BA fly drive
Ive a fly drive booked for end of June. Not sure we want to go now even if the travel ban is lifted and everything’s open again.
We’ve only got a couple of hundred pounds to pay to the balance. What I’m wondering is if I cancel now, would I get what I’ve paid back. minus the deposit? Or lose it all? |

I'm sorry, I can't answer your question, but have you tried to move your booking?

As I understand, BA are only talking to those travelling in the next 72 hours.
My flight next Friday has been cancelled and I rang on Tuesday this week to request a cash rather than voucher refund (Avios booking); long time on hold; when answered, they advised that they are asking all who are NOT travelling within the next 72 hours to hang up and call back when appropriate. Have a look at the HeadforPoints site; an article on there recently re a possible change in the regulations that guarantee you a cash refund if cancelling a holiday, ie, flight plus car/hotel etc. Edited at 02:02 PM. |

I have read on another forum, that because balance is not due till 5 weeks before the trip, that you can actually claim back a refund of any excess deposit paid. We are also in that position, having overpaid about £900 extra, but balance not due till mid July and our actual deposit was only £225, which is much less painful to lose than £1200.

If you cancel now then the normal cancellation policy will apply.So basically you will lose the deposit. If you have paid more than the basic deposit you should get that back.

I have only paid the deposit, my understanding of what I have read on the BA site is I can get a voucher for my deposit or if I want cash I need to claim through my insurance as FCO is active but the flight is not cancelled, I have to pay the remainder by 11th April, I am waiting until then and will make my decision.
