It’s all well and good discussing BA’s scheduling here and on other threads, but I reiterate that personal travel is also dependent on whether the receiving country will permit entry. The last time I looked, the USA will deny entry to those travelling from UK, Schengen etc. etc.

Now some flights may be operating to the USA, and their few pax may indeed fall under one of the USA waivers (returning citizens, etc). BUT ... where does that leave, for example, UK pax booked with BA on a flight to the USA that is operating (i.e. not cancelled)? Will BA offer refunds as the pax will effectively be denied boarding under US entry rules? Or do the pax have to turn to travel insurance?

Has anyone encountered this scenario yet?
