Has the flight been cancelled altogether? Sadly the earlier BA67 is at a pretty inconvenient time.
It ironically is coming up on AA.com award searches as well but BA 68/69 are indeed cancelled. At some point in 2018, it will come back three days a week (Friday, Sunday, Monday I think) and will be operated by a 789. BA 66/67 will remain a super J 747.

This flight has been gone since March. BA has operated with 1x 744. As mentioned in Spring 2018, the later flight will return 3x weekly on 789.

This confused me too, albeit the return BA68 flight as it was showing up on ITA Matrix for next week. The 22:00 departure from PHL would have been ideal, instead I'll be on the 20:40 AA A330 flight.

Looking forward to flying out on BA67, not been on a 747 since heading back from SFO almost 5 years ago.

In which case, it's unsurprising that you can get the same itinerary returned by ITA as well. As you say, there's clearly some duff data somewhere. An interesting bug.

Unsurprisingly, clicking through to ba.com yields an error.

Presumably there's a duff data feed somewhere (or BA are using it to try and test demand for the service?)
I fell foul of this when finding a good price through Google returning from the USA mid October on the phantom BA68 and doing a travel requisition in WTP... fortunately managed to get a much more expensive return via JFK signed off. Who knows how the phantom price was generated, perhaps it was the cost immediately before it was withdrawn from the schedule?
