I submitted a claim for my MAN flights on Saturday cancelled with 6 days notice - BA has already told me to sod off so I am considering whether to bother pursuing a CEDR case.
Personally, if you feel the €250 is worthwhile, I would definitely go to the CEDR. It takes a long time, but not really a lot of effort.
In my first response, I highlighted it was a domestic route and that there were no government travel restrictions preventing travel between LHR and NQY.
The adjudicator recognised that the reason for reduced demand was COVID-19, however trimming the schedule was operational and not an extraordinary circumstance. Also, as LHR-NQY flights continued either side of this cancellation, it shows that operating the flights was allowed and not restricted due to the virus.
So I’d say you definitely have a leg to stand on.
