    In case anyone is interested..
    BA had asked him to pay £180 for moving to a new hotel with similar facilities. Yesterday they offered him an upgraded hotel for the same price but he managed to negotiate BA down to £50 for the upgraded hotel.
    He seems happy with the result.


    Thank you to those that replied.
    No. 5 in the 'Save 12k for 2021' thread.

    Thanks for returning to update the thread.

    An alternative hotel of the same standard being offered without additional charge would be common practice - which it seems was the case.

    Selecting another more expensive hotel and being asked to pay the difference - fairly normal.

    BAH seem to do as expected.

    But they didn't - they wanted to charge £180 extra for hotel similar facilities?

    "similar facilities" doesn't always equal a hotel of a similar standard, which is what the tour operator would be obligated to offer as an alternative.
