I've had a look on the AY website and on the matrix, that routing isn't allowed sadly... So can't buy it outright.

BA online rebooking tool allows that re-route on BA codes, that's how I got rebooked. Moved my April trip to October and rebooked April on avios.

My rebooked itinerary is as follows:
15/10 10:20 BA6032
15/10 17:40 BA6073
25/10 08:55 BA6070
25/10 16:00 BA6033

I took a refund for last year's dates, should have waited...

I booked my ticket in Sep and BA were playing absolute hardball on not allowing me to move it to Oct (I didn't have the option to move it myself in MMB :-( ) They were happy to give me the HEL reroute as long as I stumped up an additional £830... I said I'd leave it and call back after looking at another, earlier, date. When I next checked MMB they were processing a refund without me asking me!

So your outbound has to be on or before 22/10, but return can be later. If yku got the on-line rebooking option, it will let you book both legs beyond 22/10.

Yes - sorry, I failed to add that I've already had the refund! A change to route via HEL would have been cool.

You can add me and my family (+3) as maybe.
We have open ticket to Warsaw and back due some cancelation so I can decide last minute,
but main focus is if we can fly w/o restriction to Cancun(via Lisbon) we will go there in late October 2021

if not we are happy to attend mini do

Booked - out Saturday morning (23rd) and back on Sunday. The booking with confidence policy does make these things much easier to just book and decide later.

Judging by post #10 I'd say not! See the wiki, I'm not sure about the convention centre bit but I assume it is the Hilton Warsaw City Centre.

PS: Booked - as above, out Friday 22 Oct on BA850 at 1400, and back Sunday 24 Oct on BA851 at 1815

Hilton Convention Centre changed it's name to Hilton Warsaw City Centre.

DoubleTree Conference Centre is out of the way, so I wouldn't book there.
