Hi, I was scheduled to fly back from Newark with BA in early June and had several cancellations before getting rebooked on another airline, I was hoping for some thoughts on if I’d be entitled to any compensation. Originally I was scheduled to fly on BA188 on June 6th but this got cancelled far in advance and I rebooked for the following day, for this I understand I’d be entitled to nothing. I rebooked onto BA188 on June 7th which got cancelled around 36 hours in advance I think because my connecting flight to Edinburgh BA1450 the following afternoon June 8th was cancelled (I believe BA188 actually operated). After this cancellation BA automatically rebooked me onto BA180 out of Newark the following morning June 8th, however around an hour after this rebooking then cancelled this flight also. After this I was then rebooked onto BA2272 on June 8th out of JFK to Gatwick but this flight didn’t suit and I called BA and got booked onto the flight that got me home a direct flight from Newark to Edinburgh on United UAL161. I was wondering what people thought about compensation eligibility for this situation? I did apply to BA however in their reply they quoted wrong dates and put the BA180 cancellation on June 8th down to “Aircraft Damage” which I’m skeptical about as the aircraft scheduled from what I could see G-ZBLG operated another flight that same day with no issue. Thanks
