  what can I do if the reward flight being canceled before departure? BA and Iberia claim that we only can move to the next avability class, which usually a couple of month after, recent days IBERIA cancel the flights to Tykyo two days before departure and refuse to rebook to BA flight and only can book iberia next avabile reward flight!

    It’s a reward flight. Get the Avios back and rebook yourself – if a flight is going, it should have redemption seats.

    EC261 says they need to give you a seat at the earliest reasonable opportunity, this includes revenue classes, and other airlines (including those which they have no arrangement and need to pay full fare). Extraordinary circumstances has no bearing on this.

  Hey guys, any thoughts on the below?

  I had Qatar business flights to Tokyo booked credited to BA Exec. 560 tier points which would have extended my silver status. Due to Covid 19, the trip had to be rescheduled to a date past my tier points expiry.
  Any chance of BA extending status for scenarios like these? I can’t be the only person in this situation!

  Thanks

    If it’s within 2 weeks of your year end then they will

    However why worry credit 560 to your new year and book a SH 40 TP trip to earn silver for nearly 2 years instead of 1 and a bit.

      And let’s face it the status isn’t going to be used any time soon – no lounges open and few people will be flying until the Autumn, if any routes and indeed airlines are still going

  I rang on Friday afternoon (both my flights cancelled by BA) and full refund is on my Amex this morning – I was pleasantly surprised.

  Apologies if this has already been mentioned but anyone else notice that their 241 vouchers have been extended by 6 months without even asking?

  My first voucher that expires end of October now expires end of April, and my second voucher that expires end of November 21 now expires end of May 22.

  Cheers BA!

  Travel Agent refund question!
  Had booked in Feb, Business x 2 Return with TRIPZUMI from ABZ via OSL & DOH to BKK for 14th April flying SAS (Star Alliance) and Qatar (One World!) – do not ask how they are linked but could see all flights on both their websites!
  Flights now cancelled if looking at websites but TRIPZUMI refuses to process refund and says their T&Cs allows them to KEEP up to 100% of money from airline(s)!!!!
  Has also now changed booking ref to a new booking ref with ABZ to OSL (one way) which appears to be still running is now costing just shy of £3000….what I had paid for BKK return for two!
  Barclaycard are also not doing anything to help!

  ANYONE on forum with similar circumstances or can give advice would be MOST appreciated as at wits end

  Understandable when no-one is travelling. I see Airlines will raise faires (doubling at least) when flights resume
