It is annoying I grant you but I don’t think it’s really BAs fault. Our flight from BCN was also cancelled yesterday so we could make arrangements, which is better than today. Sadly the one we are booked on now is delayed by 36 minutes (departure) and interestingly 181 minutes on arrival??

BTW does anyone know why it would show that? I have access to the Op Dashboard and it shows the same. I can’t believe it’s going to circle LHR until 0130 in the morning ? Is it just that the departure time hasn’t been updated as it’s around a four hour flight time on those figures?
"I'm not a pilot chappie" oh dear me - please come into the 21st century and recognise BA (and other airlines) have a diverse range of pilots now and very capable they are too.

A big thank you to CWS, KARFA, Sigwx and many more who are providing the information about cancellations. It takes a lot of time, effort and patience to keep this thread going for our information and I for one appreciate it very much.
