Now “expired” 2-4-1 vouchers and latest round of flight cancellations

[lesscleverandrew]

This is not a problem yet, but I am worried about the probably pretty extensive round of flight cancellations coming this week.

I have 2 x 241 vouchers, earned 25 May 2019 and 19 May 2020. On paper, the latter expires 19 Nov 2022 (6 month extension), the former has since expired (on paper). Like many, I initially used both to book an Avios flight in 2021 which I couldn’t take due to COVID, so froze the ticket as a future travel voucher (to preserve the soon to expire first voucher), before “unfreezing” again by booking flights for 24 July this year.

*IF* BA does cancel my 24 July flight I am a bit concerned that they could refund my Avios and a now expired voucher?

I can’t be the only person in this situation now that the September 2023 travel with confidence offer is no more (for new bookings).

Are you flying long or short haul, personally I wouldn’t be too concerned if the former.

Medium haul.

Morning,
BA cancelled my August 2022 Houston to LHR flight (which was booked using a companion voucher) a few days ago. In the first instance, they simply offer you an alternative flight either on the same day or a few days either side. They eventually agreed to rebook me on American Airlines.
I think you only have an issue if you ask to cancel rather than move the flights to another date.
