BA 2021 cancellation thread

[Katnic1]

I am to to fly 16th too. I am hoping to transfer to Easter, but have just had a thought about our universal season passes. We purchased them this year on the 15 month for price of 12 month offer, but have just realised that they won’t be valid for Easter as that’s in the blackout dates. Does anyone know if it will be possible to upgrade to the pass I will need for Easter and is it likely I can still keep my free 3 extra months now that offers no longer on?

Last week it was around 5pm on Friday and the cancellation emails followed promptly.
The week before, they came off sale around the same time but the emails didn’t come through until around 1am Tuesday (after the bank holiday).

I saw StanleyCamel posted at teatime last week to say flights were removed so it was after 5pm. I checked the threads last night as I was wondering this.

can you move cancelled flights via chat or do you have to phone?

Can’t say for sure but Universal have been brilliant so I’d assume you could just pay to upgrade your passes to preferred and keep your 15 months.

You could email their guest services to be sure.

Thanks will do, however having checked the blackout dates on Universals website, it seems that they don’t officially start until 9 April. The kids break up in 1 April, so if we fly out on the 2nd and do universal in the first week, we should be ok.

Is Mardi Gras still on then? You’ll be blocked out concert days for main universal park too.
Preferred will also. Get you discounts on food and merchandise. Don’t know offhand how much it is to upgrade though so might not be worth it. We have 2 preferred and a power pass as Ds and I went one year over Easter while Dh stayed home.

Morning,

I have seen the phonenumber for BA holidays in the post. Anyone have a good number to get through for flight only cancellations to rebook? I have just been on with an online chat agent that insisted if the flights were cancelled by BA, my ticket validity is a year from booking so would have to rebook for an outbound flight by Dec this year, which would have been fine but already have another booking for then. Grr
