BA milage ticket cancellation
« on: June 17, 2022, 08:17:22 PM »
Just tried to cancel a ticket for sunday (more than 24 hrs before departure) but the online option seemed only allow getting a voucher?  I booked on June 10th.  Also there is no email or message indicating cancellation is successful.  What's going on?  THanks.

well never had problem cancelling with BA before.  Next time I will be more careful.  Singapore is Sat so they are closed.

I was able to cancel within the 24 hr period after argued with CSR.  After he talked to the supervisor they allowed me to cancel and deposit the miles.
