My flights to Heathrow on 9th July returning on 25th July have both just been cancelled.

They were connecting for flights to Los Angeles and Honolulu booked as a BA holiday. Wasn’t expecting to go anyway due to Covid - 19.

Waiting on BA to contact me for my refund.

From reading Flyertalk, BA holidays have been pretty decent in providing refunds.

Ten minutes on the phone, including waiting for call to be answered, and money is now on way back to me.

The lady I was talking to suggested two daily flights GLA- LHR in July

Contacted BA for cash refund for my daughter's flights to/from British Virgin Islands in late July on Saturday. Got through right away to a very pleasant lady in India who actioned refund stating it would be back on my credit card in 7-10 days . . . . back on my credit card in 2 days.

Well done BA

That's good going.

Compare that to Lufthansa, who cancelled some planned April flights for me on 18 March. I was still waiting on a refund until last week, when I gave up and went Sec.75 route. Subsequently credited within 48 hours by the card provider.

Lufthansa is next on my list after cancelling return flights to Budapest via Frankfurt for my wife & eldest daughter

WestJet & Air Transat to/from Toronto flights for eldest daughter now in travel credit accounts

London City resuming today, with a single rotation BA8722/3, operated by G-LCYT.

Was booked on BA1468 going home from work mid August. A 12hr layover in London arriving from BGI early hours at Gatwick was not tempting. So I decided the train was a better option to Glasgow.

Resumption of Gatwick's short-haul operations pushed back from 07 Sep to 09 Nov

I will be surprised if BA's GLA-LCY/LGW/LHR combined frequency reached 30% of last year for the rest of 2020

[GKirk]

I'd be surprised if LGW returns at all

You could be right. Faster hearing John Holland-Kaye in yesterday’s news talking about LHR losses BA schedules could all be accommodated from LHR given reductions in frequency, less domestic business travel, less VFR, leisure travel etc, etc.

That then puts into question the 200MAX order, 777s, and Airbus 319-350.

So are BA closing their LGW base or are they not?
