Called Gold Line, they are completely blind at the moment as all systems are down.
From experience, they will pay most costs.
I was on 329.
Booked an airport hotel as soon as I saw crew coming off plane and 5 mins before announcement of overnight delay by gate staff and their claim there were "no rooms available at airport hotels".
Not BA's fault but they should be obliged to tell people their rights - lots of families with kids slept in airport.
