yes, so original cost + POUG amount

what wouldn't be refunded are any change fees paid for previous changes (e.g. for a change of date)

Larnaca in CE from £195:00 from LHR on BA. 160tp's for £195:00. And I believe Cyprus allows arrivals from the UK at the time of writing.
Seems to have a few open dates end Sept into Oct.

indeed, and in the comfort of Club World on the 787 rotation on Thursdays

Are there any other 160TP return routes that has the 787 as well?

UK arrivals allowed in Cyprus but I understood only welcome with proof of negative Covid test?

KARFA

Yes, currently Cyprus deems UK category B so you do need to have undergone a test for Covid-19 at a certified lab no more than 72 hours before departing for Cyprus and show a certificate demonstrating the negative result to the test.

Well that dilutes the £/TP ratio somewhat then. Assuming you're not getting a test the naughty way...

For those contemplating booking Cyprus, be aware that the UK may well be careering towards a downgrade to Category C very shortly. France, Netherlands and Croatia, for example, were all downgraded from Category B to Category C at around or even below the current UK daily new infection level. I think you should assume unless you are booking for travel in the next few days that Cyprus is very high risk. There's a reason flights to LCA are probably being sold cheaper than they've been for 10+ years.

The current situation is very fluid, and anyone who books a trip for the short / medium term is taking a considerable risk.

Hi,

I had booked a trip EDI-LHR-VCE return for early October. The outbound EDI-LHR was cancelled and the LHR-VCE flight retimed. I checked online and prices have fallen so I took the voucher option ( only took 10mins to come) and rebooked .

Saved GBP 93 so that has come back in a voucher.

Returrn EDI-VCE in CE now GBP 259 ( for O/B on 4th Oct and I/B 16th Oct)

Perhaps I’m being dense here, but if BA cancelled a flight why didn’t you opt for the cash refund?

The _Banking_Scot

Hi,

I could have done that but I'm happy with the voucher as hopefully will use it in 2021 and that this is my only voucher that I have. If the fare was more expensive or a long haul flight I would have taken the cash.

PUCCI GALORE

Love - I am 100% with you. I really think that this winter we all have had our wings clipped. I totally understand that people want to carry on as before, but it is looking less and less feasible. Frankly flying around for flying's sake seems a bit superfluous when people have had their memberships extended. I am certain that this may be extended yet again as with the best will in the world people cannot travel. Either they face quarantine and restrictions on arrival at their destination but almost certain quarantine upon their return. The USA is closed territory for all Europeans. These fares are so tempting, but how many times will we be calling BA because of cancellations or time changes.

Until we have a vaccine that is safe and effective; this is not going away. That is the harsh reality. I just hope that British Airways is still around when this comes to a halt.

Fully agree - some of the fares are very attractive but there are so many risks involved that I have not booked any flights. For at least the next six months, the situation is likely to remain the same with flights cancelled, retimed, borders closed,opened, and closed again, quarantines imposed, relaxed and then re-imposed. All you are doing is giving BA an interest free loan with your money. If they cancel the flight then all well and good you can get your money back but there are many situations in which you would not get a refund and be forced to take the voucher option which is another interest free loan to BA with no certainty of being able to use the voucher or as Pucci says if BA will still be around when you can use the voucher.
