Obviously I'd rather have it cancelled AND know earlier so I can book an alternative transit, than to have it cancelled the day of.

Now, clicking into the seatmap, as shown in the image, I see entire rows 4-7blocked off, which I'm guessing that they are transporting a group of people that matters somewhat. Thats why they haven't cancelled this flight? And I'm hoping this means it will likely to not cancel? Maybe I'm reading too much into this but if anyone knows what this might mean and if it increases the likelihood that flight will fly. I appreciate your kind input and won't hold you responsible at all regardless of the outcome. Thanks so much..

BA often blocks the front rows of Euro Traveller to accommodate potential “curtain moved” ie if loads in Club increase they don’t have to. I’ve Customers in Euro Traveller at very short notice..

let’s hope your flight won’t face the axe, however in recent times short notice cancellations can happen as late as on the day due to a number of factors. Think ahead and have a plan B ready if you must travel but let’s hope your flight will go ahead.

Hope this helps
