I seem to have a knack for booking my flights for days with bad weather. I should reincarnate into a weatherperson at some point.
Wondering if I could get some advice before Storm Dennis hits, as I am still looking at possible claims from Storm Ciara.
So the story is that I was booked on a short haul European flight cancelled due to Storm Ciara, rebooked from CE to ET on a flight the next day. What I gather is that (1) I am
not due any compensation for the delay because it is obviously weather-related; but(2)should get some recourse from the downgrade? Or is that also not due because the downgrade was a result of a flight cancelled due to weather? If compensation is due, I'm guessing I should just submit a claim online on ba.com. (3) Can I at least get TP/Avios for CE booking, even if I am downgraded to ET?
Also, as the flight left the next day, I also have some hotel/transport fees that I was wondering whether I could claim. BA "ran out of Heathrow hotel rooms", and I was told to book somewhere myself--which I did. But I gather from previous posts that it's a hit or miss re claiming back from BA. And as the Tube/Heathrow Express was down at some point, I ended up taking an Uber, which I'm also guessing cannot be reimbursed?
Thanks in advance if anyone has advice to offer.
