3. British Airways Passenger Rights

Cancellation

If the booking is cancelled after the contract has come into force, the following applies:
For package tour bookings for which an inclusive price has been paid, the associated cancellation fees will be announced at the time of booking. For flights not booked as part of a package tour (and therefore charged independently), the flight ticket will be cancelled in accordance with the applicable conditions of carriage and applicable ticket conditions and fare regulations. Please note that certain ticket types are non-refundable and non-changeable.

Cancellation fees will be charged for cancellations by the customer. Our standard cancellation fees are set at the time of booking. The percentages quoted for amendment and cancellation fees refer to the prices. If a discount was granted for booking hotel accommodation, a rental car, transfers or an activity in conjunction with a flight, and the flight is then cancelled, the discount will no longer be valid and the discount amount will be charged to the customer.

The cancellation fees are charged by us to cover the costs imposed on us by our contractual partners, as well as administrative costs. They are payable immediately.

Compensation for Flight Delays

For a flight delayed by 5 hours or more, a refund will be given for the unflown sectors of the journey. If you arrive at your final destination more than 3 hours late, and this delay is due to causes within our control (as opposed to extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided by taking all reasonable measures), you will be entitled to compensation.

Compensation for Flight Cancellations

Passengers will be rebooked on a later British Airways flight at no additional charge (subject to availability). In most cases, the flight will be automatically rebooked. The passenger can change this if the date does not suit. If the flight cannot be taken, the booking can be cancelled and a refund (incl. taxes) received in the original form of payment. If the booking also includes other British Airways flights that are not cancelled, the passenger can also change these flights.

Baggage Damage/Loss

All lost or forgotten items of luggage found on board the aircraft will be handed over to the lost and found office at the arrival airport. Items found at the airport or in the British Airways Lounge will be handed over to ground handling staff. A missing baggage report number can be used to log into the baggage tracing system.
