Default British Airways flight cancellation -- options?

Can anyone advise?

I booked & paid for a British Airways return flight Manchester to Marrakesh on Saturday (17th Sept). The flights are in November.

Today BA emailed me to say that my flight has been cancelled. They've offered an alternative which means I'd only get 2 days in Marrakesh, instead of the 5 days I would have had with the original flight.

Can I get BA to put me on another flight (with one of their service parters, for example) so I can get close to my original plans?

Any help welcomed

Hello

As they have given you plenty of notice, not really. They will give you your money back of course.

There's EU rules about compo but outside 14 days, you're stuffed really.

Maybe Trading Standards as flights were not "as advertised"...?

Either get a refund and get a flight with another airline, or bump the return leg to 3 days later to ensure you get your 5 days.
