Does MEX just not schedule that far in advance, or does BA plan on cancelling that service?
Other options, like via Bermuda or other Caribbean islands?

Retraction--looking at the PDF version, I see now why the scheduler is dissing me. There is one flight on some days of the week MEX-LHR. To arrive in NRT on Saturday means leaving WAS on Thursday, which does not appear to be a popular transatlantic flying day from South of the Border or Caribbean. Oh well, I guess we will just have to suffer with the body cavity search by Helga and then hauling our own luggage from one end of the airport to the other.
Cancelling the service!!!!! Donīt think so, they would like to upgrade it to each and every day of the week as it is a money maker. The thing is they were not aloud by the Mexican government to fly more than 4 times a week (before it was only 3) as the British government didnīt give AM or MX slots at Heathrow and only gave them slots at Gatwick which mexican airlines donīt want. So they can only fly 4 times a week until Heathrow is opened for mexican airlines. The flight is a gold mine and I usually book myself on that one with AA miles to travel here to Spain (anyday the PTV and NO NO to IB without them) and it is full. So the answer to your question is check the day your looking for, as BA might not be operating a flight that day, but cancelling a flight which always goes out full in the 3 classes of service, I donīt think so.
