My LHR-LAX in mid March changed from 380 to 789. Return from SFO still showing as 380 but that might be because it's on 31st, which I assume will be the summer timetable? All irrelevant of course unless something major changes. So much for my 50% Avios booking if all stays as is!!

Our flight BA62 SEZ-LHR 7th March has been cancelled and rescheduled 24 hours later on 8th March, inbound flight is still scheduled to arrive into SEZ on the 7th, I am assuming this is so that the aircraft and crew can night stop in SEZ then return to LHR after minimum rest? Looks like all BA62 flights through 26th of March are affected.
Sadly I chose to cancel and took the full refund, as I doubt we would of been able to travel off Guernsey without mandatory 14 day quarantine on return by then anyway.

LHR-EZE direct has been cancelled from March 28. It's back to the BA247/246 with a stop at GRU.
Good news is now operated with A350-1000 with Club Suites (previously 772, recently 788)

I wonder if BA will go back to 6th freedom flights on GRU-EZE. Doesn't look like it for now (but would be very welcome addition for OW given QR is not back yet)

Think it was mostly 787-9s and 77Ws from restart; November was scheduled to be 787-8 but ended up being mostly 787-9s; it's now back to 77W. (Although there have been random cargo flights supplanting the 246/247 using a variety of equipment). Quite surprised the A351 is being planned - it's a route I had always thought justified an F cabin, but I was planning on going in summer 21 anyway, so.....

Looks like the LGW to JFK rotation has been nobbled up to July at least. I have cancellations for return 29th May to 3rd June and one leg JFK to LGW on 13th July (outbound on the 8th is still there though).
Not unhappy though as I have the pick of the LHR flights.

Not just reward space - no paid space either. BKK looks to have been pulled completely. BKK-HKG-LHR on CX then BA seems to be the alternative route home on BA.

I assume ICN, KUL, and BKK will return in 2022 once Asian countries reopen their borders? The very strict border restrictions in Asia must be having a real knock on for these. Does anyone know how good the loads are on routes to 'open countries' such as Brazil and Kenya?
