We fully understand that many of our customers want to change their travel plans given the evolving situation, so we have put a number of measures in place so that you can book with confidence with British Airways.
To allow greater flexibility, we are enabling customers to change their destination, date of travel, or both for free, on all new bookings made from Tuesday 3 March to Sunday 31 May 2020, as well as any existing bookings that depart up to Sunday 31 May 2020.

Perhaps the confusion here is that the policy did originally refer to new bookings, but the same page now details concessions for both existing travel as well as new bookings.

Thank You
I am sat at home rather than being on my way to holidays in Vietnam. Shame.
So I have more time to read this, and other sites.
Those who are helping others with no chance of Payment - CWS et al.
A GIANT THANKYOU!!!

As with the Schengen ban, US citizens and permanent residents are not included.

With UK ban now in place from Monday, and as a UK citizen in the US for the next week.. are we expecting BA still to continue flying (to bring US citizens home, and UK citizens back to the UK?). I'm in LAX which appears to be one of the 'funnelling' airport for US citizens.
