Agreed. You can take the voucher if you want but the default if you do nothing is that a BA Holidays booking gets a full cash refund if BA cancel.

Flights to Sydney still appear to be scheduled for June at the moment. Strangely BA have been steadily releasing reward seats in F over the last couple of weeks with a fresh batch out today. Seems a little odd to release avios seats when BA have no intention of operating the route in June.

Probably it's because of people who cancel their Avios bookings by paying the GBP35 cancellation fee.
If someone cancels their Avios redemption, that space becomes available for sale.

Or the sceptic in me thinks they know they will cancel these and could do with the interest free loan from the public for a rolling 4/6 weeks its taking them to pay back!

​​​​​​​Who knows!

My much more boring (but also probably realistic) answer is that the system that automatically releases seats based on the booking curve probably has not been switched off, so as long as the flight is open for sale, they will be released as normal.

Any airline as desperate for cash as you suggest would be doing everything not to pay refunds, which as we’ve seen from multiple threads here is not happening. Also you’re conveniently forgetting that the vast majority of refunds are paid within 3 days, it’s only complex ones that have to be queued. And the triggers for ‘complex’ are much less likely to be met for a booking made now for travel in a few weeks.

My bookings for NCE-LHR-OSL on June 10th have been cancelled.

​​​​​​NCE to LHR allowed a flight change as alternative flights available, but was not automatically rebooked!

It looks like DME has just been zeroed out for June. Nothing available all month. Expecting my flight on 29th to be cancelled any time now.

Newbie question, is there an easy way of finding this sort of thing out, or is it a case of searching for the dates on ba.com?

Not a surprise but EDI-LGW zeroed for June now by the looks of it. Still showing in MMB but not bookable and received an e-mail.

There's probably an easier way - but I just keep running searches for my dates.

The easiest way is to use ExpertFlyer, but this requires a paid subscription or a short free trial period. There are some free alternatives such as BCD travel availability tool (https://flightavailability.bcdtravel...MnAvlMain.aspx), but I do not think it is as reliable.

Edit: See the wiki on this thread: Help to check BA seat availability and BA flight loads

Sydney flights now zeroed out for all of June. Flights still intact in MMB so now just be a case of time before the cancellation gets send out.

Strangely though under online rebooting options May and June are still available! No idea whether it would let me rebook to any of those dates in practice!
