i wouldn’t worry about ALC moving away from LHR
Indeed four days later, I checked and they are remaining at LHR. I am pleased as really I would have been surprised if LGW will be opening before the summer holidays if then.

Yup, it's in process. Was a faff to sort out though (something wrong with the ticket and wouldn't show on AA systems).

Bye bye 440TPs.

My LHR-BWI (&vv) still clinging on to the May (and June) bookings ... wonder how long for - ... and still being offered upgrades from CW to F (where F doesn't exist).

My LHR-SEA-LHR mid-May is zero'd out on EF, but still ticketed and running according to BA.

Moving the Lloyds voucher will be fun!

We just had some tickets SEA-LHR-JNB on May 7 and 9 cancel. No surprise.

I can see the BA280 I am booked onto on 14 May is now unavailable to book.

Anyone had a cancellation yet assuming that is coming
Edit: LAX-LHR

The BA280/281 rotation to LAX has been zeroed out until Monday May 17th, but nothing has been cancelled yet in May. Due to the level of cancellations across the network through to the end of May, I expect BA are moving through the dates triggering cancellations to avoid a high volume of calls hitting their call centres all at once.

Have to say their strategy is working. I had a LHR-CDG flight for mid May cancelled on Monday, I called in early on Tuesday evening, only 10 minute wait to talk to agent. Avios redeposited immediately and taxes refunded to my bank this morning.
really can’t fault the service!

Cancellation emails for LUX flights over the late May bank holiday received this morning. Flights were zeroed out until 7 June about a week ago.

BA15 LHR-SIN cancelled on 17th May. Have been rebooked onto BA11 on 18th but will take this opportunity to get a refund. Shame, it was a 50% Avios booking but I cant see Singapore letting us in before October even if we feel safe enough to travel.

Got my cancellation email for BA280 and BA281 (LHR-LAX-LHR) for the 4th and 12th May. Both flights were booked during the 50% Avios promotion so I'm unable to change the dates on the MMB

The cull of flights to Barbados I mentioned a few days ago has been confirmed with both my outbound and return flights in May having now been cancelled.

Changed without fuss for me too.

Went almost to the day of the 1 year validity, no additional Avios (booked in 50% sale).

Very happy.

For April, SFO has revered to the Wednesday, Friday, Sunday cadence... and that runs into May, until the 17th (when daily flights are scheduled) currently!
