British Airways and some other airlines have cancelled and delayed flights at Heathrow Airport as Storm Lillian lands, with dozens of flights- and hundreds of passengers- affected.
Be prepared to be in for the long haul if you’re scheduled to fly with BA this weekend after a string of cancellations and delays leaves passengers in the lurch. The airline has axed a number of domestic and international flights at the London transport hub just in time for the long bank holiday weekend. Additional cancellations or delays on American Airlines and Swiss International Airlines add to the frustration.
Affected destinations include Spanish holiday hotspots like Barcelona and Palma as well as other popular destinations like Paris, Rome, and Milan.
Further Misery to Come for Travelmakers
The string of delays comes just a week before planned strikes by Heathrow Border Force on August 31, making the end of the school holidays a far-from-straightforward time to travel.
What to Do If Your Flight Is Delayed or Cancelled
If your BA flight has been delayed or cancelled, resources are available to you to rebook or- in some circumstances- claim compensation. Follow the status of your flight on Manage My Booking through the BA website.
It’s recommended you head to the airport before the original departure time even if your flight has been confirmed as delayed.
If your flight has been cancelled, manage your booking through the BA website to find out your options and if you’re entitled to a refund. If you booked through a travel agency, contact them directly to handle your queries.
Having a flight delayed or cancelled can be frustrating or even distressing. Know your rights and take the right steps to getting to your final destination as quickly as possible.
