I have ex-DUB-LHR-JFK-SFO, SEA-DFW-LHR-BCN on BA with 1 night of hotel in NYC in December. The ex-DUB segment was cancelled. They automatically put me on a flight > 2 hours earlier the same day, which makes positioning a lot more difficult for me to do that day. If I identify an alternative flight that works on a different day of the week earlier in the week or the same flight but a week earlier, is this something that BAH can accommodate with the subsequent change to the attached hotel booking? Or does one have only the option to move things later? And if they accommodate the change on the outbound, would force a change to the return flight to keep the total trip length the same in such cases? From the regular BA schedule change threads, it seems they’ve gotten stricter post-Covid and I haven’t done changes to a BAH booking before. TIA
