BA offers flexible rebooking ahead of Storm Dennis
British Airways is allowing passengers on short-haul flights out of London airports tomorrow to rebook amid warnings Storm Dennis will bring strong winds and heavy rain.
In a message on its website, BA says: "We recognise the uncertainty that the expected bad weather may be causing customers, and have therefore introduced flexible rebooking options for customers booked on short-haul flights in or out of Heathrow, Gatwick or London City airports on Saturday.
"Safety is at the heart of everything we do, and our highly trained team is carefully monitoring the weather this weekend.
"If you are booked on a short-haul flight to/from Heathrow, Gatwick or London City airports on Saturday 15 February, and wish to change your plans, you can rebook to bring your flight forward to Friday 14 February, or delay your travel to another flight between Sunday 16 February and Wednesday 19 February, inclusive.
"If you booked directly with British Airways please contact us to make these changes, otherwise, contact your travel agent.
"Please also make sure your contact details are up to date in Manage My Booking.
"Please keep checking the very latest information about your flight before travelling to the airport as the situation could change at short notice.
"You can also check your flight status on your mobile phone."
Storm Dennis is expected to bring widespread strong winds and heavy rain to parts of the UK.
Met Office meteorologist Matthew Box said inland gusts could reach 50mph by Saturday afternoon, rising to 80mph in exposed areas in the south and west."
