Great to hear the 464/465 rotation today should still go, here's hoping. ^ Safe and enjoyable trips today regardless of which aircraft is used.

Hi RollsRory, just so I get the wiki (and graphics) correct, can you let me know which flights you are on please? (I see mention of the 456, 464 and 465, all on the 15th...so just want to put you in the right place(s)!

Safe travels everyone.

I was booked on it for this mornings flight but as it was switched to a 777 (and delayed at that) I cancelled as the delay would of been too tight to make it back again.
Once it looks like it has been fixed and is operating this afternoons flight I will rebook :-)

Just been speaking to the senior cabin crew on the 777 this morning on the way to Madrid and he is doubtful that this afternoons flight on the a350 will go ahead. It will all depend on the availability of an airbus engineer apparently!

Not sure they'd still be selling tickets if that was the case.

This sounds like great news indeed, thank you for posting the screenshot. Glad to read was only a quick "pit-stop" but shame for those that missed out. Hope the rest of the travelling parties enjoy the A350

I’d treat that BA response on Twitter as a reply to the IT systems issues rather than the A350. I’m not sure that can be relied upon just yet.

Made it home now.

Have fun all who are on the A350 in the coming weeks.

Needless to say I am disappointed it didn‘t work out for me but stuff like this happens.

It was a pleasure to meet a few FTers yesterday and it was great fun.

Safe travels.
