Aircraft swap and free changes
MMB indicating that my LHR-MIA A380 service (BA209) in November has changed to B744.
Travelling in WTP and had specifically chosen A380 for Upper Deck and extra personal storage. I have no issue with the B744 but when offered a choice, I’ll take the A380 as in this case.
The A380 came with a risk of missed connection in MIA (onward to MCO). Now the A380 is gone am I entitled to ask for a free swap to the earlier BA207 to MIA? This would greatly reduce the likelihood of a missed connection at MIA. If not, it’s fine as is.
I’ve searched the forum but can’t find anything. Currently digging through T&C’s but I’m sure someone on here can answer more quickly than I’ll find it.

Try this:
Aircraft swap. Would BA allow me to change flight?
(I entered "aircraft swap change" into the search function)

Thanks madfish. Starting in BHD so would require a transfer from LHR to LGW which I want to avoid. I could have gone from Dublin with one stop on AA but choose the BA option (3 legs as opposed to 2) to guarantee the TP’s required to retain Silver.
