It said "could" - it does not mean it expects to...
"Edinburgh Airport has warned that it is potentially facing the scenario of receiving no passengers in the next three months because of coronavirus." A bit different from expecting not to have any passenger.

You’ll have a nice safe time in Wisconsin. Hope you can meet up with your friend, otherwise there are many lovely places to stay and watch the birds alone 😊. I’m flying from Wisconsin to LHR next Wednesday. And hopefully back the following week!

I've got a trip to Germany coming up on Thursday, flight and three day car hire. While I would love to see my family again, I will now, very likely, change that trip if BA will let me. Stupidly I booked on 2nd March. However, as I am also meant to volunteer at the UEFA Euros here in London I'll wait to call BA until Tuesday to see whether the Euros will be postponed or not to determine a new travel date.
Not what I wanted to do, but I also have a cardiology appointment the week after, for which I have waited six months, so would rather not have that at risk just because I want to see my family.

I have a future US road trip (May/June) that was booked using a 2-4-1. We're waiting and seeing for now since everything's flexible, but is there any data points yet on how BA is treating rebookings/cancellations trips booked under 2-4-1's? This was booked within about a week of the expiration date of the voucher, hence the query!

Edit - or if you mean will your voucher get extended then no idea sorry but strongly doubt it.

Unless I’m missing something then reward bookings are fully cancellable for the Ł35pp fee so yes just cancel outside of 24hrs and get your money, points and voucher back.

I hope that the US does NOT add UK to restriction list as I want to visit LA for Easter.
However if the numbers keep increasing here in the UK it is probably inevitable that will happen.
Someone should start a thread of where we can actually travel if we want to...

Got an F trip into SJC at the beginning of April. I'm not looking forward to a two week quarantine when I arrive on a 10 day trip, even though I'm a US/CH citizen, I live in Switzerland. At this point I'm waiting as I'd expect the flight to get canceled or for BA to rebook me to SFO.
