What if my flight is cancelled due to Corona?
« on: March 04, 2020, 04:08:59 PM »
I am mid itinerary on an ANA award, with a TLV-ZRH-LAX flight remaining. Being that Israel just banned visitors from Zrh, it's looking very possible that my flight will be cancelled. Is ANA obligated to re-route me?

That's not my concern. The concern is that since people originating in Switzerland can't enter Israel, they will just cancel the zrh-tlv flights. Then what happens?

I had to hold for ANA about 2 hours.
If they're open 24 hours, the wait is much shorter in middle of the night.

British Airways ticket booked through Travelocity. Iberia leg has been cancelled. Who should I call to reroute?  I received the notice from Iberia, Travelocity doesn't show any changes yet.

Did you commence travel already?

No. Travel starts 3/26. The first leg has been cancelled and has been dropped completely on Iberia's website.

You’ll need to call the OTA.

Anyone got Iberia flights canceled? Are they rebooking with LY/BA or just canceling? Thinking of booking for April but am afraid they may cancel.

UPDATE. Rebooked on BA thru LHR. I had to change the date due to lack of availability in my fare class. BA would not put me in Premium even for the TLV-LHR leg. Travelocity rep very pleasant and worked with BA while I was on hold. Took over an hour!
