BA did not proactively point the passengers to their rights. My friend is not a frequent flyer and would not have been aware of this (until I told him).
BA did not provide any vouchers or other assistance before the flight.
To me this is clearly BA their fault.
At times I have some sympathy for airlines who see this regulation as unduly harsh but then I am reminded of behaviour like that where my reaction is to take them for every (legitimate) penny.
