CONFIRMED - BA to move some Orlando flights from LGW to LHR 25OCT for Winter/Summer 20/21

[Orlandoguy]

I will be calling tomorrow morning to see if I can change my 2 bookings from gatwick to Orlando in nov then March next year to Heathrow to mco( Heathrow would be better as can fly from Aberdeen rather than going down to Edin and onto Mco via gatwick) if they don’t let me will just take refund since flights cancelled and rebook from the start again

1h30 for an LHR>LGW connection is below Minimum Connecting Time, so BA will have to rebook you anyway (even if the TPA flight were not cancelled). If the alternate flights you want are already available, you can call BA and ask to be moved to the flights you want, assuming it’s a reasonable alternative (which MCO would be).

If you booked via a travel agent (which includes BA Holidays in the event you booked with them), the change has to be done via the agent, rather than direct with BA.

So it’s not when you are due to land in Gatwick then? Both flights are still showing as live.

That's how I see it.im due to fly back on the Friday and land Saturday. Flights stil live and also the flight from Gatwick on the saturday using same plane I believe is still scheduled

Some of my family have had flight cancellation emails for December - I’ve been online and I see that the flight prices are much higher on the new flights than when the flights were originally booked, for those that have swapped - have BA been honouring your original prices or have you had to pay the difference?

We are supposed to be flying from Gatwick Sunday 6th June next year and the Heathrow flight just popped up so I'm wondering if they will cancel our flight

I am just off the phone with BA only waited 10 mins to get through, I had my nov trip to change and my March 2021 trip to sort due to them cancelling the Sunday flights. The guy I spoke to was super helpful. I got both flights changed so I can fly Aberdeen to Heathrow and he moved the hotel dates around for me and I ended up getting money back as the hotel rates have gone done, all in all it took him about 30 minutes to sort . Very happy with BA service again
