I never used to have to pay in these situations; has something changed?
I am sure someone else will be along shortly to confirm, but I think I read a recent post where this over 120 minutes was quoted as a ‘significant change’ by BA, but under 120 was a minor change. But I may not have recalled correctly.

PS Minor change meaning you would have to pay.
