It's critical that we arrive in Santiago within 24 hrs of our scheduled flight (which arrives Fri morning) as we have onward transfers to a fairly remote ski resort that only depart on a Saturday so if our BA flight is cancelled I want to be pro-active in getting BA to re-book us on another carrier.

What's our best course of action if/when we find our flight is affected? Call the silver line (I'd presume there would be a lot of callers) or go to Heathrow and speak to an agent (I live in central London so that wouldn't be a big issue)?
Other carriers flights are already almost full. This is summer. If your flight is cancelled the most likely option will be go home.
