Sorry to jump in on the thread, but i will be interested in the outcome of this, as BA have just done an equipment swap for BA105 LHR-DXB in December from a 777 to 350 without first, when i log into my booking i dont get a choice to move flights like the MMB page says, rather i can only CONFIRM FLIGHT... and nothing else. If i click on Confirm Flight do a lose my ability to claim the 75% downgrade etc? Also i assume i cant book a seat unless i confirm?

Also has anybody ever had BA move them onto another carrier (say emirates) who is flying first class in these circumstances?


If this isn't suitable, you can continue to look for alternative flights.
