quite simply outrageous and you show an utter contempt for those caught up in this BA self inflicted chaos. A bit like BA do.

One missed flight is not one day, it’s months of planning, months of anticipation. It means loss of money as BA don’t cover what they conveniently call consequential losses for their incompetence. This could lead to lost onward flights, hotel costs pre booked experiences. It might be insured but then you have the fight with insurance companies trying to limit their losses and then the policy excesses. Had this occurred on the 2nd the consequences for me and my family would have been horrible. Even with more than 24 hours transit time.

You also assume its just just one day. Last weekend when they blamed weather the day before my flight was rebooked more than 24 hours later. For some it was longer than that. At this time in the year it could 2,3 or more days.

frankly an apology to the OP is in order.
