And I wasn't asking for an answer to that - I just drafted out a scenario and was wondering how BA would approach it. Nothing to do with the current situation and many years of previous experience available I'm sure!

Moreover BA have a Guideline that allows services to be rebooked on Lufthansa Group flight numbers (which may include EW potentially). Lots of detail on this in the main Rebook thread.
Thank you! Yea, I tried the LH route last time they suspended DUS - unfortunately it explicitly excludes EW. Or that's what they told me anyway...

Good to hear there might be a bit of flexibility with dropping a segment though, that's all I wanted to know for now
