Latest News from BA

As you may be aware, the cabin crew branch of the Transport and General Workers' Union (T&G) has notified British Airways today (Wednesday January 24) that it has decided to cancel the first day of its planned strike (Monday January 29).

Strikes are still scheduled to take place on Tuesday January 30 and Wednesday January 31 followed by 72-hour walk-outs beginning on Monday February 5 and Monday February 12.

We would like to assure you that we remain committed to the pursuit of a negotiated settlement.

If the T&G does not call off the rest of its strikes for next week we will announce tomorrow (Thursday January 25) details of our flight schedule for the first period of action. We will update you with this information as soon as it is available.

We understand that this is an uncertain time for our customers. We would like to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to make sure that disruption is minimised in the event of any strike action.

Flights operated by our subsidiary, BA Connect, franchise partners BMED, GB Airways, SunAir and Comair as well as flights operated by our codeshare partners with a BA flight code and flights between Manchester and New York JFK are unaffected by any potential strike action (* for more information please go to the bottom of the email).

If you are due to travel between January 29 and February 16 we understand that you may wish to change your plans. As a result, we have introduced a policy that enables you to rebook flights for a different date.

If you are currently holding a booking for a flight departing on Tuesday January 30 or Wednesday January 31 and wish to gain a refund you should contact us. If you are in the UK you can call us on 0800 727 800 (freephone). If you are calling from outside the UK, please click here to find contact details for your local British Airways office

Alternatively, if your booking was made through a travel agent, you should contact them directly.

In the event of strike action we will publish a comprehensive policy that will cover re-booking, re-routing and refund options if flights are cancelled.
