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!
Yes they should - the agent had to check, but booked into commercial availability if no Avios seats remaining. Just done this on two bookings where one half of an open jaw was to/from a cancelled destination. This was on a pair of 241's (though not with the 50% discount)

My Bangkok redemption in February has also just been cancelled, so looks like they are moving back from the Summer season.

FWIW my ABZ-KUL in October was cancelled (also on a 241 in business) - called up and no problem switching to Singapore instead (despite no Avios availability) - very helpful agent.

Likewise for our Easter flights. Looks like the schedule has been scrubbed until November next year which seems to suggest that the likelihood of Thailand opening for tourism is unlikely for a long while

Our Reward flights in CW to Durban, Oct '21 have been cancelled this morning too

I see Comair still fly to DUR via JNB, do you think they are likely to allow that change? (Call centre too busy to accept calls unsurprisingly). This topples the whole 2 week holiday arrangements so I really want to keep options alive. I'm aware Reward availability to JNB or CPT are likely to be hens teeth.

Call the BA Exec Club, assuming no status. I used 020 3250 0145 and chose the options to talk about an Avios booking (I think). The other numbers kept cutting me off too.

If your end destination is Durban, I believe they will re-route you either via JNB or CPT. CPT for the Northern Summer 2021 is only a 3-class 777. Our flight in April 2021 is showing as Club Suite

To be honest they're probably doing you a favour. I've been on hold for an hour now.

I seem to remember late afternoon / early evening is the best time to call.
