LHR-CPT-LHR

I am requesting a change to booking 2 months after the original ticket validity date. The route has been suspended for more than 2 months.

During the 50% off Avios and Ł999 747 promo fares, we were very much still mid pandemic with no certainty. Anything and everything booked was a risk! You've got a refund, jump on the next deal that comes along and hope for a better outcome. Some you win some you lose.

You probably should have HUACAed. Others shifted SEZ bookings by months onto QR.

Lots of excellent guidance on this point: Cancellation / Re-Routing Seychelles

I have just been told by You First that a ticket I have which was valid up until the end of October is now valid until August 2022. It seems the rules have just been changed. Can anybody confirm this please?

TIA.

31st August, LHR:JNB. Apparently the new rule is one year from date of travel, not one year from the date you purchase the ticket.

Yes ticket validity is now 1 year from the out bound flight and then 1 year from date outbound is travelled for inbound flight.

Thanks, that's very good news Anonba

So despite the comments to the contrary invoking IATA rules etc, it seems the sky does not fall in if you go beyond a year and BA can choose to ticket as they wish after all. Who knew?
