It was on the Money Saving Expert bit of a show on BBC 5Live earlier in the week, someone had bought the flights, paid for a non refundable hotel and non refundable car hire and didn't know what to do now his flight was cancelled. The question was about whether BA would compensate him for that.

I can see why BA did cancel it but there will be people (like the man on the radio show) who probably booked in good faith and it's not necessarily a good luck. Alex Cruz has made a big deal about people searching on price alone and thus BA has to compete on it. It's a bit difficult if you're not sure if the price being offered is actually correct though :-)
