Two weeks ago we called with the same travel agent to book our Hotels and where informed that our flight was now the day after the dates we had booked on the home leg of our journey and some of our seats had become unallocated. What are we entitled to as this has the potential to ruin our trip. Can the airline change our dates without consultation and give the seats allocated to us away after we have received wwrittenconfirmation?

They are Premium Economy. Needless to say I paid up front. Last week BA decided to tell me that the JFK to MAN leg had been cancelled and they have rerouted me via LHR. Instead of arriving back in Manchester at 05:00 I am now getting back at 08:45 – assuming that the transatlantic flight is on time and I make the connection. Had I booked the ‘new’ flight then the cost would have been less than the original booking.. (1) BA refuse to return the difference. (2) They refuse to compensate me for any inconvenience. (3) Can I have a refund of monies paid and go elsewhere. Thanks Mike In March this year I booked two British Airways DIRECT return flights from Manchester to New York. They are Premium Economy.

August is peak time for flights because of the school holidays. I would personally start to look for your flights now. Use sites like http://www.kayak.com that will save time searching. Gareth,
