Forums Other Flight changes and cancellations help If domestic flight cancelled on a connection

  • 11 posts

    I am due to leave Newcastle at 06.05 in May and then connect at Heathrow on the 13.30 to Orlando. If the domestic flight is cancelled, will I be entitled to drive down the night before, stay in a hotel and park the car for 10 days. Would BA refund for that if there are no alternative domestic flights that day to make the connection – or would they only pay for rail travel (which would still mean going the night before and staying in a hotel) can anyone advise?

    BA have other flights to LHR that will still enable you to get your flight to MCO that they will book you on.

    Is there a history of this flight being cancelled?

    Also I think you would need to be re-ticketed as if you didn’t get on the connecting flight (even if cancelled), you’d automatically be cancelled for the next one. This happened to us a few years ago (BA put us in a taxi to LHR but we had to be re-ticketed there and it took so long we nearly missed the next flight anyway!)

    Thanks chaps, the reason I ask is because at the moment BA are cancelling flights to and from Newcastle every day, ergo no flights at all

    Although our situation is not identical to yours I hope you may find it helpful,as we live in Newcastle.
    On 12 May we were booked –
    NCL to LHR at 9.15
    LHR to Denver – 14.50
    We were told on 27.4 via e-mail that 9.15 flight was cancelled
    As we are on a BA Holiday reservation we had to rebook via phone,not online.
    As has been suggested on here many times,we rang yesterday at 7.58
    We were offered a flight at 11.45 or 06.00 from NCL to LHR by a very helpful agent and rebooked within 15 minutes.
    I hope you get sorted out OK.
