Cancel my return flight without advising me or giving me my money back? Background, My child is spending the rest of the summer in the UK with family and I would return to Europe alone for work. As the system doesn't let you book an individual One way ticket for a minor and a return for an adult I booked us both singles. I then went back into system to book my own adult single back to Europe. Predictably the one way fare from UK to Europe was 3 times the price of a return flight booked Europe-UK-Europe so I opted for the latter intending to use only the return sector. So essentially I paid for 2 outbound flights for myself and one return. Checked into our flight, did said journey last night. This morning I go to check into my return flight and BA have cancelled it. I then have to pay 480gbp for a new ticket for a one hour flight that I already purchased a seat for! Still with me?! AIBU to think that airlines are being unethical to not allow you to use just part of the ticket I have paid for, why do they care? You would never find this policy on trains,buses,ferries, taxis, etc so why do airlines think it's ok to take your money and give you no part of the service? Surely that's not even actually legal! Hello to everyone who knows me, I've been ranting on facebook all day I've now essentially paid 3 times to do an overnight hop across the channel! And even more annoyingly I wouldn't normally fly but I'm avoiding Calais region at the moment!
