BA Flights overbooking

[lexxity]

Plus im not bothered what plane i get or company, all i want is NO DELAY, CANCELLATION or Overbooking!!!!!!!!!!

May i then suggest that you try another airline. The MAN-JFK is notorious for all of the above. Getting bumped has nothing to do with when you purchased your ticket. If it is so needed you will probably be asked if you would care to fly another route with suitable compensation. You are free to decline this offer, however this may then force the airline into dening boarding to the last few pax. Get there early and you'll probably have no problems. Little tip, the queue starts to form at about 0530 for this one!

G-BBAE , are you trying to make this your personal forum? It's getting just a tad tedious now.

Nice thought, but there is little chance of you getting bumped into First.

Also, it tends to be full of boring old farts and you definitely wouldn't like the atmosphere, which is very quiet, usually with the window blinds down, 'cos the FTQVs like to sleep enroute.

More likely that you would get World Traveller Plus or maybe Club, if you were very lucky.

However, WT+ is very nice and Club is excellent, so you might get lucky.

On the other hand, if you read your ticket terms and conditions, you will find that this sort of compensation is offered as a goodwill gesture, not a right.

And if you do find yourself offered a deal to travel via LHR, I'd suggest that you talk nicely to the agent, since BA has quite a "soft" culture and responds well to reasonable pax - you want the agent on your side, not agin you.

Dream on, mate, dream on. If you get bumped, you might get a reroute via LHR and a voucher. If you're lucky you might get upped to W. If you've won the lottery you might get into J.

If you get into F, let me know coz I'd want to know your lottery numbers.
