Does anyone have a view that further gateways will open up including PHL or is it BA just been speculative. If further gateways are not opened I suspect BA will have to cancel these Sept PHL flights.
fyi - BA currently serves PHL with three cargo only flights with a 788.

I also see - BWI, LAS, TPA fights starting Sept which are not current US gateways.
I am booked on BA's B789 (initially A350) LON-PHL flight scheduled for 02 Sept but am almost certain it will get cancelled; there is no way PHL will open to international passenger flights in the near future.

LHR - BCN seems to be paired back to 3 a day in September. Just had the 10.10am flight back to LHR cancelled on us for Sept 2nd.

Tks for the update - you view about PHL opening up to international flights is the same as mine - I will hold off booking any direct flights for the foreseeable future.

Time changes just loaded for INV flights. Switched from morning to afternoon.
0700 -> 1555 departure - so no connection to JFK for me!
Saturday morning phone call ahead.

My INV evening flight was similarly cancelled which suits me as I can get a full refund. I wanted to cancel as the trip to PDX was cancelled on Thursday. No need or point to go.

I tried for weeks to work with Malaysia Airlines. I was even willing to take their vouchers, but the vouchers will expire before my son finishes school. I only needed MA to extend the voucher by two weeks as he finishes the first week of July, but the vouchers expire on June 30, 2021 and MA would not budge. So, I have now put in a claim with my Virgin Atlantic Credit Card and hoping for a charge back as well.

Some flights to Split have been cancelled. Surprising given theyve been expanding their leisure offering.

Chargeback

Five calls to BA without answer after 10 mins 2X.

Cut off 3X

Can't get refund online.

Just sent M & S Chargecard a Chargeback with screen shots of all attempts..

It includes a claim for costs.

Note M & S dont credit refunds received in a statement charging period - it credits in the subsequent charging period. (So I'm making an interest free 7 week loan!)

How are BA accounting for these" fake" revenues?!

Seems Istanbul has gone from 2 flights a day to one, irony is I was supposed to book the afternoon flight out but then decided go with the morning only as it was a more social time to arrive in Turkey

Unsurprisingly our LHR-ORD flight was switched from a 380 to 789. I noted that the earlier daily flight on the 744 was cancelled on our departure day (19th).

Booked those tickets in January and now there is no real reason to go as two of the three events were postponed for a year and I really don't want to take the risk in the US right now, so will probably take the voucher and shift the flights to next year, same dates.

The 355 has now reappeared as bookable with later flights on the same day having changed, still a lot of movement in September by the look of it!
