What refund am I entitled to from BA if I first accept a change of itinerary
I paid EUR 670 for flights in August (VIE-LHR). First the outbound flight was cancelled, so I rebooked it (at no cost) for the next day. Now all the flights have been cancelled and I want a cash refund, but BA are only offering me EUR 393 (through their website). I assume they want to refund only the cheaper ticket I rebooked for the outward leg (plus the original return leg) – but I've still spent EUR 670 and they've cancelled my flights, so am I entitled to the full amount, and how would I go about holding them to it?
Is there something I'm missing here?

If you have booked directly with British Airways and you notice a mistake with your booking after you have paid for your ticket(s), you can cancel your flight booking and claim a full refund without penalty, up to 24 hours from when you make the original booking.How do I get a refund from BA?
