  Had J/f companion voucher tickets to DXB end Sept. Cancelled, rebooked and got Club suites on way out where there was no AVIOS availability and F back. Used some Avios to offset cost and to upgrade Rtn to F for total 68,000AV plus £1750 for two plus got my companion voucher back – all for £650 more than if using the Companion voucher! Total bargain. People do do the Math plus then get over 25,000AV for the flights when taken! Result.

    Nice work. It’s a no brainer if you have the cash. Especially to USA where the “charges” are 65% of the ticket cost!

  Early/late OT as no bits – our domestic connection on Saturday was cancelled. My OH was on a cash booking. As BA paid for us to get a taxi to LHR we’re not expecting a refund, however he has only received Avios or tier points for the long haul sector, which seems mean as it wasn’t his fault that he didn’t fly the domestic leg. If our return flights go to plan, he should still get 140 + 140 + 40 tier points which should get him to Bronze, but we’d be very annoyed if he missed out on this through no fault of his own. I thought I had read on here that tier points were still awarded for cancelled flights.

    You can apply online in the complaints area for Original Routing Credit and should get back your missing avios and teir points.

    I did exactly this for a flight cancel/divert on the 25th of July. I filled in the form on the 30th and got them credited about the 9th of August.

    Google “Flyertalk original routing credit” for their guide.

  Made the mistake of booking to PHL and adding a car in the booking process. Paid £100 more than if I had booked the flights only and then added the car on a separate booking. Usually its cheaper to do th former but not with this great offer. Beware

    if its inside 24 hours can you not just cancel it?

      24h cooling off does not apply to holiday bookings made online. Perhaps Kevin booked on the phone?

        Are you sure Genghis? I have cancelled holiday bookings made online within the first 24 hours of booking.

  O/T we will have a long layover in atlanta later this month. Travelling delta economy from MCO then connecting with ba flight to heathrow (pilots permitting) Is there a delta arrivals lounge as ba check in desk wont be open so cant get airside straight away. OH has platinum amex card and i am supplementary. Our daughter is also travelling so it would be for 3. Thanks

  Rob, BA related. Seen T.P.G article on BA reducing CIS/YQ fees (surcharges) for US-UK?

  I’m wondering if it’s for just O/W and if it’s only for future bookings ie, could it be argued that existing bookings made before the change (and not yet flown) should get a reduction?

  Would be interested on your take on it.

    Shame it’s only Economy.

      Although probably just as well otherwise wave goodbye to premium reward space from the USA! They have such ludicrously generous points offers over there the fees/surcharges are all that are keeping BA looking less appealing for them doing a redemption!

  Some great prices, shame I’m at the T5 Thistle awaiting our holiday to the Med or I’d be keen on a few of those options. Can’t complain too much as this holiday was booked using the iberia points deal, had a nightmare with them over the phone for months due to them not rerouting us when original flights were cancelled but fingers crossed all good now.

    I had same $hit with Iberia when a flight was cancelled and the only déroute they would provide was unsuitablé. Got forced to refund the ticket despite one agent having helped me to find a reroute for which there were even full Avios seats available. This was the 90K IB about 3 dans before thé final date for using them.

    What happened in your case with IB?

      Thankfully managed to get return rerouted via MAD to LHR instead of direct to LGW. Avoided a late arrival and extra time off work. Took many calls but eventually I spoke with someone with excellent English who understood and was able to rebook as I wanted without cancelling original booking.

        Glad you got it sorted Matt B.

  Saw this yesterday 4x Club to NYC not much more than we would’ve paid for Eco there and PE back.

  Lots of availability yesterday
