BRITISH AIRWAYS, with war clouds looming, has introduced a new short term policy to allow all customers to change their ticket reservation free of charge on long haul economy tickets. For the next month all new long haul flight bookings on restricted tickets in economy and premium economy cabins can be altered for destination, dates or class of travel. The airline hopes to reduce the degree of uncertainty in the marketplace which makes it difficult for people to decide when and where to travel but it is just possible that the new policy will become the standard way of booking, with perhaps a small chargeable fee when a customer”s schedule is changed, as with the budget airlines. Tickets remain non-refundable. Cancellations and full refunds are not allowed. http://www.ba.com
