October SH Schedule

Hey guys, I have a GLA-LHR-PMI return booked for October.
I have annoyingly double booked and I'm hoping this will be cancelled/changed enough for me to move flights.
Any insight/thoughts on how concrete these plans might be?

I know I could go for FTV but booked these flights, originally booked for Jan, at a super good value so want to keep the value in the flights. (Rebooking is 4x the price).

TIA

Crystal Ball Time

I'd like to think one of the four legs could be cancelled / significantly time changed, however GLA is performing well and probably likely to get more service rather than cancelled... so it's on the PMI. You don't have to make a decision until the day before, and most changes seem to be happening around 5-2 weeks prior, with longhaul quite steady around five weeks

Totally appreciate Crystal Ball being overused the last 18months!
Thanks for the insight, perfect.

Would normally agree, but it’s been tricky getting through on the phone if you need to

Same here, I had two AMS flights cancelled for October. Unfortunately both will involve a call to BA - call to BA last week for another matter took 2hrs30mins so hoping for something a bit quicker today!

Our LHR CDG flights were culled leaving very limited options for our feeder flights…

Is it likely/possible there will be a further change/additional flights added on the route nearer the time or should we accept we’re now stuck with rubbish flight time and connections?

My Glasgow flight got cancelled but only moved to another flight an hour later... Can I still move dates or is this gonna be a no from BA?

You can move but only within -2/+2 of the original date.

In the past I've been able to move weeks and months in advance, what's triggering the +/-2 days?
The flight has been cancelled and I've been asked to accept new flights.
