I am booked to fly from LHR on Monday 19th - the same day as the Queen's funeral. Although I have seen nothing official, yet, I couldn't help but think that even with the best will in the World, there will be some disruptions as a result of 'no fly zone' (perhaps) over London, during the ceremony, as well as the plethora of other 'knock-ons'. My dread is that my LHR-SJC (a single-flight-a-day destination) flight gets cancelled.
In an effort to avoid BA informing me on the day before (or worse, on the day) that I am being bounced to another flight, I thought that I could be proactive and get myself bounced onto another flight (assuming that there will be a problem with mine) to fly out on the day before. Note, my schedule at the destination would make a delay very annoying and awkward to rectify.
Forgive my paranoia, but I have been caught out previously, foreseeing a potential snag, in plenty of time to sort it, but being told BA's party line of, "everything is ok." - it wasn't!
Any experience of this?
