Se sei “obbligato” ad andare a NY ti tieni quello che ti danno con tutti i disagi del caso. Se invece vai per sollazzo allora cancella e fatti rimborsare e ci vai un’altra volta. IMHO

Ciao ac143, se vuoi farti dare un'alternativa senti il call center.
Però non che voli sono rimasti su Bologna (o se ne cancelleranno altri).

No, altro volo da blq con differente orario. Credevo fosse quello il tuo problema, no?
EDIT: no ho controllato ed hanno cancellato quello di meta' giornata, non credo hai molte alternative: o 7.40am o rimborso. a rimetterlo non credo proprio esista l'opzione ad oggi ed anche in una situazione normale mettere un volo in vendita a meno di un mese dalla partenza vorrebbe dire operarlo vuoto.
Ultima modifica:
figurati, comunque prima di decidere vale sempre la pena fare una chiamata al call center.

IAG cancels planned dividend payment
IAG is withdrawing its proposal to pay a €0.17-per-share final dividend to investors, following the coronavirus shutdown.
The group will instead propose, at its annual shareholders' meeting, that all of its 2019 profit – save that already paid as an interim dividend – be added to voluntary reserves.
IAG's board is also delaying the shareholders' meeting from June until the end of September.
The move comes after trade union GMB indicated that IAG-owned British Airways was planning to furlough over 30,000 employees under the UK government's job-retention scheme.
BA would not be drawn on the details of the agreement, however, saying only that "talks continue".
IAG is cutting capacity by 75% in April and May, and BA has suspended flights at both London Gatwick and London City airports.

Addio G-CIVL. Si e' ritirato nel 'famoso' Cotswold Airport (GBA) di Kemble nel Gloucestershire.

British Airways Boeing 747 Heads To English Aircraft Graveyard
British Airways has ferried a Boeing 747 from London Heathrow to Kemble in Gloustershire. Simple Flying believes that the aircraft has been ferried to the aircraft graveyard for end of life services.
Recently, we’ve seen a wave of British Airways ferry flights as the airline looks to store its grounded aircraft. This included five Boeing 747s being ferried to an aircraft graveyard in Spain a few weeks back. While we understand that those aircraft are not being retired, it seems as though there is a different fate in mind for G-CIVL.
One last flight?
Recently, we have seen many of British Airways’ retired aircraft making their final flight to St Athan in Wales. However, the airline has also been known to scrap aircraft at Cotswold Airport in Kemble. One British Airways Boeing 747 flew here today, potentially for end of life services.
G-CIVL is a 23.1-year-old Boeing 747 according to Planespotters. The website indicated that it was withdrawn from use on the 26th of March 2020. Indeed, according to FlightRadar24.com, the aircraft last flew with passengers from Cape Town on the 25th of March 2020.
However, today the aircraft made a short hop to Cotswold Airport in Kemble. The aircraft departed Heathrow at 11:48, landing in Kemble at 12:09, just 20 minutes later. The flight was so short that the aircraft only reached a height of 6,000 feet.
While the fate of G-CIVL hasn’t been confirmed, Simple Flying believes that the aircraft has been retired. British Airways has previously sent Boeing 747s to Kemble to be decommissioned. Additionally, the airport is home to Air Salvage International, who describe themselves as “A world leader in aircraft disassembly – serving the global aviation industry”. Of course, it is possible that these aircraft could have traveled to Kemble for long term storage.
More to come?
While again unconfirmed, sources told Simple Flying that they believe four more Boeing 747 aircraft will be retired from the BA fleet this week. These are:
- G-CIVJ – Last flight: 5th April 2020;
- G-CIVK – Last flight: 18th March 2020;
- G-CIVN – Last flight: 25th March 2020;
- G-CIVH – Last flight 17th March 2020.
British Airways had already been due to retire its fleet of Boeing 747s across the next few years, so it wouldn’t come as a surprise if the aircraft doesn’t fly again. Many airlines as beginning to state that they expect demand to take years to return. This has even led industry giant Lufthansa to immediately retire some Boeing 747s.
Given that the Boeing 747s were already on the way out, if British Airways finds that it doesn’t need so much capacity over the coming years, these aircraft would be an obvious candidate for early retirement. Of course, one way or another we will eventually find out if they don’t fly again.

Notizia di ieri, il CMA (l'autorita' garante della concorrenza e del mercato) ha annunciato che sia BA che AA hanno accettato di cedere degli slot a LHR e LGW per venire incontro a risolvere problemi di concorrenza su determinate rotte fra UK e US create dall'Atlantic Joint Business Agreement fra AA, IAG e Finnair.
Le rotte in questione sono BOS, ORD, DFW, MIA e PHL.
Nel dettaglio si evince che BA/AA dovranno cedere una coppia di slot su ciascuna delle rotte in questione. Su DFW e PHL potranno continuare ad operare un minimo di voli fino a quando un altro vettore non subentri.

