So with the automated system or someone at BA had tried to re-route me based on my initial delayed BA831 from DUB. Odd.
If this was your outbound leg then check your return reservations immediately - if BA flag you as a no show on BA269 your return reservations could be cancelled. I think this happens because of the poor synchronicity between AA and BA systems - but it caused me to have my return flights cancelled a few years back, when BA and AA independently booked me on different new flights after a 5 hour delay and (obviously) I was a no show for one of them!
