IB flight change – telling me to accept with BA, but nothing to accept?
Discuss today's stories:

Hi all,
Got an email saying there’s a change to my flight. To me, it seems like the flight lands 10 mins later than before from remembrance but I cannot see anything different.
I can’t do anything in IB side, but if I go to MMB in BA, there is nothing to “accept”? There’s no pop-up to accept changes or anything that IB is implying I should do. AS below, the times are the exact same.. “We can’t resolve the incident with your flights from Booking management.”
OLD time

10/10/2025 – 09:55@Simey – this can happen when a flight is rescheduled but then reverts to its original time, actually not so uncommon. If you can’t accept the change in MMB, you will need to call BA for them to change your booking from its current pending status to confirmed again.

When clicking on outbound segment, I can see the following status.
“Depart at 12:30, Thu 09 Oct 2025
Madrid Terminal 4S
IB0281
Business ( U )
Confirmed. Please note new flight times.”So seems like.. it’s an advisory that the flight lands 10 mins later, but this now froze up Iberia’s side of the management / options.
I guess you’re right, might have to do that so Iberia side is not freaking out over nothing!
@Simey – when a schedule change occurs, notably from a third party airline, your booking moves from a confirmed status (usually HK) to a pending confirmation status (usually TK) and until that change is acknowledged by the passenger, any changes are blocked and you probably wouldn’t be able to check in. Your booking is still confirmed, hence why it shows in the app as you copied.
The functionality for the passenger to clear this themselves seems to have been removed, apparently owing to passengers casually clicking away serious changes (as they might with cookies or agreeing terms) later claiming/complaining they weren’t notified.

I see – interesting! Wish I could just do it myself as per the email by BA, but I’ll give them a call to see what’s going on and to get it resolved. Thank you!
Interesting, as we had a similar notification from Iberia on some flights booked, but couldn’t seem to find any way of “accepting” the change. It was a similar – 5 or 10 minute – schedule change.