BA CityFlyer looks to axe Edinburgh base and cut pilot numbers
British Airways’ CityFlyer division is looking at ending its Edinburgh-based operations and cutting 72 pilots as part of cutbacks being introduced in response to the coronavirus crisis.
CityFlyer primarily operates out of London City and Edinburgh, using a fleet of Embraer 190s and 170s.
The airline has formally notified cockpit union BALPA that 72 potential pilot redundancies out of 248 are being proposed during CityFlyer’s re-organisation.
Most of these would take place at the Edinburgh base.
“In addition [CityFlyer] warned that its whole future remained uncertain as British Airways, its parent company, was still reviewing its own future,” says the union.
BALPA adds that it will “fight for every job” in CityFlyer at London City and Edinburgh. General secretary Brian Strutton described the proposed cuts as “yet more shocking and devastating news”.
British Airways parent IAG’s chief executive, Willie Walsh, told a UK parliamentary transport committee on 11 May that London City had been facing particular difficulties during the crisis.
The downtown airport shut to all commercial operations on 25 March and remains closed.
“I think [the shutdown] clearly points to the specific customer segment that supports London City,” Walsh told the committee.
“And I think that airport is one that will be challenged greatly as we go through this, and as we come out of this.”
He would not be drawn at the time on the future of BA’s London City operation, stating only that this would form part of a consultation with elected workers’ representatives.
Walsh told the committee that he felt BA still had prospects at London Gatwick, despite reducing flight activity at the airport.
The airline had previously indicated that it would place Boeing 737 Max jets at Gatwick following an initial agreement to acquire 200 of the type – but the order has yet to be firmed and, given the crisis, its future is unclear.
“I do see a future for BA at Gatwick,” said Walsh. “I like Gatwick. It think Gatwick is a better airport than Heathrow in many ways.
“I think it’s better run. I think the management team are more commercial. I think the customer base is one that we’d want to serve. The challenge we face at the moment is that we’ve had to do what is right, in the environment that exists.
“But I’d like to think that BA will be operating at Gatwick in the future.” Cirium

I parlamentari inglesi stanno chiedendo al ministro dell'aviazione di forzare BA a cedere slot a LHR visti i licenziamenti in atto. Mi sembra abbastanza tutto sommato giustificato.
Parliamentarians grasp at BA slots as carrier plans job cuts
Parliamentarians have urged the UK aviation minister to explore whether pressure can be put on British Airways’ lucrative slots at London Heathrow to deter the carrier from measures to shed thousands of jobs.
Under-secretary of state for transport Kelly Tolhurst, who has responsibility for aviation, was even asked if the government could examine whether BA could be brought back under public ownership.
But Tolhurst stressed, during the 3 June debate about coronavirus and the impact on aviation, that BA’s actions amount to a “commercial decision”.
Several members of parliament expressed concern that BA and other carriers were taking advantage of government financial support to preserve employment while simultaneously arranging to cut jobs.
“These are commercial decisions that I regret,” said Tolhurst, “particularly from companies that benefit from the job-retention scheme, which was not designed for taxpayers to fund the wages of employees only for those companies to put the same staff on notice of redundancy during the furlough period.”
Opposition Labour party member Zarah Sultana was among those asking whether the government was prepared to withdraw BA’s airport slots in response.
But she also queried whether the minister would commit to “exploring the option to bring the company back under public control”.
Tolhurst did not respond specifically to the ownership question, or even clarify whether the government could realistically pursue such a course, simply stating that it would “look at all the options we, as a government, have to make use of”.
Conservative party member Huw Merriman asked whether the government would ask the Civil Aviation Authority to “undertake an urgent review” of slot allocation at Heathrow, and examine whether slots can be transferred from “downsizing” companies and handed to airlines that want to expand.
But while Tolhurst said Merriman was “right” to raise the slots query, she pointed out: “The government are currently legally prevented from intervening in the slots-allocation process.”
She stated that the government wants slots to be “used as effectively as possible” and to ensure that the slot-allocation process “encourages competition and provides connectivity”.
“That is something I will be looking at,” she said.
BA disclosed in April that it was considering a restructuring programme which could result in 12,000 redundancies.
But the Unite union has accused BA of trying to “fire and rehire” its workforce on different terms, and has demanded a government review of the airline’s slots.
BA has pointed out that it expects a post-crisis recovery to last year’s levels of passenger demand will take “several years”, prompting the decision to implement a restructuring and redundancy programme.

A me sembra una cazzata. E non lo dico per difendere BA.
Sia BA che Virgin che Easyjet stanno tagliando gente. La regola use-it-or-lose-it e' stata sospesa. Se vale per uno, che valga per tutti.
Se proprio vogliono supportare i dipendenti BA, che rendano illegale licenziare mentre si e' on furlough, oppure elimino per legge gli share buy-backs... parlare di slot e compagnia cantante e' uno spreco di tempo per il parlamento.

E' palese che BA ha rotto gli zebedei a molte persone anche ad alti livelli.
La minaccia di forzare la cessione di slot a Heathrow la ritengo invece intelligente perche' teoricamente i 'subentranti' potrebbero garantire livelli occupazionali (crew, ground, sales, maintenance, indotto ecc.) che invece BA sta gettando alle ortiche seppur conservando questi preziosissimi slot senza fare una emerita cippa.
Grandfather rights...si, ma fino a un certo punto.
