I gave BA a quick call - even though the agent could see that some of the flights were no longer on sale (i.e. zero'd out in all classes) he couldn't make any changes because the flights were still showing as operating - so he said we'll have to wait and see, and call back if/when the flights are actually cancelled.

I just received an email two days ago that my flight on Aug 22 has been cancelled. I called Iberia and they told I could rebook at any date until June 2021 with few exceptions (Christmas, Easter and some local holidays in Spain). I asked about the possibility of departing from Barcelona instead of Milan and they told me it probably would be accepted. I have to call back once I decide my new dates.

In the same vein as nilsrtw: Does anyone know if it's possible to rebook after the original departure date has passed or is the possibility of changing dates forfeited by original departure time? Situation in Colombia isn't looking great at the moment and it's hard to know when it will peter out, or perhaps Iberia might extend rebooking possibilities to beyond June 2021

That sounds good. Could I ask where you saw that? I ask because the only references I could see on the website are still for flights departing up to 31 August. Does the waiver for your flights in September apply in the same way as those - i.e. one date change is possible without paying any fare difference, up to the end of June 2021?

I will call Iberia later to see if I can change the destination. Colombia is pretty bad rn.

I called Iberia today and they confirmed that it's possible to change the dates up to the end of June 2021. As I booked on britishairways.com, they said that they can't proceed and I have to contact BA. British Airways on the other hand allows changes up to end of April but it has to be within the ticket validity (so until March 5th). After that date, the fare difference has to be paid. Did any of you had more luck?

So got a cash refund.
