I'm afraid that all our patience is wearing thin, but we can only wait. These rolling cancellations have far from abated - and I suspect that if the US keep their ban, then a lot of Transatlantic aircraft will not be flying.

You would need to stay on top of the situation on routes where seats are selling out. I've highlighted AGP, I suspect some other Spanish resorts will be similar, but it won't be the case for all places.
BA must've heard me, just had an email to say "Seat changes for British Airways booking:", clicked on the link and it led to a page advising the LGW-ACE flights were cancelled, one of the options given was to take an alternative booking.

'click', this showed the flights have simply moved to LHR (seats as I'd selected months ago), I gladly accepted that!
