3) make BA route me onto Turkish. Assume I lose my TPs?
What is the most feasible? Obviously 2 and 3 sounds better but just wondering how should I go about doing it if so?
Many thanks
2 would be difficult because they've offered you a same day alternative, and 3 only applies if your flight is imminent, typically on the day cancellations.
1 opens up EC261 compensation, if you're willing to go down that route. That might pay for the hotel.
And you're forgetting option 4 which is take a refund and make alternative arrangements.
