I was browsing the BA site yesterday and did a price search for an EU trip later in the year. I noticed that BA appears to be offering a flexible ticket for no additional charge provided that I book it by March 16th. I imagine that this is to encourage us to risk a booking which we could change/postpone if , for example, we found that a family member had Corona and so we suddenly  had to self isolate. Has anyone noticed this with any other airlines? I had turned to BA because Easyjet's deal for my dates was expensive and they didn't appear to have any special flexible offer. Given the drop in air bookings, it does seem that this could work to BA's advantage. I am going to look at it in a bit more detail in case there are any catches/loopholes.
