The £25 charge doesn't apply to flexible tickets, but do make sure that the BA telephone agents work on saturday morning!
Looks like Eurostar will be working on the day, but a back up plan seems sensible.
Here's the rub - what happens if I do not cancel the ticket before the departure time? Is it just as easy to get a refund next week?
