BA - Transferring dates?

sarahb161 · 30 Aug 21, 11:03 AM

Hi All,

We've changed our villa dates form this October to next, just waiting on BA cancelling our flight + car package. I've read a few comments suggesting that if BA cancel, they may change our package to our new dates at the same price. Does anyone know if this is correct? Is this even possible if it is cancelled more than a year before our new dates, as they won't even have been released?

Thanks in advance!

Hi we where offered a refund on our cancelled flights even though we booked straight away for next year. However when they cancelled just one flight on our non direct flight they offered us a direct flight at the same price !

Depends on when your new flight would be, it has to be onsale/available for a straight move

Flight only - you can move to any date for no extra cost.

Package - flight moved at no extra cost but they reprice the hotel/car.

Only one of the flights needs to be cancelled to be able to do this.

If your new flights aren�t out yet then just wait until they are. Make sure you make note of all of your references (booking references, individual tickets numbers) as the booking will get wiped from their system at some point (well what the agents can see) and the references will help them rebook you.

With the package reprice does anyone know if you can change the pickup location only?

Many on the Car hire threads have noted that picking up away from the airport sites can result in huge savings.

Do you definitely just wait till the flights are available then call up and rebook? I have two separate bookings with with 3rd parties and was told this by both companies that I can do that but I haven�t been able to speak with anyone at British Airways to confirm this.

Just beware they charged me a fee of �100 to change the hotel even when I ended up spending more. I have challenged that and had it removed
