Thanks. I guess it’s kind of annoying because effectively it means the airline can choose to cancel whichever flight(s) they choose – ie they can make an operational choice about what best suits/benefits them to cancel (and of course they’ll have made quite a saving on staff and fuel costs).
Just wish I’d gone for a more expensive hotel/room to charge BA for the night (especially given what they were charging for an economy Berlin to London flight the next day, which they must have thought was an acceptable last-minute price for that), or booked 2 rooms (ie one room for each of us, rather than sharing) so that I’d at least have got a few more IHG points out of it – but I’ll certainly know better next time.
(And given that I only flew BA twice last year and they messed things up both times – and 3 months on I’m still waiting to hear about the downgrade reimbursement for my Tokyo flight – I’m pretty sure there will be a “next time” 🙂
