After the chap on the phone cancelled it, he went to rebook it and found that they weren't back in the inventory and I was told they can take up to an hour to appear, and after speaking to a colleague told me that there was no guarantee that this would happen. I am obviously incredibly angry, as I was not told this prior to cancelling, and had I known this wouldn't have cancelled and just bought an economy flight for my partner so they could fly. I currently have hotels booked and can see that there are J flights available on those two flights. Is there anything I, or BA, can do to remedy this, or do I just need to accept some incredibly bad customer support?

Thanks for any advice.
