Hmmm. On EF it looks like everything after midday is zeroed out except for full J fare, but before midday is normal. Does that mean that they're trying to operate as normal in morning, but keeping capacity later on to pick up IRROPS?

"Could you please check for a recent advisory about changes because of fog tomorrow? I think one was issued very recently".

I'm seeing BA1442 as cancelled. Albeit the only rotation of the day that currently is.

I have LHR-AMS and AMS-LHR tomorrow evening on the BA426 and BA427. The outbound is a RFS, the return is the first leg of a complex mutli-stop J itinerary, which continues on Wednesday night with LHR-HKG on BA31. I can't really afford to get stuck overnight in AMS.
Do you think, with the advisory in mind, BA will allow me to skip the *first* leg of the ex-EU, and refund the RFS?

BBC are showing fog developing this evening, so I wonder if last flights out will be caught by that.
It'd be arguably disappointing if they were ahead on weather outcomes again, as I think they were with recent snow.
