I did call BA but unfortunately I think the Rep was having a bad day. And repeating the advice I got here, she had a difficult time with it. Either I sounded like a complete wacko muttering a lot of nonsense or she was not equipped with the tools and knowledge needed. The other scenario is she plain and simple thought this was becoming a headache. When her tone changed I figured it was for the best/easiest to cancel and re-book. It all worked out in the end.
Could you possibly give a translation to the terms to "bucket" and something about upgrading "UuA"???
