      I am an Executive Silver member of British Airways (********). My wife and I had booked and traveled on Sept 11, 2022 returning from *******, ***** (***) to *********** (***) via *************** (***) on a Business class ticket. Our record locator # is ******. As the flight from ******* to ****** (BA36) was delayed and we were certain to miss our connecting flight (BA193), British Airways automatically rebooked us on another flight from ****** to ***. Only after we boarded the flight, we realized that we were assigned seats in Economy instead of Business class. Upon inquiry with customer relations after we reached ***, we were asked to submit a claim to request a refund of the fare difference. We submitted a claim online on Sept 12, 2022 on BA website and received a confirmation email with case Reference # ********. It has been almost FIVE months since the claim was submitted and it is yet unresolved. Many times that I have tried to follow up with BA Customer relations without any progress. Recently, even the phone #s provided for Customer relations ************* or ************) gives a message that this line is closed and suggests we request status online. I have done this multiple times as well without any call back or email update on the status of the claim. The experience has been extremely frustrating and would like this to be resolved at the earliest by refunding the fare difference. I have waited long enough and can not believe that it takes this long for settling a refund claim totally due to an error on the part of the airlines that has not provided a simple update on the claim to this date via an email or phone call. This is unacceptable to me as a customer. Thanks *********************

      Hello, My British Airways case reference is:********* I have complaint asking for my money back about six times already and BA doesn't want to hear me and roll the case to CHEAPOAIR that's a ghost service somewhere in the world.I went vacation to ****** in October 2022 I paid for a round ticket, however, when I was in ******** I had an issue here in my house in Bklyn and I had to come earlier so I email British Airways and no one answered but instead of them someone else answered my email that was CheapOair ghost company I told the agent that I wanted to change my return ticket for an early day he said OK and changed it.When I got home I realized that CheapOair sold me a brand new ticket so I email BA and they gave me the round around saying that ********* was the one who charged me and they didn't. The ***** NEW TICKET cost was $599.63 and I want BA to refund me. BELOW YOU WILL FIND MY ROUND TICKET, however, when I got the new ticket this CheapOair didn't send me a copy of it because unfortunately I had very little internet service and I couldn't print so they said just show your passport at the counter and that's all I did it and I got the ticket at the airport. If is needed it I have the Discover Card statement in where it shows the price I was charged. Thanks

      The following email was sent to ********************** on 16Feb23:

      Dear ***************

      Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau.  A copy of your correspondence has been sent to Customer Relations and we have been asked to respond to you directly.

      I have reviewed your travel record ****** and see that your purchased your ticket through CheapOair for travel to ******** so your contract of sale was with them. I see you were in touch with our call center inquiring about changing your return date of 13 November and were advised to call your agent. 

      When you purchase a ticket from a travel agent, they are in control of your booking and tickets any changes to your travel must be done by them as they need to reissue your ticket.

      I see on 03 November, CheapOair cancelled your 13 November date of travel back from ******** and you were rebooked for travel on 05 November.  You were not charged for a new ticket, you were rebooked on the same travel record ******, in the higher selling inventory of World Traveller which is what was available so the difference in fare you paid is correct. 

      There is no set fee of $100 on international tickets for changes to your travel dates. A passenger is charged for changes per the fare rules of the ticket you purchase whether it's with the airline directly or a travel agent. 

      For any additional details on your rebooking please contact CheapOair as they were the issuing agent of your ticket.

      Thank you for getting in touch and for giving me the opportunity to respond. We hope to welcome you on board one of our flights again soon. 

      Best regards

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

      1) I have already contacted CHEAPOAIR several times and this ticket call center does not exist in US it's located somewhere in *****.

      2) CHEAPOAIR charged me  for a new ticket because that was asked by British Airways.

      3) CHEAPOAIR only charged me for their service $49 dollars.

      5) British Airways told CheapOair to charge me $550 dollars and that's the money that B.A kept for the new ticket.

      6) From the very beginning British Airways blamed CheapOair for the charges of $599.63 but B.A never admitted that they were paid for my ticket otherwise I wouldn't flown.

       

      I attached my Discover statement for you to see, and I want my money back I don't like double tip airlines. I am willing to pay the difference but I am not willing to let a company robbed me of my money.

       

      Thanks

      The following email was sent to ********************** on 20Mar23:

      Dear ***************

      Thank you for coming back to me about the change fee amount you paid. 

