Ask for the full sum of £220 pp rather than opening the door to the reduced rate of £110 and don’t even specify how late you were. It is a contentious point as to whether BA is entitled to apply the 50% rate and arguably, on the same analysis, if you only arrived 49 minutes late, BA could refuse the denied boarding compensation entirely. However, let them make that case.
