We were warned apple so why the ‘ouch’?

2014 low coming 315p, I reckon years earnings could be wiped out.I'm flying next week BA, I said about booking seats, she said plane half empty no need to pay extra.I understand a lot of cancellations.

[toon1966] 04/3/2020 14:36

Flybe in serious trouble but that should not come as a surprise to anyone.

[toon1966] 04/3/2020 14:29

and Lufthansa grounds a fifth of it’s fleet.

Coronavirus cases in the UK jump by 34 in a day, taking total number to 85 ouch

Italy has just shut every school and university for 2 weeks

The smart airline would sell all its slots at 50% off today.

Then buy from the receiver an airline down the road.

[smithys2019] 04/3/2020 12:57

Ny, my bet is temporary freeze on APD for 6 months to help the recovery. 11 March budget should be a good day for share price

IAG is at a very compelling valuation imo I expect Qataris to increase.
Gov will intervene to ensure airlines don’t have to keep flying on empty just to retain airport slots!

500p if market recovery rally continues, same with (PPS) & (VRS), attracting bargain hunters and rightly so, both hugely undervalued imo dyor

[m1k3y1] 04/3/2020 12:30

ham.....still posting on this BB, even though you don't own IAG shares, or trade them ?
Why ?

[ny boy] 04/3/2020 12:24

NHS, sensible investors trade without emotion, dip buying since this morning’s lows, get a grip man, you are making yourself sound confused and stupid.

All airlines have been ripping customers for years. It all started with removal of the hot meal, followed by paying for allocated seat. The worse is luggage.

[smithys2019] 04/3/2020 12:19

So, seems to be resistance at the 450-60 level. Bears want to suggest what the black swan will be that will trigger a further 100+ drop in the IAG price? The fear is being normalised (unless you read the daily fail).

[npp62] 04/3/2020 12:11

I'm a happy BA regular. All charges are up front. You can see, and get exactly what you pay for. That's not ripping anyone off. That's honest transparency

[sr2day] 04/3/2020 11:59

BA is getting desperate.soon they will waive the charges for seats booked in advance because thee will be so many seats available.they deserve the loss of revenue due to the virus.they have been ripping customers for the last ten years.

[npp62] 04/3/2020 11:52

It'll all be in the rear view mirror in a few months.... hopefully :-)

[hamhamham1] 04/3/2020 11:48

Npp62. There is a lot of difference between 0.15% common flu and 3% corona flu fatality rate.
The whole reason governments around the world are going crazy is because of that, and if it's easy to pass on, they have done the maths. ie if there are 650,000 common flu fatalities per year.... You can work the rest out am sure.

[npp62] 04/3/2020 11:44

3% mortality rate?... the flu kills off 100-200 in the UK every year. Let's have some perspective here

[vanadiumx] 04/3/2020 11:40

"A little worse"!

[npp62] 04/3/2020 11:32

Get a grip man. It's a little worse than normal flu... it's not Ebola FFS!

“Upcoming flights that were booked before Tuesday 3 March 2020 cannot benefit from this new customer policy.”

Treating customers like dogs

Lol

[daveboy1] 04/3/2020 11:04

Yep, keep going with your clap trap, NHS. Very boring. Panic-monger.

[1 nhs] 04/3/2020 11:03

Don’t we just love it

Costs the airline a fortune

Trying to get anyone in the air they can ( empty planes )

Only lasts two weeks.!!

[Coronavirus] British Airways launches ‘book with confidence’ customer policy
ByIvan Coninx -4 March 2020021


British Airways has decided to waive its change fee, giving customers the flexibility to delay travel that is booked during the next two weeks. The move comes as a result of the outbreak of the Coronavirus Covid-19.

The policy will be available for new bookings made between Tuesday 3 March 2020 and Monday 16 March 2020. As some customers are facing uncertainty when booking travel at the moment, the airline has introduced the policy to give its customers more confidence, across any of its routes.

Andrew Brem, British Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer said: “As some customers may choose to change or delay their travel plans at the moment, it’s important we offer them greater flexibility. By waiving our change fee our customers can have the added confidence to book a trip with British Airways that suits them.”

The ‘book with confidence’ policy covers all British Airways routes with changes available right up to departure. Any fare difference due to a date change will still apply.

Upcoming flights that were booked before Tuesday 3 March 2020 cannot benefit from this new customer policy.
