It has been the policy for a while that rebookings are only up to 1 year of the later of booking or the last voluntary change. Some people have managed to get beyond that by going via CEDR, but this has not meant BA has changed their policy so you would have to do the same for any chance of success.
Also if you can change it via the disruption tool then try that as it may allow you to go beyond a year.

will investigate

that’s just the standard FTV option so everything is just held on a voucher and available to put towards a new booking.

Just had the final leg of DUB-LHR-JFK-LAX-SFO cancelled (125 ticket, on the obvious mix of BA/AA metal). LAX-SFO was the last flight on a Saturday so the routing was meeting the Saturday night rule (and overall proving a very busy Saturday).
(i) can I use this to push parts of this outbound route forward by a day, failing the Saturday night rule?
(ii) any chance I can use this to change my origin to somewhere within 300miles of DUB?
