Any opinions on whether this is something the insurer would like cover? I will probably cancel and rebook with Easyjet to OLB anyway, but it would be ideal I didn't have to pay anything extra.
