Cancelled ticket British Airways

At Christmas, a BA ticket I bought for my daughter to come home to Idaho from her teaching post in Kuwait was cancelled at Heathrow because of weather, missed connection. She couldn't get them to refund/credit the ticket and I can't get them to answer any phone number I had. So now I'm trying flight insurance claim but 2-4 month delay. Shouldn't there be a number and a live person at BA and at least a credit offered. When I called CheapTickets, they referred me to the airline!

I heard of canceled FLIGHTS, but never of canceled TICKETS.... The airline has a responsibility to honor the tickt and find an alternative when they cancel flights, and even when a passenger misses his/her connection (due to late flight arrival)...

So this is weird.

Just wondering how did your daughter make it back home... Not swimming I hope.
