The airline also says it will charter 23 planes if a walk out by cabin crew members of the Unite union starts in a dispute over pay and working conditions.

Industrial action could impact on BA’s short- and long-haul flights from London Heathrow Airport, and short-haul journeys from London Gatwick Airport.

The offer also applies to those scheduled to fly 48 hours before and after the walkout, which is due to start on 22 December. Passengers will be able to switch to another flight departing within the next 12 months.

Passengers whose flights are cancelled because of industrial action will be offered ticket refunds, or the opportunity to rebook or reroute their journey on another BA flight.

Up to one million passengers will be affected by the disruption after cabin crew voted in favour of a strike in a dispute over job cuts and staffing levels.

Airline bosses are trying to rework flight schedules and said they will inform passengers directly affected via email and text messages.
