Reply To: Flight cancellation advice

Thanks all for the input. I agree it is unfortunate that she went ahead and booked but was desperate to get home for various reasons.

For clarity the flights were as follows (i mixed up timings in my original post!)
Original : 19/1/25 18:50 JFK departure – cancelled at 01:00 20/1/25
Flight booked by daughter: 20/1/25 08:05 JFK departure
BA offered auto rebooked flight with AA: 20/1/25 19:00 JFK departure

my understanding is that the next available flight should have been rebooked by BA automatically?

will follow up with BA and see what happens!
