Delay in Flight leading to monetary loss

Flight delay of more than 2 hours on British Airways flight number BA 0833 from Dublin- London Heathrow and BA0119 from London to Bangalore on 10th December with PNR: KQBAUN resulted in missing of connecting flight.

And it’s a shame that when asked to see the regulations they just said “no! I don’t need to read anything you can’t fly back” after 30min they ended calling...

customer service

British airways is by far the worst in customer service and is doing nothing to help those customers impacted by the corona virus. They refuse to offer flight changes to anybody without charging $300 in service fees to change the flight. I am traveling with elderly parents not in the best of health and a small child and the rest of my trip has been cancelled due to this outbreak. They do not care about their clients. Only their bottom line....
