This has happened before and will happen again. Now ideally this would be compressed to a day rather than a week, but the advice given was to hold off rebooking. So I do think you have some responsibility for this too. It's not really about the money, it's a big company which sometimes moves quite slowly.
I was one of those who the comments about delaying were aimed at. Sometimes you have to go with your gut.
In my case, I had a very narrow window for dates, revolving around returning at the end of October half term. I ran the risk of my kids missing a week of school and me having to take a week of unpaid leave.
I have checked every day for a week on the BA website. Nothing more has opened up in the last 4 days.
