BA (don’t remember the flight number) AMS to LHR on Mar 01 just got canceled. I think it’s because of the NLs extended flight ban to and from the UK. But this is the 3rd time I’ve had to rebook this AMS-LHR leg. 🙄

Does anyone have any insight into why Antigua is keeping a once per week service on Saturdays in March? I’d been confidently waiting for my cancellation for the 20th, but have now done some research and don’t think it’s coming! I see it’s still on sale for Saturdays only and operated the weekend just gone, it actually looked quite well sold in business this weekend and for the next couple of weeks.
As a side note, it’s an avios booking and when I went to see what dates in the autumn/winter might work, the availability in J and W across the Caribbean is non-existent, so I’m assuming the region is going to be more popular/expensive than ever next winter!

Any idea why my flight to TFS on 27th March is not yet cancelled? They've cancelled every other day of the week, I can't believe there are enough Spanish residents wanting to fly to make the flight viable? I don't want another voucher!

Don't forget that there are a lot of British people having summer houses in Tenerife and other islands, and if they have residency in Spain, they are allowed to leave the UK.

When was CUN-LGW service reduced to weekly?
BA have pulled some funny business in “losing” an Avios upgrade that had been held on a cash booking CUN-LGW on Friday 26th March.
They kindly moved my flight to Saturday 27th free of charge so I could still take advantage of the upgrade. Now I find out that the Friday flight was cancelled, which they neglected to mention!
So my question is: it it possible to find out on which date BA actually cancelled the flight?

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. Had ACE flights cancelled for the end of March that were booked last year. My understanding was if BA cancelled I could move to any flight with availability within a year of making my first booking?
These were revenue tickets in Y. But when I tried to move to dates I have available in August, I have been asked for over £800 extra. There are 3 of us travelling. Is this request for extra payment a mistake or have I completely misunderstood my rights if BA cancel?

Could it be that this would be close to the date that people travelling back to the UK under the new 90 days out of 180 EU rules have to return to the UK?
