Flight changed twice in 24 hours. Do I have to accept?
Hi, I am booked to go to Mexico in the October half term with 14 year old DS. My original booking was LHR to Miami with a 1hr 30ish connection time and then Miami to Cancun arriving at 20;20. This was the latest time I was happy to accept to get into Cancun.
Yesterday, I received an email saying the times had been changed and I would now arrive at 19:25 into cancun. However the connection time was 1hr 6 mins so I was going to question this as it's way too short. Well, I have just had a new e-ticket issued for a completely different routing to cancun and not one they ran by me yesterday. I now go through Dallas with BA and not Miami American Airlines, as my original booking. These flights don't get in to Cancun till 21:45. Now this may not sound like an issue, but I purposefully didn't pick this flight before as it's too late for me. We would still have another hour at least, after immigration, to get to our hotel and we only go for a week. Do I have to accept this? I also wanted to avoid Dallas as I really do not like to go through there on the way out. It says original amended booking, but it's clearly a completely different two flights on the way out. Any advice appreciated. Thanks |

Who did you book with?
The 2 hours later probably doesn’t fall into a significant delay but you might get better response from flyertalk forum. If you find an alternative flight on google flights that suits your needs you could ring them and ask to get moved to that |

Thanks it was with BA Holidays. Apparently as the original flight was cancelled, I may not actually have to accept it, but I will give them a call in the morning. The only flight that gets in at a decent time for us is the direct which I doubt they would put us on. I'll see how I go anyway. Thanks

I was advised by a BA agent that where they cancel a flight, you have the right to ask to be moved to flights of your choosing without charge.
We had 1 flight cancelled on our indirect itinerary; rang them & asked to move to the direct flights in both directions. They moved us without issue despite the direct flights now costing £3000 more. Edited at 08:03 AM. |
