15 Apr : BA sends out loads of emails for flights already flown

Just had an email inviting me to check in for a flight I took two weeks ago and wasn't ever changed.

Just got the 'Are you ready to go?' email... 'It's nearly home time', which came as a surprise as my next flight is going away from home 6 days from now on IB.

Searched the PNR and it's for my LAST flight home 8 days ago

Same as the two posters above, have just received an email that my flight is now ready for check in, flown that on 20th February and was, for a moment, concerned I had booked a flight for the wrong days.

I have just received two of these "Are you ready to go" e-mails as well. Both for flights over two months ago!

I have received the email three times over 15 minutes in the last half an hour. *Are you ready to go" for a return trip which ended almost 6 weeks ago. It was a BAH if that makes any difference :-)

Are you ready to go?

Just got a mail from BA asking me the above with a booking reference. Nearly had a heart attack I had totally forgotten a booking I made.
Anyway, BA IT......I took this trip two months ago

Yep I just got the mail as well. The booking is for a return to London which is interesting as that’s where I happen to be anyway.

I almost had a “moment” as well until I realised I took the flight 5 days ago..

BA sent an email telling me to OLCI for a flight I took 7 weeks ago

Just recieved an email from BA telling me that I can check in online for my flight back home, only thing is it was in February, 7 weeks ago.

I do have a booking this weekend (a B2B TP run), so this email gave me a mini heart attack thinking that I'd booked it for the wrong day. But no it was for the booking reference for my trip in February, so maybe BA's IT got a bit confused.

I got a check in is now open email for a flight that doesn't leave until Wednesday night- which also caused a bit of a panic as I am not ready to leave until then! And I have since realised that this is a historic flight that I have already flown- pain in the a**e!

Same for me, for a flight a month ago! Had to search my emails for the booking reference after mild panic that I'd forgotten about a flight I'd booked 😂

Yipee- my email is for a cancelled flight that I didn't take on Saturday
Although the very useful side-effect of reminding me what time I should have been home and the fact that BA now owes me loads-a-money...!
