Podgorica is zeroed for the entire summer season,
It might be a technical glitch; or
BA might have decided to drop this route

Hope its the first but think its probably the second as its a new route and hasn't even started yet! Will be trying the Orange airlines then if things open up,

It is zeroed out on ExpertFlyer on 4 and 11 July meaning the flight cannot currently be booked. That could be a sign of a pending cancellation. You’ll likely know for sure in the next few days.

I had a 10% hope that we might have this holiday so now feel very depressed. Thanks for looking.

Thanks yes believe Montenegro airport will be open according to local news that's why I'm disappointed. Just looked at Easyjet so much more expensive on their standard fare compared to CE I booked !!

Hope somebody can advise ...
Have a package holiday booked mid June LGW - Cancun. Have just done a dummy run and flight is now showing departing from LHR -Miami-Cancun. Would this change give us grounds to cancel our holiday and claim a refund? Tia

Atm for Montenegro the update on the IATA sites shows as follows:

I am not sure whether there is any expectation of that changing by July.

You would receive a cancellation notice soon.
By the way, was this a BA holiday or was the flight booked separately?

On the basis your LGW-CUN direct flight is presumably cancelled - what does your MMB show? - then yes you would be entitled to cancel and get a full refund.

By the way, Austrian Airlines have GBP339 r/t flights in Business Class from LHR to TGD via VIE for the same dates of your travel.
This might be your back-up plan if borders open by then.
