I was scheduled DFW-LHR-BCN today Nov 5th on AA and then BA for the second leg. By chance I checked my reservation last night on the AA website only to find out that my BCN leg was no longer there. No notification whatsoever from BA. Called AA and I was rerouted via MAD instead. Really frustrating as if I hadn’t checked my reservation I would have gotten an unpleasant surprise when checking in at the airport and possibly not being able to be rerouted that same day.
This r/t trip BCN-DFW-BCN has resulted in a total of four flight cancellations with the following rebooking. The previous three I was promptly notified by AA about the changes. Traveling internationally today, especially with a connection, is definitely not for the faint hearted. No wonder private flying is on the up and up for those who can afford it.

We have a family friend who is BA CC. He has just flown to SIN with 46 passengers in Y, 14 in C -and none in F under his 'new' contract. This was his first flight in five months. He returns tomorrow to furlough until (up to) March.
Got email from BA this afternoon saying our flight ANU-LGW on 15th now cancelled. Not sure how we are going to get home. Worse places to get stuck I suppose.
oh dear, what a pity never mind, as the pub landlord would say.

Yes I have seen the plan
L/H almost all services stopped from 7/11- 2/12 the list is extensive and the start and end dates Slightly vary
S/H Lots of routes the same
S/H most domestic running but drastic frequency reductions from the 15th
A few S/H Euro flights but very reduced frequency
So it’s close to shutdown aligned with U.K. lockdown

It seems I may be able to see options once the flight has been removed from the system. Heard via somebody else we may have some news in morning.
Looks as if there may be some repatriation flights, which will mean cutting short our holiday. Not ideal, but can’t really blame BA either. Lots of their staff much worse off than us.

Due to travel LHR-GLA on 10/11. This morning the app says it’s cancelled, BA.com flight status page says it cancelled (only one rotation operating that day), but you can still book it on BA.com and the call centre claim it’s going ahead... I’ve already booked a replacement train ticket and look forward to the refund battle, but it really is a bit of a sh*tshow.
And the BA booking was to replace an already cancelled EZY booking into the bargain.
(Before anyone tells me how badly airlines are suffering I know first hand, I’m going to LGW for an LPC)

BA customer service is working better this time. Email on 2 Nov to say, as expected, that our ANU trip booked for 22 Nov was off, options outlined, SMS to follow. Txt duly arrived later in the day, simple reply of 1 digit (the option) and full refund credited the next day. I have no complaints.
