BA keep cancelling and restating this flight. Moving us out of pre selected seats each time.
So frustrating getting the “sorry your flight has been cancelled” text message everyday this week now.

Every time that email comes through I **** myself and think they've cancelled it!
But, had a couple of discussions with QR about the flight given it's our Honeymoon in the hope they don't cancel it!

My wife has been ringing me in a panic as she gets the email notifications of the cancellations each time also.
Fingers crossed there’s no problems for you.

Online check in unavailable for me. No problem as we’ll just check in at the airport.
Can’t find info on what time the check in desk closes, surely the recommended getting to the airport 3 hours before departure is a bit excessive.
We will have an infant with us so what’s the advice from past experiences of Edinburgh?

So, another BA cancelled message, seemingly BA's website's not able to show future booked flights at the moment anyhow. Our flight to Bordeaux's not showing on there either. But, on the Qatar app, our flights showing as MAN to DOH, DOH to PEN. Then PEN to DOH, but our DOH to MAN return leg is missing entirely. ???

We had a similar issue, we are booked on MAN-DOH-CNX CNX-DOH-MAN end Feb/beginning of March. We've had multiple cancellations this week and since the last messages, I noticed the CNX-DOH flight was missing. I gave it 36 hours and rang BA, dreading what I might hear 
. It turned out the DOH-MAN is the part creating issues, as there are multiple flight cancellations by QR, according to BA due to "technical issues at Doha", and they wanted to route us CNX-DOH-LHR (overnight)-MAN. After a lot of back and forth, we were offered the direct DOH-MAN a day before, or the via LHR route on our original planend date. We eventually managed to renegotiate onto an earlier DOH-LHR flight to prevent the overnight at Heathrow. We actually live 30 miles from LHR, but had booked from MAN when these prices came up as my parents are about 7 miles from there. Anyway all sorted in the end and although I wasnt keen on the extra connection, at least I'll bag an extra 40 BA TP!

Spoke to BA, sorted out the disappearing return flight. No cancellation of the DOH-MAN leg, so no switch to LHR.
Still, some of the 773s used are QSuite versions and some of the flights are starting to use A359s, some with QSuites, some without. So a chance of them, but even so the 2-2-2 777 seat doesn’t look bad. Main hope is the 787s used from DOH-PEN don’t turn back to A333.
