Routes to/from LGW*/LCY/STN are NOT affected. Only flights to/from LHR* are potentially affected. If you think you may be affected, post 2714 (click here) may be helpful.
*The LGW-JFK flight has seen a lot of cancellations for the current strike period.

Mixed fleet routes are listed here, though note that other (non Mixed Fleet) flights from Heathrow are also being cancelled.
Note for context in terms of how many routes might actually be affected: there are about 4000 members of MF (of which ~2,700 are Unite members and therefore eligible to take industrial action) and 15,000 total cabin crew

All British Airways customers will be able to fly to their destinations on Thursday 19, Friday 20 and Saturday 21 January despite proposed industrial action by Unite.
British Airways has further strengthened its schedules from the previous two days of strike action, and can confirm the following details:
All flights to and from London Gatwick will operate as normal
All flights to and from London City will operate as normal
All long haul flights to and from London Heathrow will operate as normal
As part of our contingency plan, we will be merging a very small number of short haul flights to and from London Heathrow. This will result in the cancellation of only one per cent of our total scheduled flights across the three days.
This will mean some customers will travel slightly earlier or later in the day than their original booking. Customers affected are being contacted with the options available for them.
If you are flying on any of the three days of threatened industrial action and want to check your travel plans please continue to use Manage My Booking.
There may be some inaccurate information about our schedule on some general aviation and airport websites. Please ignore these sites.
The accurate information about your travel plans will be contained within your personal booking page on Manage My Booking.
Thank you for your support and understanding.

Thanks KARFA. I keep my fingers crossed for my BA753 BSL-LHR (1110-1205) and LHR-BSL BA756 (1910-2145) on Saturday. If BA753 is cancelled, I'll cancel the trip altogether and hope for a full refund.

I'm ok going out on 18th LHR-DUS.
DUS-LHR BA941 return 16:15 on 20th could be affected, but maybe its the flight they consolidate to. I can't leave earlier, but don't mind if it's changed to a later flight.
