I don't think that BA would pause their IAD route and probably the zeroing that you see is an error.

Ah well those are good signs: Expertflyer shows it all zero'd out with a US point of sale, but UK point of sale looks normal. Fares price on the US version of BA.com as well, so hopefully just a glitch. Apologies for making any hearts beat faster

IST down to single daily until the start of the S21 season.
BA 676/677 service cancelled.
Only the night-stopper BA680/675 service would operate with modified hours with a 12:30ish LHR departure and a 9:30ish IST departure.

My March 25 BRU-LHR BA399 cancelled this morning. Which Is good because it was part of a convoluted booking that I want to cancel anyway - Now just need LH to cancel the LHR-WDH flights for the 26th and I'll plan something less complicated flying out of mainland Europe.

I’m guessing something similar about to happen for all the high frequency short haul destinations, given for the most part this is what Feb largely looks like already.

Just had this cancellation through:
BA1441 EDI to LHR
24 March 2021
It was the first leg of a long haul trip that we are not optimistic can go ahead, so will cancel the whole thing for refund now rather than rebook. I need to remind myself what happens re refund of seating fees.

Ditto for earlier in the month - SOF on 12/15 March.
Be careful with the various emails though. I initially got one to say that one of my speculative SOF B2Bs had been 'delayed', which looked a bit odd. Subsequently got another message which says the original flight is cancelled which obviously now means I can cancel - whereas if I had accepted the delay I would be stuck with it.

LGW to PUJ 18th March cancelled, no flights until 20th March. Part of a holiday booking that was rebooked after cancellation March 2020. Probably going to rebook again for later in the year.

My early March LHR-AGP cancelled last night, was only £40 a person and handful of Avios. Called up today - two min wait - rebooked for May late Bank Holiday weekend, no trouble. Cash fares were £359 each so a great result 
also getting a few more Avios and TPs 
lesson - don’t rush for a voucher or refund, do your research
