I think it was she couldn't off-load me from the original flight, so could not check us in for the other flight but did put notes in the system to guarantee the seats. We also changed to flying to LHR instead of LGW so not sure if that made a difference. It wasn't a problem as when we got to the airport we were put on an earlier LHR flight.
Hopefully all should work out.

I think I must be lucky.
BA 1463 last night held for 45 minutes on the gate and then took a long and winding route down from EDI to avoid the restricted airspace (EDI - Overhead GLA - West of Isle of Man - Wrexham - Chepstow - South of London - 27L) and arrived 45 minutes late.
T5 was fairly empty this morning (I had no-one in front of me at N Fast Track security, a personal first), and BA 936 to DUS pushed back about 20 minutes late, then headed to a hold somehwere neat T5C for 40 minutes and then took off an hour late.
Tonight's return is showing to be departing on time as well.
I noticed a few short haul flights cancelled (CDG was one), but it did seem very much like business as usual.

Slightly OT ... or perhaps not? I'm now a bit confused with OLCI over the next 2 days.
I have linked sectors on a single booking. Just done the OLCI for the first one [18 May JER-LGW] ... and I used to be able, at the same time, to OLCI for the TATL the following day. But not now!
Can any BA Wizards enlighten me?
