British Airways
I had the same communication, and was due to travel on a BA Holiday this month. I received an e-mail on Saturday saying a refund is being issued as they can no longer provide the holiday. I received a further e-mail on Monday morning saying the flight is going to head and to re-arrange or request a voucher. 10 mins later I had a voice mail from them asking to get in touch.
I got through this morning as the call centre opened, and they say a refund has been issued. They admitted the e-mail yesterday was mistakenly sent to everyone where as those who had already received an e-mail notification of a refund should have been omitted from it.

Terminal Closures
http://www.simpleflying.com/heathrow...4-closure/amp/
Terminal closures with Terminal 4 more than likely closing and British Airways consolidating their flights at Terminal 5.
Who could have imagined this scenario happening only a few weeks ago.
There were a few poster's, well two actually who were suggesting from one of my posts that British Airways wouldn't retire their fleet of Boeing 747's because they were "bought and paid for and were cheap to run because of the lower price of oil". I hate to say it but I told you so.
Very sad situation, it's all turned into a complete and utter nightmare for all concerned. How long it will take to get over this situation is anyone's guess, probably years tbh.

BA have a much lower demand now and have plenty of twin jets which but significantly less fuel than 747. Irrespective of the fuel price the reality is that they will want to operate the unit that will burn less fuel. The newest long haul twin jets are in the fleet and cannot be sent back!!! If that were so, then using the 747s at lower fuel unit cost would make sense. But that's not possible!

11 BA short haul aircraft flying into BOH today plus another 10 tomorrow. Others have already gone there in the past few days. CWL have received a number of aircraft in the past few days too.

This is great news for CWL and BOH in the current situation, although probably not massive sums, any parking charges will help there business, just a shame SOU hasn't been able to do similar.

Purely a thought, but they may well be chasing unpaid landing/parking charges for those aircraft as it is.

Please accept my apologies for posting the Scum but it is the only source at the moment because the company and TU are saying very little.
Someone in the know is obviously on the Scum's payroll.

On the positive side, the is surely a very good opportunity for BA to fit their now Club World seat on all their long haul aircraft, 747’s excepted. In normal circumstances I believe this was going to take them about 3 years to do.
