I was originally on the 98 tonight from YYZ but switched early at the desk for the earlier flight, a smart move now considering the 98 is canx. According to the lounge staff those of us on the 92 will leave tonight it's just a matter of where we will land. Our aircraft has been here for some time and everyone here seems adament that we'll at least cross the Atlantic.

They moved it forward? The app and expertflyer both say 20:30. 15:00 would mean it arrives into LHR at 01:00 or so. I was supposed to be on 98 tonight so that's what I meant when I said my originally scheduled flight was pushed back. I got out Friday instead.
Expert flyer only states operational reasons for the delay. I wonder if there was more to it than weather. If so 261/2004 might apply. It's definitely a stretch though.

AA rep says $187 now ($150 UK departure tax + misc fee). In order to change, she said I need to be out of check-in state, and once that happens, I can't avoid the departure tax. Is this normal?

Do you have travel insurance with trip interruption coverage? Or did you use a credit card that has coverage?

An Amber Weather warning has been issued for London and the South East starting late Sun 27th into Mon 28th October
My company has already alerted staff to the high risk of disruption
I am guessing that delays at London airports can be anticipated
They are not certain at the minute how the weather pattern will track
Something to keep an eye on, if you are travelling

Still sounds fishy given the situation but I'd say jump on it to be assured the seat then claim a refund later. Only do that if you're willing and able to part with the money if they don't give the refund.
