BRITISH AIRWAYS PASSENGER RIGHTS

CANCELLATION

If the booking is canceled after the contract has come into force, the following applies:
In the case of package holiday bookings for which an inclusive price has been paid, the associated cancellation charges will be disclosed at the time of booking. For flights that are not booked as part of a package holiday (and are therefore calculated independently), the cancellation of the flight ticket will be made in accordance with the applicable Conditions of Carriage and applicable Ticket Conditions and Fare Rules. Please note that certain ticket types are non-refundable and non-changeable.

Cancellations by the customer are subject to cancellation fees. Our standard cancellation charges are set at the time of booking. The percentages mentioned for the change and cancellation fees refer to the prices. If a discount has been granted for the booking of hotel accommodation, car rental, transfers or an activity in connection with a flight and the flight is then cancelled, the discount will no longer apply 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 contractors and administrative costs. They are to be paid immediately.

FLIGHT DELAY COMPENSATION

If a flight is delayed by 5 hours or more, there is a refund for the portions of the journey that were not flown. If your arrival at your final destination is delayed by more than 3 hours, provided that this delay is due to causes within our control (as opposed to extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided with all reasonable measures), a claim for Compensation.

FLIGHT CANCELLATION COMPENSATION

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 him. If the flight cannot be taken, the booking can be canceled and a refund (tax included) can be obtained in the form of the original payment method. If the booking includes other British Airways flights that are not cancelled, the passenger can change those flights as well.
