4. Claimed back incurred cancellation costs from BA.
EDIT: My affected flight was the BA Codeshare for AA10, which it sounds like was the same exact flight you had an issue with. This was about ten days ago I had this problem; flight was not for me so I’m not sure my status made a difference on securing the resolution I did.
Thank you, that's very helpful and reassuring that it's not just happening to me! Did AA charge you for the "upgrade", and have BA put up much of a fight yet about cancellation costs?
Just to add a quick update - I just spoke to AA, who tell me they can't help me as it's a BA fare. Perhaps it may be best to do it over email, but I'll try BA again.
