British Airways / Didn't adhere to their own written ticket exchange policy

British Airways / Didn't adhere to their own written ticket exchange policy I purchased two BA tickets from San Francisco to Tel Aviv (with a stop in London) on BA's web site. The itinerary I printed from the site listed our flight time as 20:50. I wrongly converted the universal time to 10:50 pm PT instead of 8:50 pm PT. I realized my mistake at the SFO BA ticket counter around 8:20 pm. They didn't let us on the flight (fine) but they also wouldn't book us tickets on a later day without charging us full price for two new tickets again. The policy I read online before purchasing the tickets stated that I could change the tickets for $200 per ticket before the flight left, however, the BA ticket agent in the SFO Airport did not honor this policy. She wanted to charge me for two brand new tickets. Since all the BA flights from London to Tel Aviv were booked for the next several days anyway, I couldn't even purchase new tickets from BA to get to Tel Aviv. I ended up buying two Delta tickets to get to Tel Aviv. I requested a refund from BA and they declined to refund my money. I sent them another letter requesting a refund and they have not acknowledged it yet (going on 4 weeks). _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The information in this email is confidential and may be legally privileged.
