Seychelles was just a time change - my April flights moved by 35mins on the outbound. Same date though.

Isn't there an agreement in place with Westjet via YUL/YYZ?

Nope it's gone. Last LHR-SEZ flight is 24 April, last return 26th April assuming so the same crew can operate the return.

It is so sad looking at the wiki and seeing amount of routes dropped.

i’ve just been notified that the LHR-YYC leg is cancelled for Sept. planned to do a Calgary - Vancouver road trip culminating in visiting relatives at the end. Hmm not sure what to do now.

It also seems Lahore is only on sale till 22nd April. Surely they won’t be suspending this? It’s a new route which has done well and Virgin are competing on it too.

Hi I have a return LHR-KUL in May, using Amex companion in F. What are my options?

Shame about ICN, I used a 2-4-1 in the 50% off Avios sale for June. I assume there are no rebooking or alternative options here - even to a different destination? Sufficient notice was given by BA, so just need to suck it up as part of the current climate? Shame, as I am sitting on a pile of Avios and it is getting harder to use them!

Yes, I'm in the same position and would be interested in the FT experts's thoughts. I'd be happy to go to Singapore instead; is this something BA would consider?

I rather not change, as it's stupid having a 12 hour flight, then faff around for a short hop. I can't afford MAS, unless they will honour my AMEX Companion voucher.

Had the same plans but in the other direction. Annoying! Just got off the phone and rebooked Avios redemption to be Vancouver round trip.

Just got the Osaka cancellation too.

Will BA allow a rebooking to/from another destination? (Tokyo at least.. or will they consider others..??)

The cancellation email states, "If you accept to travel from a different departure point or to a different destination than your original booking, we will not cover any expenses for travel between the two points, including car rental and parking." --- so am hopeful.

This booking was one of those "Amex241 + 50% off Avios" deals so really want to keep this alive if at all possible!
