Last but not least, flying LHR-IST via AMM is a serious reroute and won't be considered a reasonable alternative.
BA has no seat until 25th, and neither does any other carriers that offer 'reasonable' connections, except for an LCC but I do not think BA would rebook on an LCC, would they?
My flight today has been cancelled and has been showing as such in Flight Arrivals and Departure for hours, but not showing up in MMB as cancelled yet. Neither have I received any notification. Some people would have left for LHR by now, so I expect there would be a chaos at T5.
