Oneworld Classic Flight Reward Discussion - The Definitive Thread

You may have to push, but it should be possible, depending on what alternatives are available (and maybe how soon the flight is??).
December last year BA cancelled my SFO-LHR the day before. All the OW options offered were indirect and after a while on the phone I was able to get onto Virgin Atlantic direct. Don't know how much the time crunch impacted, but it's worth a crack. (Even got the points and SCs!!)

But were you on a OWA flight or a paid flight?

And scored the SCs and points. Wow. Good going.

Unfortunately we're not under airport IRROPS situation, this is a schedule change cancellation about 2months out.

Under airport irrops I'm aware i can push for a lot more as the ticket is mow unser airport control and have indeed pushed for completely different routing last year back from NA.

Airport Irrops are completely different scenarios. Sometimes if you're flexible they're a blessing in disguise.

I guess there's a point in booking award space now knowing I won't use it on those date, however it should be released for someone else to book it when I make my changes? .

There is no guarantee the award space you are holding will be released for anyone else. It’s probably only a slim chance, if any, that it will.
