BA85 - LHR - YVR delays
BA85 is showing a four delay tonight and a three hours plus delay tomorrow (same aircraft). It was only an hour late in getting in today.
Would some kind soul with EF be able to check the reason?
Many thanks

I am due to travel on todays BA209 to MIA. Yesterdays was operated by G-XLEG and had a 3 hour delay. Todays also shows a 3 hour delay with the same aircraft. I am already en route to the airport so will see if I have any joy switching to one of the two earlier AA departures.

Indeed they do. And I don't think all 12 are back in service. The YVR service switched from 777 to A380 on the 1st June and it's been very poor since.

Quite a lot of variables here but you only get delay compensation if you are delayed a minimum of 3 hours against the original scheduled arrival time. So check back here, or the EC261 thread, if it happens.

So how are BA going to 'catch up'? Self-interest here as I am on this flight in 7 days time! Are any more A380s coming out of mothballs?

BA would notify you or you’d see it in MMB. But these are delays, pure and simple.

I agree, I have had two flights on A380s on the LHR-BOS route cancelled on me in the last 5 days - Sunday for engine issues and yesterday for electrical issues.
