My flights from LCY-EDI were cancelled today for 15/9 and 20/9 (for our elopement after we pushed our "big" wedding out to 2023). Have re-booked the outbound, and then the inbound got cancelled. Quite awkward timing now unfortunately.
Hoping that our flights to Greece for the 21/9 aren't also cancelled..

My mistake.

Did notice the fare for F on BA 286 was a cool $12,000+!
I'm on the Sep 23 SFO-LHR BA 284 flight in CW. I hope the robust bookings earlier in Sep are an indication that my late Sep flight will stick?

But if BA does cancel, I hope they do it sooner rather than later so I can rebook on AA (I am booked AA codeshare on BA).

LHR-MAH plane change, outbound time change by more than 5 hours.
Will leave that open, good reason to cancel if Balearics remain on danger lists.
Sigh.

SFO-LHR Sept 5th changed from A380 to 773 by the looks of the seat map. Sadly not showing as a club suites config.

Genuinely now starting to wonder if it will be next spring before the US reopens.

September is a lifetime away in BA aircraft configs that will actually fly. Expect a few more changes before then so I wouldn’t panic just yet.

Fully expecting MIA’s 209/8 to lose it’s 380 at any day now. It was still there at about 10am this morning…..

When I booked a NYC trip, for Sept 21, last autumn I was sure things would be a lot better. It seemed unfathomable that the US would still be shut to us and airlines would be barely flying.

Im slowly feeling this winter will be like the last and travel won’t start properly till S22.

Just got the emails that affect my AMS and CDG flights in early September. Looks like AMS-LHR is going down to only twice daily and LHR-CDG is either twice or thrice daily, on alternating days (sort of). My mind is just not processing that this is still happening.

I've got a Dubai trip booked for early September. I just assumed things would be back to normal(ish) by then... I just want the flights cancelled to put me out of my misery (and let me get my money back!).

I have a reservation coming up that includes FRA-LHR in early September.
No cancellation yet and hoping that BA will have returned to FRA by then.

Looks like the MEX schedule has finally been trimmed for September from 7 days a week to 4 (M, W, F, S) Only 27th Sep - end of October shows 7 days a week flights now and I expect that to come down to 4 eventually. Just wish they would hurry up and do so as it will impact one of my flights!

I rebooked my trip to SCL from Oct last year to Sept of this year thinking it would be fine but given the current situation I am fully expecting the Sept schedule to go which means looking for Avios availability again (rather than rebook into an F bucket) due to ticket validity running out (this always seems a bit unfair to me).
