Reply To: Rebooking cancelled flights – 1 year validity rule means ticket has “expired”?

[Thegasman]

BA are talking rubbish as per usual. UK261 does not specify a time limit on rebooking.

CEDR has been a mixed bag with this issue & they do not follow precedent or have any means of ensuring consistency with decisions from different adjudicators.

At MCOL BA will doubtless claim that the legislation is not intended to offer a completely open ended right to rerouting & they have a point. In return you should point out that in the absence of a limit the judge should find in your favour if your request is reasonable. In the face of 3 cancellations then rolling forward 1 year from last cancellation is clearly reasonable.

As an aside, Virgin have just rebooked me, without any resistance, for flights in 5 weeks time to Cape Town. This is following a cancellation in February 2021.
