Delayed 2 days out?

Opened up the BA app this evening to check prices for a future possible flight.

See BA 229 to BWI on Friday (writing this late Wednesday evening) that I’m on is already showing as delayed by 45 minutes due to a late arriving aircraft? Bit surprised this is already showing 2 days out and pretty annoying as I’ve booked a non flexible train ticket to DC that I’ll probably now miss. Is that normal?

It’s quite common for random small delays to show improbably far in advance. It’s usually just an artefact of the IT and scheduling systems and doesn’t convey any useful information at all.

Hi,

I suspect that the aircraft scheduled to operate this route is currently on a small delay. This is likely to be resolved prior to departure. I would have a look tomorrow.

The constant flow of threads like this suggest that BA may be giving out Too Much Information.
