September 2022 Flight Cancellations And Operational Changes
I know, it's not August, but BA303 on 9/3 just got cancelled.
Have 2 tickets for CDG-LHR-ORD-EWR one of them ob 125 and the other on 001.
Now I need to find a way to get both of them changed to the same alternative... :P

Flight cancelled for September - not allowing me to book given alternatives
Hi All,
I have a redemption booked for LHR-CDG in September. MMB shows alternatives I can book, but when I try, it says 'Something went wrong, try again' (or something like that). I have tried several times at several different times over the last two hours. The booking cancellation email came at 13.20. Any advice other than calling the call centre?

Flying TLS-LHR-CLT in September, single BA booking.
My return to TLS from LHR around midday has been cancelled so they've booked me on the 0755. The trouble is, my inbound from CLT lands at 0740.
Should I stick with it and hope they change the schedule again?
Only other flight is later in the evening so Im looking at a 12 hour stop over. If I change to the evening flight does that dismiss any claims I have for compensation? equally, if I stick with the morning flight and miss the 15 minute connection does that also sideline me for compensation?

My flight from LGW to Bordeaux first week of September was cancelled yesterday. Looks like many others too. Return is definitely ok as Ive been rebooked onto the flight out that I’m due to return on! Didn’t realise back to backs were possible at BOD!! No other options given so looks like I’ll have to call.

When I booked a couple of weeks ago seemed strange to see 2 flights a day for early September. So not surprised one of my flights cancelled, especially when I had the only seat booked in economy and I paid less than Ł60 return! Assume slot sitting.
Would happily book EasyJet. However, I have a couple of issues. I need to be in Bordeaux so can't cancel totally. I need 10 tier points and I’m getting very close to 90 days in EU since May Looks like a trip to Manchester or Inverness!

The robots will eventually cancel a connection that falls below MCT, but that may take a while. You may want to look at what other CLT - TLS options exist, but it depends on what is more important to you - leaving CLT at the current time, or arriving in TLS on the current time. There are many other routing options for that too. I wouldn't assume BA will add more services, but it does sometimes happen a few days after a bank of cancellations - there's sometimes a mop up exercise.

FYI. Our return flight from Valencia on Sept 24th BA409 at 11:25 has been cancelled today, fortunately they have offered an alternative the same day at 20:05 BA445 operated by Finnair. We have opted to fly on 23rd also the BA445 as we need to be back in the UK for the late afternoon of the 24th. Hopefully as both outbound and inbound flights are now being operated by Finnair these will not be subject cancellation, but hey who knows.

oddly hoping my corfu gets the ax. i had a LHR-CFU and SOF-LHR ticket and once the SOF leg was cancelled i could move the dates...but i put the return on oct 2 which is outside BWC and now i need to cancel the whole ticket so really hoping one side gets cancelled again to get the refund!

Ditto with an AGP-LHR Avios booking on 9 Sept. Lots of alternatives, inc some much better that I prefer but were originally not available as Avios bookings. So actually a result as long as not cancelled again.

Hi, BA have cancelled my flight ABZ - BCN on 25th September. My best alternative is now flying the day before so can I claim accommodation in BCN and meal expenses for going a day early? If I can, do I just change the flights online, get receipts and claim after my trip? Thanks in advance
