Reply To: Cancelled flight, shifting from BA to LCC, what happens to Avios?

[JDB]

@SandsofEss – I think that given one of the options offered by BA is less than three hours later (albeit in a lower class) vs your preferred one on easyJet, that is more than three hours earlier, BA’s offer of rerouting might be considered reasonable. While neither BA flight is ideal for you, it’s certainly the cleaner option.

Re taxi, possibly for the early morning one as that means leaving before public transport starts from many areas on a Saturday but on a goodwill basis rather than entitlement. Your wife and daughter would also potentially be entitled to compensation for the cancellation at four days notice which is also a time frame that makes it difficult for BA to claim ‘extraordinary circumstances’ so it’s worth claiming for that plus the taxi and see what they say.
