Another one in the SFO club. The below is from a new thread I created, mods feel free to delete the original.


I’ve got a return flight from LHR-SFO in April. This was a cash booking in F.
Today I’ve received an email saying something along the lines of “your flights been cancelled, we’ve booked you on the next available flight”

The flight I’ve been rebooked onto is the same flight as I was originally on, just now in CW, so I suspect they’re just not operating with an F cabin.

I was just wondering what my options are. I’ve had a brief scoot around the forums and from what I’ve found I can either:

Accept the changes and then later, request a refund of 75% of the fare.
I had read something about BA offering the fare difference. But this may not help me as the flight was relatively cheap. (As mentioned below)

Reschedule the flights. I’d be happy to do this. But whether they’re going to be operating with an F cabin for the foreseeable is not something I’m sure of.

I’m also a little unsure on how to navigate this on BA’s website, on the manage my booking page, there’s a button to accept the changes, but I’m not sure I should be clicking this?!

This booking was a bit of a punt taken right in the middle of the covid travel restrictions, and cost approx £1800 pp. I wouldn’t bork at sitting in CW for that price to be honest. However that wasn’t the deal that was originally offered to and accepted by me.

Thanks All.
