SUPPOSED TO FLY OUT TO GERMANY TODAY BUT MY FLIGHT HAS BEEN CANCELLED... ARGH

calling BA is fruitless as 'due to extreme high call volume all lines are busy please call later'

So went to their website to find the 'manage my booking' great possibly seats available tomorrow or day after, if not being cancelled as well of course. However extra cost is involved so probably will have to scratch my holiday I've been sooooo looking forward to as 'sans entourage' (dh and kids are staying in UK). And also was supposed to hook up with my best friend who's visiting Germany from Israel... all I want to do right now is sit here and cry.

Also extremely gutted that I should have to pay extra for rebooking when BA cancelled the bloody flight... I mean what choice do I have bar rebook? Ok could go for a refund but then the trip is scrapped anyhow

try different airlines maybe ? Get a refund from BA.

I think BA flights are more affected than others. Or maybe go by train ?

poblem being if I book now for tomorrow with any other airline it's going to cost a mint. As for trains... would take aaaaaaaaaaages to get to Munich.
