I've seen this recently on LHR-EZE of all places. A search for LHR-EZE say from 19-25th Sept will show no BA nonstop flights, but the return route the same dates will show a BA nonstop flight each day. So the 3-class 777-200 is just magically supposed to appear at Ezeiza each day? The return flights are really quite empty so I find it hard to believe the outbounds for a week solid (in term time) are all so full to the gills that30 days out that they no longer show at all in EF.
All joking aside: my corporate travel agent's website also doesn't show any of these LHR-EZE flights so I'm booking real J tickets for money on other carriers because of this issue.

Same issue on my regular route, the morning ZRH-LCY flight (departing at around 07:40am, BA8760) is currently not showing on EF for the next few days!? Don’t know what’s going on with the „out-of-sync“ mentioned above, but have never seen this before.

My NAP-LGW flight not showing on EF?
23.8 (tomorrow). BA2605 at 22.55?, Any ideas?
On the same subject I have an Avios booking which is changeable. What are chances of changing to the 19.55 (BA 2611), if seats available can they do change a ticket office at airport?l

Same issue regarding Saturday LHR-PHX flight that EF just doesn't see - a little annoying as its the first time I am flying in the riff raff class (J) in a long time and was hoping to see my opup chances...

If you leave the airline blank the Finnair and Iberia codeshares appear which show A9 and J9. You cannot see the detailed seat map for First though.

AA shows me F as well, but I wanted to know how busy the J is - I see AA F7A7 - which is good start, but AA J7D0R0I0 , and wonder whether BA would be J7 or J9... Because AA only shows 7 seats max, i wanted to know whether it is actually 7 or BA sells 9

To answer your other question, if it's a non-cash Avios redemption booking then it's cancellable up to 24 hours prior to the flight so leaving a change until you are at the airport is very unlikely to work. If there was award availability on the 2611 you'd be able to cancel your existing booking and book the new one in the next few years. However, there's no reward availability at the moment on the 2611 8/23 in either cabin (including additional inventory for gold card holders).