      As I explained in my previous email, you need to look at your contract with Cheapoair regarding the terms and conditions of the fare you purchased for our flights.  Your return was originally for 13 November and was booked in S and O inventory, and your original fare paid for all flights outbound and return not including taxes was USD 227.78.  

      You were rebooked in K inventory on 03 November when you called to make the change to travel on 05 November.  You were charged a penalty change fee, difference in fare from your original booking to the new one for your flights from ******** to **************** to ********, ***, and any difference in taxes and whatever Cheapoair's service fee is.  British Airways did not rebook and reissue your ticket Cheapoair did.  

      I'm unaware of the set amount of $100 for changes on international bookings. Passengers are charged according to the fare rules of the ticket they purchased.  You were charged correctly so there is no refund due. If you would like a breakdown of your charges, please contact Cheapoair.  

      Thank you for coming back to me about this.  We hope to welcome you on board one of our flights again soon.

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

       1) Cheapoair didn't provide me with any contract whatsoever.

      2) Unless British Airways location is in Mars the rest of us live on earth and understand words -I said before CHEAPOAIR charged me for it services $49.99 dollars.

      3) British airways CHARGES were $550.00 dollars so since when an airlines charges a brand new ticket for an early return?? I need to know so I'll take precautions and won't buy a ticket the rest of my life from British airways.

      4) British airways must give me that money back because I live in ******* and here we don't robe passenger when they need to make an early return.

      5) British airways MUST stop blaming Cheapoair for what I say above and must admit what the charges were for me to come back.

       

      To BBB I have already submitted my discover card statement in where I am disputing the charges for my early fly return. Thank you for your efforts

      I traveled from ***** ***** to the ******** on December 29 2022 I arrived in ** December 31, 2022. My bag did not arrive with me. I filed a claim at the airport and left and waited for British airways to communicate with me. While I waited I fell sick and was in the hospital for some days. While I was in the hospital my bag arrived 8 days later. When I was released I was on bed rest at home and could not prioritize the bag. When I opened the bag its had been completely mixed around on the inside and items were missing. I filed a claim and my claim was denied because it was outside of 7 days. so they can deliver your lost bag after 8 days or maybe more but if you don't file a claim up to 7 days after receiving the bag you are out of luck if things are missing. Keep in mind when my bag was delivered was in the hospital for nearly a week. The was on the way I still have to fly back and I don't want to I never want to fly British again.

However, the passengers were put on economy coach class (without the paid seats as well) from *****-******, instead of the premium economy class. Also at Madrid, passengers were denied boarding to **** by ***** Airways for wrong reasons, leading to my family stranded in ****** airport for the whole day, which resulted in us buying additional booking to fly to ******. Upon reaching ******, British airways ***************** rebooked our original booking(******) to fly us from ****** to *********,*****, but on economy coach class, instead of paid premium economy.

      BRITISH AIR BOOKING NUMBER: ****** I recently made British Air reservation on January 16, 2023 for travel dates March 18, 2023 returning on March 25, 2023 for following passengers. 1) **************, 2) *************************, 3) *************************. When I realized that there was a typo in *******'s name with an extra letter, I called British Air on January 17th -- before 24 hours from the original booking and before the actual e tickets were issued. I was told that my ticket class did not allow any changes and that I need to rebook the trip. I was on the phone about an hour while the agent (very nice) tried to find other flights as my original itinerary was no longer available. The agent told me that he got authorization from his manager to correct the name (deleting one letter) for $325 and I can keep the original itinerary. It was late at night and I had spent many hours finding this flight including the hour I spent with the agent and I agreed to the charge as I was beyond exhausted and frustrated at that time. I also did not want to spoil this surprise birthday trip for our son. I understand you have your policies, and I made the typo. But it seems beyond "reasonable" for British Air to charge $325 to take out one letter to correct the name, especially when the tickets were not yet issued.I am appealing to your sense of "doing the right thing" and "reasonable" business practice to refund the $325 to me. Thanks in advance for your help and let me know if you need additional information.*************************

      My wife and I booked airfare with British Air from ******* to *******. On June 19th , 2022, British Airways canceled our flight from ***** ******* to *************** without notice resulting in a cascading effect in which we missed our subsequent flights back to the States. British Airway offered ** an alternative flight that would incur an 18 hour layover in ****** pushing our return date home back two days. This simply would not work with our schedule. Our travel agent found another British Airways flight home on the 20th, but we incurred approximately $1100 in additional airfare expense not to mention another night in a hotel and meals. I have contacted British Airways repeatedly and have filled out a complaint form and compensation form. I attached all supporting documents to my claim. That was in October, and I have yet to receive any response from British Air other than a complaint record number. It was out of our control that BA canceled our flight without adequate notice or a acceptable new flight resolution.

