Was scheduled on the cancelled TLV flight in November, haven’t received any communication, but looked at the flights are missing on my booking. Can I request a move to an AA flight since it’s a codeshare? Otherwise I would need to overnight in LHR to keep my final destination.

Some perplexing changes on the BA216 to IAD in late November. Originally to have been an A380 daily, it switches to a 777-200 on 20 November, following which there are no BA216 flights at all until 26 November, where a 777-200 is used again for just two days, with the A380 being reinstated on 28 November. Not sure what the logic behind these changes is, but at least my return flight is on an A380 - for now.

Not sure if it belongs here.
I have LHR-DFW booked in December and it was originally scheduled on a A350 with CS. In July I received notification that the route has been changed to A380. Not happy about losing CS…

Sigh....
My nice Club Suite from EZE-LHR via GRU on an A350 next March (2023) has now been replaced by a non-stop on a 788
Would rather have kept my original itinerary and maybe it will change again as it seems like (nearly) all the new flights only have full fare buckets available for sale (J,W,Y)
Also, seems like the EZE-LHR is now 5 times a week non-stop
