After over 5 hours on hold, my call was answered
Explained final balance due today and although flying on 28th (not a strike day) returning 14 October, I would like to cancel the flydrive as I had found flights on Thomas Cook flying 27th Sept returning 14th October (799.99 total amount for flights for 2). Advised I would loose my £300 deposit. Which I knew I would. BA did state my flights were not impacted at this point in time, offer to extend final payment date for another week to see what happens. The issue I had is our son is flying out on separate flights to us, not with BA and I could visualise him being in Florida and us being delayed, knock on effect of planes not being in the correct place etc etc. Made the decision to cancel BA. The lovely guy went away to speak to someone and came back to state they would cancel the flydrive and give me my £300 deposit back. An excellent result for me. Good luck to everyone else. |

We fly on the 27th from Gatwick. I just can't be doing with checking for furthger announcements so have cancelled my £1105 for three tickets online and rebook with Thomas Cook for £1225. What an absolute joke this is.
Im surprised they still have seats at that price point. The Virgin prices are three times the price at the moment too. |

Well try and book a flight on BA.com on a BA plane to Florida on the strike days and you will see that you cannot. You can fly indirect to mco or tpa on a codeshare (ie not a BA plane), but not on any BA plane. BA obviously has no control over those inventories and so might as well still sell those as AA will.
3rd parties might still be showing the flights, but BA has no control over companies that sell you non-existant flights (then I assume try to get you to change them). |

Our flight home from San Diego on 10 Sept has been cancelled, had the text and e-mail about 10pm last night. Not managed to get through on phones. My husband has booked us on the next BA direct flight out of San Diego the next day (only BA seem to fly direct to LHR) on a fully flex ticket for about £10k! for 3 of us, should be able to cancel. We have then e-mailed BA Holidays (flight + car booking) to get it swapped over, extend car hire. I have booked extra night at hotel (cancellable). E-mail seemed to imply that we should pro-actively find alternative flights.
Rather an anxious wait now to hear back from them. I am at work so can't spend hours on the phone, and my husband refuses to as he is at an annual family reunion with his siblings and parents, one of whom we only see once a year as they live in the Far East. I am so stressed, should be looking forward to my holiday but I'm not.
