Preparing for your trip...
Yes, those emails that BA typically send out a few days before you travel. Received one today for a flight in November 2018! Wonder if that's a record for the most notice they've given?
I guess they want me to be really prepared

Would this be an email with the subject Your Departure PNR: date time? I received one last month for a departure in September, but it might have been notifying me of a change in time. Nothing in the email mentioned a change, but I noticed that the scheduled departure was now a few minutes later.

Yes, it includes the PNR and date/time. I don't recall whether the time has changed. It's the LHR-JNB A380 daily flight. The email says departure is 21:10, I vaguely recall that it was 21:30 before but might be wrong on that.
If they're going to notify on time changes it would be better if the email was actually titled that.

That's nothing....Aegean Airlines have sent me 6 in the last 12 days.
Plus another 30 since the start of the year. Never flown with them and have no plans to. My own fault of course as I imagine I could unsuscribe from their mailing list.

I’m sure it’s well-meaning by BA, for their infrequent flyers. I guess filtering them to prevent them being sent to this community woukd just generate another bug in BA’s IT systems.
Anyway, it’s the work of a second to delete the email, like so many others I receive!

Don't these come out at certain intervals before travel? I'm sure I've recently seen some that have been sent exactly three months before travel. Was yours exactly at the six month point?

Nope. Travel is on 8th Nov, received email yesterday. Why couldn't they just title it "Notification of change of flight time" or something that was actually useful?
