"I was on a 19:15 flight to Paris, for which I was there several hours early, and they didn't announce the cancellation until the very last moment when it was supposed to board.Did anyone else have a similar experience?
We had to reclaim baggage, go back through immigration, and then we directed to a long queue where we continued to stand for several more hours.
A few hours after BA customer service agents came out with some bullshit paperwork and informed us that the airport would be closing and they wouldn't be able to help people rebook/accommodate them in hotels for the evening because there were too many people.
On this paperwork we were given a phone number to call which was a) busy b) you had to pay to call if you were like us had an international sim card, and a second phone number was only operable during regular business hours (it was nearing 10pm in the evening by this point).
Additionally, this paperwork stated that the passengers had to pay for the rebooking, hotel stay, and any other expenses but that BA would "CONSIDER reimbursing" if we saved the receipts and sent them a letter by mail.
No one had any clue when this reimbursement would take place.
For people with hefty travel plans like myself and my partner, this was completely unreasonable and out of budget."
Note, BA were asked to provide a response/comment to the above. However, as at the time of posting this, no response or answer has been forthcoming.
