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.

phew - so should I expect at least come kind of opportunity in the future to select a seat ?! Is it likely that WT+ will be available for Golds in economy ?

I got myself a seat on the 1500 from GLA to LHR then onwards back home to Belfast.
Expertflyer seat alerts at the ready, just incase the upper deck block is lifted. Interestingly, 4 UD seats looking booked as well as 1A presumably those folks got in before the block on seats was implemented.

I mentioned that it was a bit out of the ordinary as the flights were being operated by a 747 and they were attracting a bit of attention in the FF community! Yes, he said, 'I saw an email about that earlier'

The cheapest day return has sold out from NCL. Now Ł185 at least, returning that evening - I've placed a hold on returning the following night.

Booked what exactly? Noone seems to know exactly what's going on, apart from three 747s are flying domestically.

Has anyone managed to pay for seats? You able to book seats at time of booking and the flight is filling up fast especially as we want a window seat. Will ring BA tomorrow, but just wondered if anyone has had any luck?

The contact centre says it’s due to the flight being months away...
