Mods: I already have a separate thread running about my cancelled holiday but I thought my most recent email from BA may be useful to others. Feel free to merge if not appropriate.

I have just received the email below about my cancelled BA Holiday (typos are BA's):

As we are working under the situation of a global pandemic which is force mejur, I am afraid i am unable to agree with the below.

Your booking has been cancelled and refunded and I am afraid there is nothing further I can help with regarding this, The flight cancellations were made not due to operation needs but due to the Foriegn and commonwealth office advisory against all but essential travel.

I am sorry that this may not be the answer you wanted and I am also sorry that you have been effected by the pandemic.

I am sure it will be music to the ears of all who have unwillingly accepted FTVs or who are unable to cancel without penalty to know that in BA's eyes the FCO advisory overrides BA's T&Cs.
