Not mine, fortunately. But BA819 CPH-LHR is already showing as cancelled on Expertflyer, meaning the last BA flight leaves CPH at 1510. Is it really that foggy (and should I worry, being booked on a late flight to LHR on another carrier)?

My flight was cancelled too. They're clearly expecting lots of delays, so proactively cancelling lightly loaded rotations to create a buffer to let them catch up if they need to. Chances are your flight will operate, but maybe with a bit of a delay...

Yes, but that can snarl things up for the whole day. If some of the morning flights that they still want to operate go out with a four hour delay, for example, they need to plan to cancel some of the afternoon rotations too, since they're expecting not to have the planes back in time to operate them with... Planning ahead like this lets them canx the most lightly loaded or difficult rotations, to minimise the impact on passengers across the whole days operation.
