BA211 [LHR-MIA] on 21/12 cancelled

Just received an email to tell me my flight to Miami on 21/12 has been cancelled. Fortunately I was able to get into MMB straight away and rebook on the earlier flight but I suspect there will be a few frustrated passengers hoping to head off on their Christmas break.

That's the Miami flight, for those that have not memorised the timetable

BA211 also cancelled on 26/12

I was due to fly from Paris with then this flight. Do i have any chance of getting rebooked on a direct flight from Paris with AA given there is availability on other BA flights from London that day?

With two other BAs and the AA flight maybe they can manage loads just fine ?

Its normal for some Christmas thinning to happen on routes with multiple frequencies

End of February it's well past Christmas, however.

I'm flying to MIA on 26 December and the non-stop flights were absolutely rammed, at least if you go by available fare buckets. I'm currently booked via RDU though, so not affected by this - although this could make irrops on the day more awkward.

They have cancelled my outbound 21st December BA211 and inbound 14th January BA210.
Was able to move to the earlier flight on both days, but there are not many seats left so would advise anyone who receives the alerts to move quickly.

On hold now trying to resolve

Had 2 first class seats booked on BA210 on the 16th Dec, return leg of an open jaw, 2-4-1 Avios booking

Predictably there is no reward availability on any MIA departures that day but looks like F seats are still available on an earlier BA departure

Any idea if BA will open up these seats for me?

BA will rebook you on another BA flight in F regardless of reward availability.

Thanks, good to know what to expect when i get through

EDIT - Karfa and Often1 were correct, no issues at all in rebooking onto a slightly earlier flight and no complications or questions around the 2-4-1 voucher or fact it was an avios booking
