British Airways issues new advice for people with flights booked in June, July, August or September

Yesterday, easyJet updated customers with information surrounding flights booked for summer 2020.

As things currently stand, easyJet says it intends for holidays in June, July and August to go ahead.

The airline says that cancellations are being evaluated daily, and if your flight does get cancelled, you’ll be notified at least seven days in advance.

Now British Airways has provided an update to anybody who has a flight booked in June, July, August or September.

Here's British Airways' latest advice about what to do if you have a flight or holiday booked this summer, according to the Mirror.

Travellers whose flight has already been cancelled or are due to travel between now and July 31st can claim a voucher to the value of their booking.

If you would like a cash refund, you have to call the airline on  0800 727 800 (within the UK only).

If your booking was made from 3 March until 31 May 2020, with a departure date up to 31 December 2020, you can change your dates or destination.

You can check updates regarding your flight on the BA website.

When will UK flights resume? The very latest information

BA has a Book With Confidence policy which passengers are directed to if they ask about their flight - but the web page is unclear about what is going on further than July 31.

A spokesman for British Airways said: "We recognise the uncertainty that coronavirus may be causing.

"This situation will remain under review and we will continue to provide coronavirus travel and service updates.

"We will do everything we can to help customers affected. We continue to liaise closely with global health authorities and Government agencies on behalf of our customers."

The FCO has advised against foreign travel for the foreseeable future, and given no indication as to when it will be considered safe for Brits to venture abroad again.
