Sounds fair to me.
Could even be a realistic price if they're grounded again.
It'll cover the care costs.0 -
Realistic? lol

It makes sense to me also. Their priority is to get stranded passengers home.

I agree it sounds like a good idea, the IT system is not made to cope with this scenario that BA needs to reserve seats for later booking, and due to the scale of passenger needing to be moved its not like they can just slot people in, the high prices are intentional to allow BA to sort out transfer without people booking flights.Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
