My flight for Tour 4 was cancelled this morning. Phoned BA this afternoon, initially going through the options on the number quoted in the email but then got cut off. I then tried the same number with no options pressed and got through to a friendly lady after about 10 mins. Refund being processed now, but could take a few weeks to a month. Very painless, let's hope the refund hits my account in a timely manner too.
You should be entitled to a refund if one of the legs has been cancelled. BA are an atrocious company so you might have to fight for it, but don't let them fob you off!
My flights for Tour 4 are still standing, can't wait for the fun and games dealing with that in a few weeks (also BA).
Only forecasting staff left in my office. To be honest I'm glad, I couldn't deal with being stuck in my flat for an indefinite period. Will change if any of us become ill though.
Went to Tesco before work this morning, no problems at all. Probably busier than it would usually be at 7am but shelves were well stocked, if not full.
I suspect it is very much independent of the ban. That is, even if the ban was lifted the govt would advise against travel like they have done with Spain and Italy.
But we still have freedom of movement with those Schengen countries, and we're not faring any better than the rest of Europe as a whole. Just an odd omission really.
