Surely, they’ll most likely re-route you via JFK if schedules work or then AA/AY combo via central Europe/LHR
AA to LHR at 19.05 is wide open so good option to re-route status/J pax on that..would be my guess..and then continue with AY 359 to HEL tomorrow

It’s early in the day on that side of the pond but if I were you I’d be prepared for irrops flight change.
They of course have one option, cancel JFK-ARN (combine pax into AY6) and move that plane to ORD for the HEL flight. AY30 has been zeroed out so might well be in the works as we chat..

Unfortunately connection is via EWR, but hopefully doable.

One thing namely I wish here we are lacking data points on irrops and other flight change options jow handled, what got, etc.
EK and QR used to have such great rebookings etc during covid but some of them vlosed by now. AY has been the worst IME what comes to irrops, rebookings, ec261.

Well now they have cancelled the return from ORD as well..it’s pathetic that WA CS denied that few hours ago as obviously no AY plane was heading to ORD today..

Isn't it quite typical that before the airline operations have officially cancelled the flight, the front line staff know nothing about it. The same applies to delays.

Ouch, I can understand your frustration. Sometimes I wonder if they just don't know, or if they are deliberately misinforming...

For us who travel, it is routine procedure to check at an outstation if the plane is en route and on schedule. But CS doesn't do that. For them, the plane operates as scheduled even if we can tell them it is impossible.
