@britishairways Had to cancel our honeymoon & rebook flights. Husband & I agreed refund with BA agent on same call; husband got refund in 3 days, 7 wks later I'm still waiting for mine. Called BA 5 times to chase, 72 hr promised wait time for reply is now 840+hrs. Awful service!

That! John Barnes delivers some real talk! Enough with the distractions and this absolute circus! Let’s call it for what it is #Linekergate
