BA Website Being Weird?
I just logged into the BA website and the first thing I see on the front page is this, showing by outbound is cancelled. I went into 'Manage My Booking' and cannot see anything amiss, and I haven't had any emails advising me of the cancellation. Thoughts? Is it just the website 'having a moment'?

not sure if it is related but this week there have been/will be a number of JFK-LHR cancellations....the 174 seems to be cancelled every day (Mon-Fri) with the 178 cancelled on Monday, the 116 tomorrow and 114 on Thursday....
I was supposed to be on the BA114 but got rebooked on the BA172 with a similar screen as above although there was a link to accept the new flight.
On Wednesday March 20 the JFK-LGW BA2272 looks to be cancelled too....

I would certainly call up about this (are there other flights on the booking?). When BA have done cancellations in the past, the first step has been to zero out the fare buckets, which hasn't happened at this point, in fact it's 9 in every bucket. The next stage is for BA.com/arrdep to show the cancellation, again this isn't the case.

Well I called BA and she said she couldn't see anything to suggest either of my flights were cancelled! So hopefully it is just a website blip, but WVFM's comment is making me nervous LOL.
Also if they were to cancel, and going out the following day was unacceptable, would they allow us to switch to a JFK-LHR flight?
