I guess it depends whether you are in one of the affected flights or not but essentially the plan seems to be just under 50% cancellations (which is what was requested by French ATC in advance of the strike)

Plan for today accroding to BA:

5 out of 11 cancelled to Paris
5 out of 11 cancelled to NCE
2 out of 4 cancelled to LYS
1 out of 3 cancelled to MRS
1 out of 3 cancelled to TLS

Some of the flights that are going are badly delayed. My main query is how does BA decide which go or don't. It seems that mostly afternoon flights are cancelled in priority, so for NCE, for instance the 5 flights cancelled include 4 in a row.

The plan looks the same for tomorrow more or less on all destinations, no confirmed cancellation for Thursday as yet.
