I have previously tried to do a change at an airport from a BA ticketed EI operated flight and was denied. I’d assumed this was because of a policy for these changes only applying to BA tickets on BA metal.
Today (and from the app) I’ve just swapped from BA ticketed BA metal to AY metal for free. I’ve yet to try swapping away from another carrier back to BA but I have the feeling that would work too.
Any recent experience wether SDC works from BA to AY metal or not? Flying from Helsinki to London next week and BA flight full with 12 rows of CE. Finnair flight earlier seems to have some space and that flight would take me to London a bit earlier.
