yes, but maybe online they've messed up the programming.

I cancelled a booking recently for no fee but I called to do so.

while the £1 + avios trick works you end up paying a lot more avios than they are reasonably worth for the £1. If you get free cancellations anyway then the £35 short-haul ET redemption cash component gives you the best value IMHO
