6 hour flight time change-Questions on when to arrive at T5 early Am and lounge open?
Hi folks,
my jmk seems to have changed to 650am from 1155am on Saturday week (the 17th)
No seats are for sale can anyone check if that's because its full ? its BA 0650
Also what time would you need to be at T5 for that flight ? We will OLCI and be hand luggage only using fast track security travelling club Europe
Will the lounges be open for breakfast ?
Thank you

I would get to T5 around 0500, possibly 0530 at the latest - that would give you some time to have breakfast.
All lounges will be open and serving from 0500.
BA650 is shown as zeroed out that day (as is the BA flight from LCY) J0 C0 D0 R0 I0 Y0 B0 H0 K0 M0 L0 V0 N0 O0 Q0 S0 G0

None in MMB either
Still 1155am
But the official BA.com timetable for that day has changed to 6hrs later,so I'm assuming I will be informed ?
in fact tgeres 2 of the same flight,maybe Im reading the timetable wrong ?
Edit the BA 650 flight is also showing further down that list as being at 1155am
What's going on there ?
Super inquisitive and concerned obviously with the current goings on
Thanks everyone

That explains the problem. When you use
ba.com/schedules
it presents several days before and several days after the date you input. If you put in 17 July, the first date shown is 14 - shown in the screen shots as "(14)". And on the 14th the same flight goes silly early, whereas if you had touched the correct column, it would give (17) and the same flight leaves much later.
As it happens, once you are within 10 days of travel, you best use
ba.com/flightstatus
since that's an operational database and that also gives 11:55
That's a quiet time, relatively, you can safely turn up an hour early and make the flight, but 90 minutes means that even a C gate will be easy for you.
