Flying with the jinxed crew - BA56 ex JNB
Probably - we had a revised departure of 14h today for an hour or so last night, but then this morning that's moved to 21:25. The 56 for tonight has been pushed back to 02:10 tomorrow morning, so I think possibly we're going to take their plane and they'll take LEA or the 380 that should have been going to Miami, depending on how broken LEA is.

The AF A380 from JNB was also cancelled last night (took off, dumped fuel, landed) so that's an extra 2 x 380 departures tonight - they may just have pushed 56 back to have enough 380 capable gates between 18h and 22h...

Two pairs of flights with the same flight numbers (BA56 and AF995) - JNB will be a joy tonight...
