Given the travel restrictions to the US are still in place, I’m sure there will be a lot of passengers waiting for the cancellation so they can get a refund rather than a travel voucher.
I wouldn’t expect the number of passengers currently holding reservations to equate to anywhere near the number of passengers squeezing into the few flights that will actually operate.

Had some pruning of Manchester afternoon flights for August, some days the 1140 is now the last one of the day.
Not that I'm complaining, the free change it's permitted has turned an overnight at LHR before going upto ABZ the next morning into a same day affair that was previously FAR too expensive for my liking.

LHR-LAS on the 14th officially cancelled today after getting zeroed out last week. I will wait to see if there is any news about the PP getting lifted before making any decisions but I can't see it happening any time soon TBH.

Are all the flights in BA's system returning zeros right now for August? I've done numerous searches, and then search the flight on the retail site (BA or AA websites) and they're bookable. Glitch or massive backlog of August pulldown?

Oh ok, thank you- I just used another system and now inventory is showing available.
Do you know if BA allows pre 24 hour (or day of departure) assignment of seats for main cabin? Or, is it similar to club world, where seat assignment must be paid for non qualifiers?

BA LHR to PHX pushed back another week, for about the 7th time. Now restarts August 16th - Ha ha, no way will US UK be open by then. US has a problem with Delta Variant and now Delta Plus, no one in their right mind woud open up travel to US citizens when its impossible to know if they are vaccinated.
