BA574 LHR-LIN tomorrow (Mon 25th) cancelled
Bit of a heads-up for anyone on this tomorrow - it's been cancelled, presumably due to airport worker strikes in Italy.
I didn't get any notification from BA (previously I've received a text or push notification for cancelled flights), but noticed it in the app when I opened it to check the flight status. I'm now booked on BA568 a couple of hours later, but I had to manually accept the rebooking online (web browser only - couldn't do it in the app).
Bit of a pain in that I've got a non-changeable car picking me up and taking me, so I'll have an extra couple of hours to kill.
