If you bought the ticket the ticket more than 48 hours to departure you have the 24 hours to get a full refund as of right, and up until 24 hours to departures to get the GGL free cancellation. I assume there is more to this, since I'm sure you know this already?
Much appreciated.

I have a booking with free SDFC tomorrow, BA just shrunk the CE cabin on the departure I wanted to move to but they are still selling Avios seats. Would probably rather just abandon the return leg of my ticket / move it to another date than find out tomorrow morning there is no availability to change flights.
