Just had a message that Thursday's 09.40am BA175 LHR to JFK is now delayed by 3 hours. I hope this may be a precaution so I intend to arrive on time and wait for better news.

Just got off the phone with BA, and the agent said that there was no policy to allow rerouting to avoid NYC airports. I am connecting at JFK on the 4th. As our flight shows as still scheduled there is nothing that contact centers staff can do.

Fingers crossed it stays that way then. I wouldn't be surprised if there are more cancellations as it's a monster storm crawling up the east coast. Good luck to everyone travelling!
