They acknowledge it's a bug but it's one they don't seem to be too bothered about fixing and they're happy to honour the dates on MMB/eTicket, I have this issue every time we book long haul as we always start in MAN.

I've previously had this exchange with them after being reminded for payment at the 7 week mark (April 8th) vs the expected 4 week mark (April 29th)

Thanks for waiting. As it's a known internal issue with BA Holidays, they're still honouring the balance due date on the booking so you don't have to pay your balance until 29 April, as shows on ba.com, the email and our internal system. I'll add notes to your booking to confirm this, which will stop your booking from being cancelled next week. You will be perfectly fine to make payment by 29 April.
