It was pretty flexible, and i'm happy although neither BA nor my travel agent (Propeller) told me of the change.
A few years ago my SFO-JFK-LHR was rebooked to SFO-JFK/EWR-LHR by the BA computer.....no thanks! Quickly sorted over the phone.
I don't know if things are different now, but when I used to be a travel agent (over 10 years ago) schedule changes were queued through the system, and each agent would work through them one by one when they had a quieter moment. Sometimes it might be quick - the same day even, but other times a week or two or maybe more. So maybe your travel agent would have got around to it in due course.
