This is of no use so my son then asked for a refund. Sorry no refund possible untill the flight has been oficially cancelled. On the BA website they state that they will do everything they can to assist passangers;
deja vu - exactly what happened to me early 2007. Non refundable tickets - couldnt get my money, and couldnt risk booking another flight in case the BA one actually went and I would have lost thousands.
