BA183, 5th Nov
This flight (last of the day to JFK) is showing a 2 hour delay 24 hours before the flight and the 2 previous flights are zeroed out in F and J. Anyone know whether this delay is likely to shorten? I don’t fancy a 00.40 arrival at JFK as I have an early start on Monday. Thanks

BAs website is directly linked to the aircraft management system, so if the aircraft provisionally operating the flight would theoretically be delayed then this will reflect
The majority of the time the delay goes away as the aircraft catches up or gets swapped out.
This time it is currently still showing a 90min delay and I did read on here about a very late swap 747-777 so I wonder if they are tight on 747s, the current allocated aircraft is coming in on the BA238 day flight from Boston due in 6.50pm
Fingers crossed for you, as a veteran of that flight it is a very late night at the best of times, not my favourite flight at all!

I'm on that fought and noticed the delay posted last night, but it seems to have disappeared now. Fingers crossed it stays that way, as it's a been a long day. I'm in the land of the espresso martinis now to try to make the long connection go faster if anyone else is around...

Looks like a ~1.5 hour delay has popped back up. The inbound aircraft was delayed ~2.75 hours coming in from SAN. So unless they switch the aircraft (very possible) then you’re likely looking at a few more martinis.
