A couple of weeks ago I got an email to say the BA1416 has been cancelled and we have been rebooked on BA1422 to Belfast departing at 18 45pm arriving at 20 10pm, so a connection time of 12 hours and 15 minutes !!!
Totally unthinkable after a long haul 13 1/2 hour overnight flight.
I think this will affect a lot of people coming in on Long Haul flights with a connection to Belfast.
I'm not sure when your booking is for, but looking at a random date in October the BA1416 still exists but has been pushed back in the timetable to 14.30pm. The earlier BA1414 which used to leave leave LHR first thing in the morning has been pushed back to 9.45am.
Have you checked on the BA website to see if there are any flights running on the day that you need that are better timed for you, and if so contacting BA to see if they will move you. The other alternative might be to see if there is a better timed flight from Heathrow to Dublin that they would move you to. Not great having a two hour journey on a bus to get back to Belfast, but might be preferable to 12 hours in Heathrow.
