I booked the wrong return date on my BA Flight

    Book on the Lufthansa site (flights operated by BMI) but a return (coming back, say 20 May) and a return (non stop) can be £274.

    Air Berlin (indirect though and to Stansted, but they offer connecting flights) from EURO179 on Sunday.

    Can you not use the 'change' facility through which BA will change the date on all European tickets for a fee of £30? That applies to all tickets bought directly through the BA website, but I'm not sure if there's a time limit before which it becomes invalid (a week perhaps?).

    I second the suggestion to come back easyJet instead. And next time try booking there first - I find they're almost always cheaper on the London-Berlin route.

    All of the BA flights on Sunday are horrendously full, only Y class seats left, so the 'charge' includes the cost of upgrading. You may wish to enquire about upgrading to Business at the same time, it might be cheaper surprisingly.

    and it says there is a flight from Berlin to London at £68.57.

    When you click on that price it does a check and resets at different prices and then tells you the £119 flights isnt available either.
