Just spoke to BA first helpline and out flight is showing is delayed by three hours.
Do I have any right to change my flight?
There’s a flight to Heathrow that I’d prefer to be on, rather than Gatwick. But there’s no Avios availability
My question is “if they’re three hours late, can I change my flight regardless of Avios availability”
Unfortunately, delay does not give rise to any rebooking or rerouting rights. At three hours you may be entitled to compensation if the delay is within the airline’s control. At five hours you have the right to a refund.
