Dropping sectors in multi-sector, open-jaw booking with BA
Hi all,
I took advantage of one of the BA business class sale fares ex-Europe that I found on flyertalk last year, and booked CDG-DUB-LAX -- (open jaw) -- SAN-LHR-CDG over Easter. The DUB-LAX leg was operated by EI, with a BA code share. EI has since suspended their flights from DUB to LAX until mid-May (I received a cancellation directly from EI but the flight still shows as operating in BA MMB), and the LHR-CDG leg operated by BA on the return has also been cancelled. Two questions:
(1) What are my likely chances of being able to drop the sectors to and from CDG and have BA rebook me onto LHR-LAX/SAN-LHR instead?
(2) Is it best to get it rebooked now given I imagine flights to be busy over Easter, or wait until closer to the departure date to maintain flexibility or in case there are further schedule changes between now and then?
Thanks for the advice, as always!
