No, you have no legal right to a reroute in that situation, even for a significant delay. If it’s cancelled, then you do, but getting BA to do it on to a none One World carrier might be a challenge, regardless of what the legislation says!?
Although Which reckon you’re entitled to a reroute if you have been delayed for 5 hours or more? But I’ve not seen that interpretation anywhere else and it’s not how I read Article 6(c)(iii) and Article 8(1)(a).
