More strike email shenanigans...
Oh dear, just had an email from BA apologising for cancelling a flight on me due to the knock on from strike which:

* I had in any case canceled myself some weeks ago
* Actually flew ... on 3rd Sept !!!

You really couldn't make it up

Maybe I should claim EU261 😂

Contradicting yourself Fitch ... You flew a flight on 3rd September which you had cancelled a few weeks earlier ?

The flight flew, but Fitch had cancelled his ticket on it. BA claimed in the email that the entire flight was cancelled, which it wasn't.

Aha ... I had misread it as if @Fitch flew on the flight.

I guess there’s been a new intake of Summer Interns.

Given BA's usual IT shenanigans I wouldn't be surprised if this was entirely possible.

If you have any more flights on this PNR just make sure BA doesn't record you as a no show.
