uh...and what if a pax. didnt use BA.COM to get his ticket (like most people)...and therefore still remains formally uninformed ?!

BA ticket - bought in 'good faith' from BA (or agent) and not notified on ticket is actually an IB flight...misleading...misrepresentation?!

We could go on like this for hours...btw the example of the BA pax carried on EAAC - it would seem the judge found in favour of the defendant in this case as the judge deemed that BA had done everything 'reasonably possible' to ensure the passengers arrived in accordance with their schedule and most importantly the pax. had been offered an alternative BA service the next day and turned it down in favour of taking the EAAC replacement service - this is why the plaintiffs were blown out as they had chosen/accepted the EAAC option and therefore could not make any retrospective claim re. lack of service etc.

There are at least 7 precedent cases in last 10 years (havent gone back further) of an English court finding against an airline that the standard (IATA type) Terms of Carriage are either unfair and/or do not constitute a binding contract.
