Morning all!

I've just spotted that our flights end of September to SKG Are no longer bookable, however I've not received a cancellation email, nor does the app store anything out of the ordinary.

Does anybody know if these flights will move to LHR, or will it be no flights at all?

Thanks!

If it's like the changes they did for August flights just sit tight for a day or two and equivalent ( probably identically timed ) flights from LHR will appear and you'll be moved to them .. There's no need to do anything at this point unless you fancy lengthy and pointless phone calls

Our Flight BA990 LHR - TXL has been cancelled
The return has been changed from BA985 to 993 so I guess that was cancelled as well?

Anecdotally, the Tampa website has changed the LGW flight from tentatively starting 1/9 to 1/10.

At least that kind of proves any resumption date it puts up is purely speculative rather than evidence-based.

The MCO website would still have you believe BA will be back on September 1.

This is getting rather tiresome all these constant constant cancellations and changes - now swapping LGW to LHR. Fortunately by sheer luck my IST flights are not touched - so far! - although I see that there is only one per day.

When will this all end?

When...

People start taking the threat seriously and listen to medical advice
Governments find a balance between Health and Finance/Tourism
Medical geniuses find a vaccine

Until then, we’re all screwed.

Just sent M & S Chargecard a Chargeback with screen shots of all attempts..

It includes a claim for costs.

Note M & S dont credit refunds received in a statement charging period - it credits in the subsequent charging period. (So I'm making an interest free 7 week loan!)

How are BA accounting for these" fake" revenues?!

You can do the Amex one without speaking to anyone. Find the transaction on the statements section (you’ll need the desktop not phone version) and select the Covid option. It will immediately send you an email and refund you.

You’ll laugh when you find it it’s so easy.

Received the standard "Your seats have been changed" email 5 min ago about an October departure from DBV to LGW. However, when I click the MMB link, it stated the following

Quote:

Your flight BA 2679 Dubrovnik - Gatwick (London) on Thu 01 Oct 2020, 12:30 has been cancelled

You have been rebooked on flight BA 2679 Dubrovnik - Heathrow (London) Terminal 5 on Thu 01 Oct 2020, 12:30

Your new flights are detailed below. We hope you find these acceptable.

If you do not wish to accept the re-booked flight(s) you may choose an alternative flight and may also change other flights in your booking free of charge, subject to availability.
You can cancel your entire booking – contact us if you still want to travel on any other flights in this booking.
There is no requirement to contact your travel agent unless you wish to change your flights.
To re-book the cancelled flight(s) to an alternative destination please contact your original booking agent. This may require additional payment.

I am going to call BA to cancel and refund the flight.

Just had email cancelling LGW->MLA Sep 20 and rebooked from LHR. I don't want that, tried several times to call and they just cut you off, no queuing on the IVR, just a message saying call another time. Why don't they just let you cancel on the website?

UPDATE: Got someone on web chat within 30 secs and they were able to process the cancellation and refund within 2 minutes. Way to go for anyone else not wanting a voucher.

yeah my dubrovnik flights were all moved to LHR and sadly the outbound at an ungodly 615AM has remained at 615AM haha! credit where credit is due--flights cancelled but moved to the exact same timings from LHR.

but not clicking "accept" until i see how the covid situation shakes out in coming weeks since i have the option for a refund now. but they are tricky by saying i can click 'View and Accept New Flights" button at the top!
