Update.
After emailing Sean Doyle and actually talking on the phone to a “Global Engagement Specialist”, BA are paying up for the ticket and the taxi. (They are also paying the €250pp)
Of course they “don’t normally do this” as I broke the original contract or some BS along those lines… I should’ve tried to contact them for them to sort – yeah right, that’ll work
I asked what the normal escalation process is if unhappy with Customer Services and she effectively recommended emailing Sean Doyle!
Also “transport” in a letter that Tom Stevens sent promising to pay “out-of-pocket expenses including hotel accommodation, transport, meals and refreshments and telephone or internet costs” refers to ground transport. Ah – plane not a mode of transport then…?
