Reply To: Cancellation runaround

[UKFlyer]

Hello both and thanks for responding.

The cancellation terms in MMB are exactly as I typed above and are identical to those displayed during the booking process. I did a dummy booking with identical tickets/airports and saw the same terms.

In MMB, under cancellation, what I see is:
—
If the booking is cancelled before the first flight, a cancellation fee of £150 per direction applies. At any other time there are no refunds except for any government & airport taxes.
—
IANAL but I can’t see how this can be viewed any other way.

I would be inclined to just cancel then and go through MCOL because it’s hard to see how BA can claim that only 1 leg is refundable, which is one story I’ve been told and given 1 figure (£2166), or that if I cancel online / via the Exec Club line I’m entitled to £2106 as a refund. I am not sure CEDR would be able to look at this and I would need some sort of deadlock later or to wait 8 (?) weeks anyway.
