loloal Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Hi, Something weird happened, I have called BA like 2 weeks ago to know the price for postponing my return flight date. The price asked was too high so I gave up. Today I log on their website to choose my seat for my return flight, tomorrow. Surprise, the date had been postponed ! Either I'm lucky and got this for free due to some human error Either I'm not so lucky and they will want to make me pay for this change that I didn't ask. Do you know if such booking modifications are supposed to be paid immediately after you call BA ? Aren't they supposed to keep some proof that your are willing to pay for a change ? (Sound record or something) I double checked my bank account and they didn't take anything, and that's 2 weeks already. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Maybe the flight was overbooked so they did both you and themselves a favour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiu-Jitsu Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Often you pay at the desk. But if you did not request the change, you don't have to pay. Alternatively, a seat may have come free in the same class, that wasn't free at the time of your original request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xircal Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, out of curiousity, I went to the BA site to see what came up on their fee calculator and this is what I got.

loloal Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well once "logged" to my reservation, the only option displayed for "change booking" brought me to a page asking me to phone call ba. That phone call gave me a 600€ total fee offer ^^ which I declined. I guess the page you found doesn't apply to my specific tickets. I hope you guys are right about that was a good deal for them to let me change for free. I'm still surprised that I wasn't given the opportunity to validate that choice (and no email confirmation or anything). Did anyone ever make such a booking change (by phone with BA) and when was the money debited ? Did you receive a mail confirmation ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jip99 Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I changed a flight date last September online - no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevenl Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I would check with BA or you may end up with no flight on the original date and a very expensive ticket on the new date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
