Now some flights may be operating to the USA, and their few pax may indeed fall under one of the USA waivers (returning citizens, etc). BUT ... where does that leave, for example, UK pax booked with BA on a flight to the USA that is operating (i.e. not cancelled)? Will BA offer refunds as the pax will effectively be denied boarding under US entry rules? Or do the pax have to turn to travel insurance?

Has anyone encountered this scenario yet?
Under those circumstances as it stands your choices are a future travel voucher, change the booking if book with confidence applies and you know what dates you want to change to, or travel insurance.
