Is this list really accurate? Trinidad and Tobago is on it for example, but you go to the FCO page for it, and it says: The Trinidad and Tobago government has closed its borders to all international flights indefinitely. Sea borders are also closed indefinitely to all vessels including yachts.

Turkey is very popular route into the USA currently (if you spend 2 weeks there you can then enter) so at least some demand will be unaffected since that was one way. But yes a whole bunch of FTVs for those cheapo CE flights will be currently being requested I am sure!

I do think IST will stay though, perhaps with fewer rotations, but can’t be much hope for the other Turkish routes once people have been returned.

I wonder if that route may be closed off sooner rather than later. UK action seems to be related to Turley under reporting their stats.

By the way, for tomorrow ( 2 October )
TK has scaled up all their IST-LHR and IST-LGW services to 777-300ER, also adding an additional 777-300ER flight to Gatwick.
Plus some extra flights from the south as well.
BA has taken no special arrangement for tomorrow to allow passengers to travel to the UK before the quarantine requirement starts.

I think the idea is that any route which has strong point to point traffic, especially "commuter routes" (and a surprising number of European destinations have weekly commuters) with families split between the two ends of the route, sometimes with little choice but to continue some level of travel even if it means quarantining one or both ways. I'm unsure about Turkish routes as many were seasonal at the best of time, though anticipating potential future changes, I'd guess that a number of Greek and Italian destinations will match that description and retain some frequencies even if the countries are added to the quarantine lists.

We have quite a bit of comparison with other routes by now. When Spain was added to the quarantine list, frequencies reduced quite drastically, but few routes were closed entirely, and frequencies to a number of destinations have now stabilised. Same story in France. For NCE, for instance, the frequencies were abruptly cut from 5 daily to 1 daily, but then moved slightly up to 1-2 daily and are now due to go up to 3 daily to LHR plus 10 weekly LCY despite the quarantine undoubtedly continuing for the foreseeable future.

I have a question about potential cancellations in October. If I now book a flight for within 14 days and BA cancels / moves me to a different flight (more than 2/3 hours apart), am I owed compensation (assuming no changes to travel advise etc.) or just a refund ?
I’m trying to assess if it’s now “save” to finally book BA to DUS again. They’re still showing 3 flights for most days in the middle of October and only the late ones will work for me.

If your flight is merely retimed you are only due a refund if the retiming is 240 minutes or more.
In terms of compensation the change may be within scope if cancelled and rebooked, but it will come down to what the reason was and whether it was caused by extraordinary circumstances which could not have been avoided even if all reasonable measures had been taken - at that stage I am sure BA will invoke the coronavirus card!
