Apologies if a similar question has been asked.

Our BKK flights have been cancelled today, just over a week before departure. I'm fully expecting BA to invoke the Covid-19 excuse to argue that this is due to extraordinary circumstance that could not have been avoided. I'm looking to at last request the compensation and see how it goes.

If this goes to CEDR, how would one demonstrate that BA could not offer a suitable reroute (under the 2 hr before scheduled departure and 4 hour hour scheduled arrival rule)? MMB gives me no alternative option. I've not phoned BA yet but not expecting an agent to offer a suitable reroute either. Would I need to request a confirmation of this in writing as evidence?

Much appreciated.
