Also as an ancillary question...what happened to social distancing protocols? I guess BA's attitude is in for a dime in a for a dollar to keep the discussion revenue oriented. Again..told to stand 2 meters apart at airport lineups, boarding, etc but sitting 12 inches from a seatmate in a closed environment? I would have thought there would be some gradual steps being taken...therefore my statement above.
  1. July16 1
  2. July 17 3
  3. July 18 4
  4. July 19 more than 9
  5. July 20 5
  6. July 21 4
I do not have a paid subscription to EF (if that makes a difference) but these dates are showing as being wide open so there is a disparity in information. They have the correct aircraft though 777
So that is availability only on the BA direct flight to YVR, and those numbers do seem to relate to what is shown in EF.

Now for those flights only Y class availability - tbh I suspect they are not full whatsoever, and selling class availability is being restricted deliberately atm.

Do you want to go on the original date? Were they not prepared to rebook on another airline (perhaps avoiding the US)?

Alternatively do you want to rebook on one of those dates you listed where there are direct BA flights to YVR? If you just need one seat in Y then just go for that?
