Dear
We're looking forward to welcoming you on board your flight with us from London Heathrow to Glasgow on 25 August.
We wanted to let you know that we'll be making a change to the aircraft operating your flight. Your flight will no longer be operated by a Boeing 747.
We understand that, after speculation on aviation websites, some of our customers booked on BA1482 hoping to be part of our birthday celebration. We’ll happily offer a full refund to anyone who no longer wishes to travel.
You'll be able to view the timing changes to your flight at ba.com/mmb in the next 24 hours.
If you would like to make a change to your booking, please contact us.
If you booked through a travel agent, please contact them to make any changes.

You may need to call up due to BA.com limitations on short transfers, but in terms of B2B, there is never ever going to be a 25 minute turnaround of a jumbo so separate tickets to GLA and NCL is not much of a risk. Nor MAN, I would hope.......

Could you be more specific? I'm seeing an awayday to GLA for £86.31 for the return flights coming back GLA-LHR on an A321. Because BA on my recent search lapsed into the legacy booking front-end there are probably some price glitches due to demand creeping in.

Also on arrival at T5 passengers would be bussed from whatever stand they end up on to domestic arrivals at the north end of T5A.
I guess the domestic 747s will have to board by bus from T5 so A4 sub gate or A10A. I imagine the latter since the A4 sub gates are not very big and there isn't enough space for a 747's worth of passengers. There are no biometric contact gates big enough for a 747.

For same day, if you see anything under £100 all in I would take it; for next day, consider going back via LGW or LCY and £120 would be a good price. I doubt they have filled 6 jumbos in an hour, equally I have no doubts in BA's IT melting down under the strain. Remember you can do a fully refunded cancel in the first 24 hours after purchase, so you can buy something today and then have another look early tomorrow.
