Good for her but I’m confused. It says she herself requested the vouchers once the flight was no longer possible. It seems strange to request vouchers at the beginning of a global pandemic, and then when the pandemic doesn’t end quickly, she doesn’t want the vouchers anymore and demands reimbursement by the airline?

It would be different if she’d asked for a refund to begin with… the story is a bit unclear. I know a lot of airlines were shady and were offering vouchers when legally customers had the right to a full refund. It’s the fact that she requested the vouchers that throws me off.

BA is absolutely horrible. I had a round trip trip from NYC to Scotland that required a stopover in London, and 3 out of the 4 total legs got canceled. They tried to put me on a different flight but none of them worked. I asked if I could just book separate one-way flights and one-way flights are over double the price of round trip. We booked business class flights, but by the time we could use the voucher and book new flights, we could only afford economy since prices went up by so much.

We have a little left over on the vouchers but I don't even want to use them since I never want to put myself in a situation where I have to count on BA again.

Yes. I’m older and remember this as a kid. Very young kid.

Us kids probably keyed into this more, taking to the heart, as they say. The older generation I imagine rolled their eyes. Their attitude toward litter was “trashy” to be sure. I can recall opening the package of some toy in the backseat of a car on family trip. I asked what should do w the packaging. “Oh just toss it out the window,” was the reply. So I did. Can’t remember the toy but remember the cardboard fling out the window.
And cigarettes.
To people who smoked, the whole world was an ash tray.

Also as kids, we were closer the litter. Literally. Walking home from school we could see it all at our feet. So the subject of litter was relevant.

This had motivated me to revisit a refund, jeez BA are dodgy, they tie you up in notes sending no reply emails and telling you to write to some PO box in Gloucestershire. It's a battle of attrition. Dodgy pricks
