I'm going to book HKG for January in F - If it does get cancelled does anyone know what alternative BA might offer? No other OW Carriers fly to HKG with an F Cabin. I was in a similar position in January this year when my SIN was cancelled and there was no other OW Carriers, in that case they re-routed me to HKT and on QR F.

It'd update eventually - there are two processes, the first for schedule changes and then a second "crawl" looking for illegal connections. If you want to you can call in and get something else or push them to do the update, but don't forget you've also the right to a refund until you accept. This may be a good option for those holding Japan bookings, especially for this year so don't be too quick to accept/rebook!

My BA28 return has been removed from the schedule so I guess it's only a matter of time until BA formally confirm it isn't flying.
Out of curiosity, if BA cancel a HKG flight, is Cathay the default alternative for rebooking?

I’m hoping that any rebooking would result in a change to the later JAL flight.

FYI, issued a new ticket today with earlier flight to be able to connect to BA5. I didn’t need to intervene so everything was automatically done as suggested.
Thanks for the advice, it put my mind at ease while I waited for the new ticket to be issued.

Not sure. Looking at the schedules on BA.com it looks like they have started the re-scheduled flight times about the middle of November. Everything prior to that from when the flight is due to resume at end of October still shows the original schedule.

Hi JackDann - I had a First booking to HKG cancelled for mid August 22 and when I enquired into alternatives the only offer on the table was Cathy J. I asked about a transfer to a destination elsewhere in the region (eg SIN) but that wasn’t something they were prepared to entertain. On this occasion I was reasonably sympathetic to their position.
