Would BA allow re-booking into a different cabin for cancelled flight?

[wanderer]

BA have cancelled our return flight which was booked using a 2-4-1 and avios. Our option is to accept a slightly later flight, a different day, or cancel the booking.

We are happy with the alternative flight offered, but being honest, we’d rather now fly in Club than PE. Do you think we could ask to be rebooked in Club without paying the £35pp change fee?

Is there availability in Club ?

Harsh as it sounds, you should be required to pay the change fee, however a sympathetic agent might wave that as their INVOL offsets out your VOL.

The only way you are going to know is to call up.
