TATL Positioning Flights Cancelled (April)

Flying GLA - LHR - PHL in April.

Both my shorthaul flights have changed - one cancelled and the other retimed to 2:45 hours later.

Been through MMB on the website and both the original flights and time are available. Is this just BA IT playing catchup?

Thanks

when you say both you mean the GLA-LHR and LHR-GLA?

are you saying the email showing the changes and new flight times doesn't align with MMB?

I have had a 3 bookings with changed domestic connections to/from long haul flights both GLA to LHR and LHR to GLA in the last few days, only one of them asked me to accept or choose an alternative flight the other 2 they simply changed my flights and they showed in MMB (A quick call sorted this out to better connections than the ones they were imposing). The existing flights which they cancelled are no longer available to book.

Yes.

The GLA - LHR flight - BA1477 is cancelled. The LHR - GLA flight - BA1476 is retimed from 10:15 to 12:45. I have not accepted any changes and when I go through MMB to look at options, BA1477 is still shown.

When you say "positioning" is this all on one PNR?

Thank you - I'll check on EF and give them a call.

time changes usually don't go through the disruption page or require you to accept new flights - but of course depending on how much it has changed you may be able to do an invol change by calling.

a flight cancellation should go thro tghe disruption page and require you accept new flights or choose others.

Sorry, being daft.

Flight BA1477 at 07:55 has indeed been cancelled but there is now BA1475 at 07:55 (which they have not rebooked me on).

I was always told at school I should read the question. I'll call them.

Thanks all.
