Cancelled flight

[Jimmy001]

Hello,
We have an upcoming flight from Maldives and back to Heathrow and on to Edinburgh.
BA have cancelled our Edinburgh flight replaced it with another 25mins after we land. The next flight isn’t till the next morning.
Can I claim for a hotel?
Thanks

At some point BA’s system will pick up that you have an impossible connection and will re-book you almost certainly the next morning. You could also change the dates/times of any of the flights in your booking if you want to, but only once.

Assuming you go with the re-booking to the next morning then yes, BA will pay for a hotel room. They will probably say they won’t in advance, and may decline it at first afterwards, but you will get it paid at some point. Keep the room cost less than £200 to improve chances of getting it paid without hassle. Keep receipts for any meals you pay for between the 2 flights and claim that as well.
