@British_Airways If anyone is curious, @British_Airways did NOT help, told me it was my fault and they refused to take a human approach. Haven’t flown with them since, and I intend to keep it that way.
@British_Airways good morning. I made a terrible mistake and accidentally cancelled trans-Atlantic flights for my family of five for next September, not realising they were non-refundable! I was only trying to change the dates; are you able to help? Thank you!
@British_Airways Thanks David - but genuine mistakes do happen, especially when there is a big financial consequence to an honest mistake. Hoping that @British_Airways are able to take a nuanced and sensitive approach in this case.
@British_Airways Looks like we’ll have to look into what systems issues you were experiencing at the time. Thanks for your help; I’ll go ahead and update my complaint and be in touch if I need any more guidance.
@British_Airways I absolutely guarantee that did not happen for me - if I saw that I stood to lose several thousand GBP and our family holiday, I assure you I would not have done it!
@British_Airways And I think this is why I am seeking help; it all happened so suddenly and with so little information that I was so blindsided by the outcome, having not realised the impact until, as BA have said up to now, it’s too late. I certainly hope that’s not the case!
@British_Airways Well I suppose that’s the thing - there weren’t multiple stages when cancelling. When I clicked Cancel, there were no details whatsoever as to my fare code nor what would be refunded, it immediately said ‘Your request is being processed.’
@British_Airways It looks like I’ll have to pursue a refund then. Can you please detail the many stage process detailed by David. Can you help? Thanks.
@British_Airways Thanks for explaining Kelly. Would it be possible to discuss options for rebooking under a new reservation? This was a genuine mistake from a loyal BA customer of many years so would think there is always a human solution, even if the computers have limitations!
@British_Airways Thanks David. I’ve gone through your website and have a ticket raised but unfortunately I’ve had the ‘book’ thrown at me, computer-says-no. I completely understand a refund isn’t the solution, simply asking for the flights to be reinstated or rebooked for a day later.
Sweetheart, your Grandma Nora’s got a real painful burr on my heal, and if you rub it for me I’ll give you a whole quarter, okay? And I’ll give Audrey a quarter too, Audrey!
