Anyone internally know if there are more flights like this due in August? Given that flight schedules are still reduced, lots of long haul aircraft are idle and cargo is still in demand, it would seem a no brainier.

Also worth flagging that NL has removed the advisory quarantine for UK Arrivals!

Unfortunately First and Premium Economy seats seem to be zeroed out close to flight date. Reserved myself a PE seat which got changed into a normal economy seat overnight within the 72-hour range before the flight.

If there is any and assuming it follows the same schedule it might be the one at 8:20 AM from London Heathrow. But nothing is confirmed yet, 787 is being temporarily used in some routes but this doesn't mean that there will be one in September.

Roger, we need to go in AM on 3rd so might as well book the 8:20 and see what happens. Nothing wrong if we end on a320

The 787-8 has appeared on my flight to Athens in August - pleased I paid for the CE upgrade now!

Decided to book on it.

Flying 23/7 tomorrow out on BA430 (B787-8) and back on BA441 (A319).

Feeling oddly excited!

Haha, sir will do 🙈

The 23rd indeed is the correct date. Thanks for this - scared me for a second!
