No way TPA is happening (IMO), unfortunately.

Happy to report that other than a fairly minor time change (90 minutes later than originally booked) my LCY-NCE on September 1st and NCE-LCY on September 17th are still on, for now anyway.
I might take the opportunity to change both flights to 1 day prior given that the CGT is calling for a general strike in France on the 17th

if flying in December then your balance should not be payable until November (now 3 weeks before)
the balance due date in MMB won't change, but, fingers crossed, you won't get emails pestering for payment until the 'new' date

Presume that will disrupt over flights as well?

This covers both August and September dates but does anyone know what is likely to happen with Athens? We have flights leaving on Aug 28th and returning on Sept 2nd, at very good timings for us because there were, and still are 5 daily flights on each of those dates. I fully expected the 5 to get cut down to 2 or 3 but they are still all running. I was ready for some inconvenience being shifted to a different departure time but thought we'd know by now if that was likely to happen. I wondered if maybe they are waiting to see the results of the flash sale on bookings before cancelling maybe?

As mentioned upthread, many SFO - LHR flights cancelled in Sept. In my case BA286 on 18Sept and BA287 on 25Sept. The schedule seems to be reduced to the remaining one flight in either direction. Curious why BA would cancel these reservations instead of just putting people on the other flights, which are extremely lightly loaded.

I have flights and a non-refundable hotel booked for September 8th. I have noticed there are 5 daily flights and with my luck, my flight will not be cancelled. Can't travel as this was a trip with my best friend who lives in San Francisco. Her flight to London was cancelled ages ago and it is highly unlikely she will be able to fly to Europe anytime soon.

Indeed, I've just had every inbound flight to MAN cancelled for September. This will mean I will not be flying BA again until at least October, there are no connections to get me back home.

I am already a refugee to MAN. These cancellations make a few of my trips pretty impossible. I may have a look at NCL just for a change of scenery, otherwise it is on the train or just cancel the trip.

The scale of the cuts still going on in to September really shows how slow and long BA expect any recovery to be.

This September List seems to total over 160 Flights per weeks to USA------and 17 Flights per week to Canada which will almost certainly extent the current 14 day Quarantine for all visitors onwards from September 1.

Looks like a lot of wishfull thinking by BA---------most Canadians have given up the idea of any European trips until 2021