      Dear ***************

      An update from British Airways
      Thank you for contacting the Better Business Bureau about your flights from ***** to *******, via *************** in June. I'm sorry to hear your flight from Split was cancelled and we were unable to offer a suitable alternative for you. Please also accept my apologies for the time taken to get back to you about this.
      Ive checked the details of your journey and Im pleased to advise youre entitled to compensation for the cancellation of your flight BA0527 on 19 June 2022. The distance of your disrupted journey was over 3,500km and this has been calculated in accordance with ** legislation. This means youre entitled to ****** each in compensation.

      The total amount of compensation youre due is ******** as there are two passengers included in your claim. Ive raised a bank transfer for this amount in your local currency, which will be paid directly to you. This may take up to 21 days.
      I appreciate you were unhappy with the rebooked flights British Airways offered and therefore, your travel agent rebooked an alternative, which cost around $1,100.00. As British Airways would always rebook passengers free of charge, we would be unable to cover this cost for you and I'm sorry to disappoint you. You can make this claim through your travel insurance company and if you need any documentation to help support your claim, please let me know.
      You can also request a refund of your unused flights from your travel agent. Hopefully they can arrange this for you.  
      Thanks again for getting in touch about this. If I can help with anything else please let me know. We look forward to welcoming you and **************** on board again in the future.

On 6-6-22 a baggage claim - EDIBA ***** - was filed with British Airways for Bag 1- tag number AC ********** and Bag 2 - tag number AC **********. A hotel in ********* was given as the delivery address. On 6-7-22 we updated the delivery address on the British Airways baggage claim app to a hotel in York. On 6-9-22 we received a text message saying Bag 1 was at *********. On 6-9-22 we called the British Airways baggage claim and requested that the bag be delivered to the ******** *********** in ****** where we would be staying June 10 & 11. Bag was not delivered so the evening of 6-11-22 we updated the delivery address to our home address using the British Airway app. In the afternoon of 6-12-22 we received a text message attempting to deliver bag to the ******** ***********. We called British Airways, explained we had checked out of the hotel & requested that the bag be sent to our home in **********. We were told that the courier would be contacted and the bag taken back to **************. On 6-13-22, the ******** *********** called saying the bag was there. We called British Airways and was told that the bag would be picked up from the hotel and delivered to **********. We arrived back home in ********** on 6-15-22 and both bags were still missing. On 6-24-22, Bag 2 - tag number AC ********** - was delivered to our home.In an attempt to get updated info on Bag 1, tag number AC **********, every couple of days I would check British Airways baggage claim website, call British Airways and the hotel in ******. Each time their system said that both bags were delivered and the claim reopened once I explained the situation. On 7-9-22, the BA representative issued a new baggage claim number - EDIBA ***** - in order to correct the system. The representative suggested that we have the hotel ship the bag to us and file a claim for the cost of shipping. On 7-20-22, the bag was still at the hotel so we made arrangements for it to be shipped. It arrived on 8-1-22.Since filing the claim to recover shipping cost, Ive called and emailed British Airways multiple times. I received an email requesting the book reference number which was sent to them on 10-7-22. At first I was directed to the Customer Relations Team now that number directs you to contact BA via website. Regular **************** Representatives that Ive talked to said that an email would be sent to the baggage refund team.

I have not received any other communications from British Airways.

      I tried to use an e-voucher to book a vacation package. I was told I had to pay $300 deposit with my credit card first and would receive a refund for the e-voucher. I never receive the refund and I was by another agent the e-voucher is non-refundable. I wouldn't never paid the $300 deposit with my credit card if I could not receive a refund for the e-voucher. I was "trick" by the agent from him telling in on the phone and in an email that if I pay the $300 deposit, I would receive a refund for the e-voucher. I would like a refund for the $300 deposit.
