Bad weather disruption - UK/AMS/NW Europe - 10 & 11 December 2017
BA have issued a travel advisory for the snow, wind and ice due to hit AMS tomorrow. Details below.
Looking at their forecast, they are expecting snow to fall from 06:00 hrs through to about 15:00 when it turns to sleet and then rain. I would expect some problems at BRU too, though I haven't heard anything. My experience is that when AMS sneezes, LCY goes down with a cold/flu/pneumonia but they only have flights in the afternoon. I've checked the domestic schedule and BRU and so far no other cancellations, but I suspect BHD, MAN and LBA may be at risk, perhaps GLA too.
If you are going to AMS on Sunday on a back to back think carefully before calling, by all means reach out here for advice.
Cancelled:
BA2758 and 2759 LGW departing 07:45 / AMS departing 10:50
BA430 and 431 LHR departing 08:15 / AMS 11:40
BA434 and 434 LHR departing 10:55 / AMS 14:15
If your flight is cancelled you can rebook to another date, on a joint venture airline or get a refund.

The jargon free version of the above is that if you are flying to AMS you can either call up BA and rebook to today, or later next week. If you are in LHR/LGW now then you can also get a ticketing agent to help. The advisory is quite new so it is possible that you will need to draw it to the agent's attention.
