If the BOS-LHR service is cancelled, then yes, they can remove that sector and get an involuntary refund on it. If the fare was more loaded. cost-wise, to LHR-BDA (as I would also expect) then the refund for BOS-LHR may be unimpressive. It wil also take a lot of time to calculate this refund.
Other options
- Look at whether it is cost effective to buy Avios to cover a CW trip
- Ditto, but keep original booking and UuA to WTP
- Keep original booking and do a fare difference to WTP or CW.
- I don't know if the dates of travel but see if the JFK day flight is operating, either oneworld or Virgin - may need a new booking though.
