Why are there 21 weekly flights to Oslo, when their border is closed to non-essential travel. Are there really that many in the oil industry still travelling, which I believe is one of the few sectors permitted.
I understand Munich and some of the others with high flight frequency more, as borders are open.
Just curious more than anything. Interesting list!

We have flights on May 10th, ABZ- LHR- JNB. Seats in J using a 2-4-1. We'd also paid for seat selection on the UD as it was probably going to be a last chance to fly on the 747. Then on the 11th May we have a flight on Comair from JNB to WDH which was a cash booking.
Not had any cancellations yet, waiting for BA to cancel so that we will get our seat selection refunded aswell as the taxes etc. Would rather have a refund so that we can rebook once things become clearer.
We booked the flights in July 2019.

I setup alerts on Expert Flyer for my TPA-LGW flight on May 2nd, and have just this minute had the alerts through of all buckets going to 0 (was all 9 on every bucket this morning). Checked EF and they’ve done every tampa flight upto and including May 31st, with normal availability returning on June 1st.
nothing official from BA yet but I’m assuming that’ll be imminent.
just looked for other Florida airports and seen they’ve done the same with MCO-LGW, totally wiped out for May. Looks like they haven’t got around to doing MIA-LHR yet as still showing normal availability on the 4 flights per day, which obviously won’t remain the case.

I think if you avoid the times when BA are sending out loads of cancellation messages you should be fine. Just wait a few days after all these longhaul cancellations go out

Some long-haul destinations have been already zeroed for May including Sydney, Nashville, Montreal, Baltimore, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Miami ( AA goes daily instead of x3 weekly - 2x BA canceled ), Newark, Kuala Lumpur, Osaka.
However, some destinations including New York-JFK ( which still have available 8-9 departures for most of May ) and not zeroed yet; it's obvious that it's not have been touched yet by the IT team, probably, we'll see more changes coming.

In case of a cancellation within the last 15 days, if it meets the -2/+4 hour requirement to avoid EU compensation; the OP could request to be rebooked on Qatar despite award availability. However, it might need a supervisor touch.

PHL has been zeroed out in all classes now for all of May so it should be cancelled. I’m due to fly May 12 but guess this will be cancelled.
Availability starts again June 1st
