@British_Airways @British_Airways you changed your guidance and waived the change fees an hour after we forked out over £1000 to change our flights to avoid #tropicalstormmelissa. Cashing in on the hurricane? You knew I was looking to change flights since yesterday, an intentional delay perhaps??

[Sarah Pannell @SarahHawkes]

@British_Airways what plans are you putting in place for passengers in Jamaica ahead of Storm Melissa? Will you allow passengers to bring their flights forward?

[Sarah Pannell @SarahHawkes]

@British_Airways @British_Airways please post a link to your guidance for changing flights due to #tropicalstormmelissa. Other airlines have clear alerts but I cannot find BAs guidance anywhere. Why were we charged almost £1000 earlier today to move our flights 2 days earlier to avoid the storm?

[Sarah Pannell @SarahHawkes]

@British_Airways Where are these guidelines posted please? I haven’t been informed of them via email or phone

[Sarah Pannell @SarahHawkes]

@British_Airways Other airlines managed to waive the change fee

[Sarah Pannell @SarahHawkes]

@British_Airways Our flights will almost certainly be cancelled on Monday yet we’ve been charged an extortionate amount to change to tomorrow. We’re travelling with young children and have no choice but disappointed fees not waived given the risk

Imagine boosting crop yields by >20%?

@RIPEproject research funded by @FCDOGovUK, @gatesfoundation & @FoundationFAR has shown this potential in soybeans by helping them photosynthesize more efficiently, without loss of seed quality.
