Good old BA are striking again, Bank holiday and half term included.
Annoying thing is that I have flights booked with American Airlines from Manchester to Heathrow and then on to Chicago. Trouble is that AA are using a BA flight to get us to Heathrow, so surely they are contractually obliged to get us to Heathrow as I didn't book a BA flight and I paid my money to AA.
-
Yeap, your contract then is with AA, where that leaves you aI don't know.
-
Yeah, you should be ok, at the worst you might have to make your own way to Heathrow and then claim the costs back from AA who in return will claim it back from BA.
-
Just drive to heathrow - its easy to get to!
you are in a much better position then many others...
-
Call AA. You may well find yourself stuck at Heathrow if you turn up unannounced expecting boarding
passes. There are strict rules regarding where you can board multi-flight journeys. If you miss a leg
of a journey, you forfeit all other legs.

ANd apparently if costs 390 to park at heathrow.
our new government has already canned the new runway at heathrow :D and about time too. :D
Anyhoo, ring AA and ask for advice, or check their website for FAQ

£92 for 19 days on airport for parking.

Well AA are washing their hands of the situation, they say if my flight with BA is cancelled they will refund me that part but it is up to me to find a way to Heathrow under my own steam. Last time I fly with this bunch of T**ts :x :x :x :x

I can see all of this crap + the volcano related issues putting people of travelling abroad in future.
-
Depending upon how much luggage you're taking don't forget that some places such as FlyBE will do reasonably priced internal flights, Leeds to Soton for example is about £50 including taxes ...
Should you be able to get a flight into heathrow, or even just nearby it'd likely be a lot cheaper and easier for you.

5. An air carrier issuing a ticket for carriage over the lines of another air carrier does so only as its Agent.
New one on me. Seems that code-sharing ain't worth anything.

Yep but until it is officially cancelled by BA then AA will not allow a cancellation or refund. They are going to let me know one way or the other on the 1st of June.

Charming. Does that give you enough time to make alternative arrangements?

Yes mate, plenty of time as I can cancel my Manchester Airport parking with 48 hours notice and there are plenty of parking and hotel packages available at Heathrow. Just didn't fancy driving down to Heathrow but if that's the only way then I"ll have to do it.
