Seems to be 2 weeks notice for most flights?
Depends on what a country says, if they ban incoming flights for a month then obviously no flights before then!
Looks like Denmark may start lifting restrictions soon, I hope it starts the domino effect of re-opening.
Sweden still the gold standard in jetsetting, their borders have no restrictions at the moment, no bureaucracy to go there.
LH gave 50 EUR per ticket incentive to keep the ticket value open instead of getting a refund, has BA done something?

There have been further cuts to the already bare bones service out of the LHR for April. LHR to JFK has just been reduced from twice to once daily.

Just wondering, did anybody here received a cancellation notice for a LHR-USA flight on May, or a future date which does not arrive at one of the 13 approved arrival airports.
As you might know, AA dropped some LHR-USA routes until May/June and some until Fall and the ones that currently seem to operate would operate with reduced frequencies for a while.
Is it likely that BA would drop routes like BWI, BNA, MSY, PDX, CHS for the entire summer season or until the situation completely gets normal.

Interesting cancellation today for me. BA emailed to say my LHR ORD flight on May 8 was cancelled. This is actually an AA flight - for which AAs app has me still on but routed LHR DFW ORD ☹️
My return on May 12 with BA is still showing as flying.
OT but.... I can rebook or cancel so it’s all fine. And I’m tempted to rebook because it was a very cheap Y fare so I believe that as long as the same fare class is available I can book for October half term. Fingers crossed.
Finding the fare class was fun as the BA PNR just didn’t play ball as it clearly thought that booking was cancelled.. So thanks to Flyertalk, I knew to go to Finnair and get my itinerary emailed. Worked a treat. (O class ticket).

I've had e-mails and a text this afternoon from BA advising extended cancellation of LHR NCL LHR for May. I was travelling 6th and 14th, with LHR MIA as the international sectors, which although still operating (for the next few days for now). I called BA just now, got through in a couple of mins and they've started to process the cash/UUA booking refund. The agent was lovely. I said up front that my booking was a good while off and she wasn't the least bit bothered and genuinely happy to help. Will see how long the refund takes from now?!

It appears that even our very own corporate-wage-slave cannot keep the NCL route running though May
