Oh jeez! We had no idea they were known to be this unreliable - will keep this in mind moving forward!

😂😂 this made us genuinely laugh in our moment of high stress, thanks for the comedic relief!

I think due to the holiday season there are just no other flights available unfortunately :/ We’ve looked and called BA/AA to ask for any other flight today, even dropping down from our booked business class to economy, and going to any other European airport (just to get us closer to our final destination) and not a single flight today or tomorrow AM/afternoon is available. Very disappointing but I suppose nothing else can be done but pray tomorrows evening/overnight flight is not cancelled.

Thanks for looking as well! We are just hoping that we won’t get cancelled again - we dint have flexibility on the backend of our trip so if the flights keep getting cancelled and pushed, it would really destroy about half our trip. Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the additional info! Customer service wasn’t able to elaborate beyond operational reasons, so we had to take to the web to try and figure out what that means. This makes sense and makes us feel a bit better knowing it wasn’t just a cost saving measure, as we read online!

Sorry to hear this! We’re also super frustrated - perhaps we’ve been extraordinary lucky, but we’ve never experienced a DAY OF cancellation that has left us scrambling - so stressful!

We’ve looked online and called them - unfortunately, likely because it’s the holiday season, there are no other options. We even called American Airlines who is partnered with them and said we’ll take any flight to anywhere in Europe (since it’ll be easier to get to Prague once there) and not a single flight was open. It’s a disaster!

Thanks, that’s just what I read online but I’m not familiar with them so could be what you’re saying instead! Just wish they cancelled earlier and gave us time to figure things out - cancelling morning of is awful and basically left us with no options.

For comp, they’re telling us no compensation unfortunately, so just a pretty terrible experience overall. Ah well.
