It's another matter for those who decided to travel purely because they saw the fare - it could be tough to find another attractive option in such a short window, but perhaps BA has chosen not to be very sympathetic to those?
IMHO, the voucher validity should at least cover the month that the cancelled flights were planned. I still haven't got a voucher, and the availability of seats in the upcoming 40 days are rather quickly disappearing. I was one of many planning to go Jan 4+6 2019, but have no info on when the majority of travellers affected were planning to travel.

As stated in my brief message from Omega, only the reimbursement was promised within 3-5 working days of recieving the 'application' for it, but nothing said about when to expect the voucher
