Aer Lingus Cancelling Flights for Summer, 2019 [Avios redemption re-booking]
Surprised that the thread hasn't already been started, but Aer Lingus has cancelled their new Montreal to Dublin flights for 2019 and, so far, BA is refusing to put Avios tickets onto another carrier without upcharging both Avios and services charges and fees and won't do it even with the upcharges unless Avios availability is already there. Flights that I booked for 120,000 Avios and $419.02 USD are now looking like at least 245,000 Avios and $1771.84, if they would even book them for me, which they won't because there are no Avios seats available. Seems to be an evident breach of EU rules by either BA or Aer Lingus.
For anyone else in the same situation, please let us all know if you find a solution that doesn't cost an arm and a leg
