which suggests there may be some wriggle room, but not much. It's full in CW and First, and only one hypothetical seat in WTP. So your other options are to fly indirectly (e.g. via JFK) or to fly another day. BA282 is completely full too. You can go on any service in the next 2 weeks, but see the Standard Customer Guidelines upthread. The airport will perhaps look at other airlines too.

There will be counters open from about 13:00 hrs for the BA282 service.
