They did this to me 3 days ago.
BA used to be good but not anymore
Can happen with any flight and any airline.
Travel insurance covers for such eventualities if the airline doesn't fulfil it's legal obligations.
Whatever alternative airline you suggest, there'll be someone else with a similar tale.
Any chance of a few flights from an airport up north, or even the Midlands, BA(or LA)?
Other London airports are nowhere near London really. Depends where you live.
Very poor service too. I flew all the time with BA in the past internationally, but they are just another bucket shop airline now.
Of course some would appreciate it but they're not going to be able to fill planes in the same way at those others, or the same way BA does in London. So that makes it harder to turn a profit. You could try filling planes up by running a lighter schedule, but then your overheads take up a higher proportion of costs and that means you'd have to charge more for those fewer flights which only serves to make those other airlines more appealing.
My Budapest & Vienna autumn flights are x2 what they were when I booked 4 weeks ago.
Might seem a bargain if they knocked 30% off in this sale. However, knowing they were 50% cheaper a month ago, you'd be more sceptical.
Sales prices might not be as good as they seem, although there's definitely some bargain "headline" low fares to be found.
Considering a night flight and train connections
Good for those based 'dan sawff' but add on diesel and a hotel stay and better for me to fly from Manchester (edited)
My Budapest flight in September has doubled since I booked 4 weeks ago.
I did the same for Copenhagen flights for an Easter break last month, booked 4 returns for £526 last September. The same flights priced at over £5k at the end of March
The best deals are for anyone prepared to bet on long dates.
I'd happily lose £100 on a long punt, than be scraping for last minute pickings and paying silly prices.
Waited till the next day and it dropped down again i used some avios which i got free to bag the flight for £92
