British Airways fined for failing to refund flights after Covid cancellations

British Airways Fines Over Covid Cancellations

British Airways has been fined US$1.1 million for failing to refund flights after they were cancelled during Covid.

The British Airways website apparently instructed passengers to call via phone to discuss refund options but it is almost impossible to reach anyone by phone at British Airways "Customer Service" as I have been personally aware since 2007.

Other misleading advice on the British Airways website led passengers to inadvertently apply for vouchers instead of a refund.

British Airways Sued Over Travel Vouchers

British Airways Sued Over Travel Vouchers

A British Airways passenger has successfully taken British Airways to court to obtain a cash refund after her flight was cancelled by the airline due to Covid restrictions.

During Covid, many airlines offered vouchers as compensation for cancelled flights but vouchers are often difficult to redeem and are useless to travellers who may have missed a specific event and no longer wish to fly.

Hopefully British Airways will now offer a cash back option without passengers having to take court action especially since they are now profitable again after the pandemic.
