Reply To: Lost at CEDR with BA – what next?

There clearly has to be some reasonableness here in the time limits for a rebooking. The flight was cancelled (again) in Sept 2021. Were the dates you were asking for more than 365 days after the cancelled flights? Or more than 365 days after you were informed of the cancellation of the flights?
Clearly there is no indefinite time. But given BA themselves were extending validity of tickets around this time to 2 years, and that FTVs are valid to Sept 2023, shows that timescales involved are not a) as rigid, or b) as small as 12 months.
In my view this reasonableness must reset and kick in again once BA re cancels a new set of replacement flights – otherwise it would just kick can down road until it times out to completely avoid the legislation.
