  • Tracey says:

    Seychelles should be on that list, restarted in October, twice a week from Heathrow.

  • Anna says:

    The Nassau – Grand Cayman route is only Nassau at the moment, apart from a fortnightly repatriation flight to GCM.

  • Ben says:

    For anyone wondering. Mahe Island is the Seychelles. Edit required to make this clear?

  • Chris says:

    I was hoping my Orlando flight was going to get cancelled, better do something about them! I don’t understand who is flying to Orlando right now though?!

  • Louise K says:

    I am booked on the BA280/281 Lhr/lax – do we really think they will operate additional flights to LA?

  • Jonathan says:

    The St Lucia-Grenada hop is also not running at the moment as Grenada can’t cope with wide body jets due to lack of firefighting equipment. You have to connect via. Barbados or USA.

  • David says:

    6 daily to JFK seems unlikely. I just flew that (currently 2x daily) and there were only about 40 people on board.

    • Alex says:

      I was thinking that too. Unless cargo justifies it, 6 daily sounds overkill.

  • Mark says:

    Know this has been asked a 100 times so sorry. If my reward flight is cancelled I assume I just get all my avios/cash/241 back in my account and saves me the £35 pp fee if I cancel it myself? Supposed to be flying to Singapore on Xmas day but can’t see the borders being open. Don’t want to pay the cancellation fee if I can help it.

    • Rob says:

      Correct, wait. It doesn’t even need to be cancelled, you just need a time change of 2-3 hours.

      I cancelled my VS Barbados flight last night. We were going tomorrow. I felt a little bad cancelling at very short notice, since we decided a few weeks ago we weren’t going, but I was on the hook for 4 x cancellation fees. Sure enough, on Monday I got an email from Virgin saying my return flight had moved from Sunday to Monday. This let me cancel yesterday and avoid £100+ in fees.

      I also saved the fee on our Muscat booking (half term first choice) by waiting until BA cancelled it. Another £140 saved.

      I did pay the £140 on our Dubai flights, which was Plan B after Muscat, and before Barbados became Plan C. I could have cancelled that a month earlier but I held out in hope of saving the money.

      • Nick says:

        Rob fyi – a sneaky change BA pushed out quietly a couple of months ago. Schedule change allowing cancellation has doubled to 240 mins (end-to-end in the case of connections).

        • Lady London says:

          4 hours? I think that’s unreasonable.

          • Rhys says:

            I can’t find it in their terms of carriage. Where is it set out?

          • Jonathan says:

            For long haul on a tourist route? Not sure leaving eg. Barbados or Cape Town at 9PM vs 5PM is an inconvenience for most people. Short haul or a business focused route like JFK maybe.

        • Jonathan says:

          For Rhys, it’s in the standard customer guidelines

          britishairways.com/en-gb/traveltrade/bookings-policies/policies/standard-customer-guidelines#schedule

          • Rhys says:

            Thanks – odd that it isn’t in the conditions of carriage!

          • Nick says:

            Rhys, yes it is in the conditions of carriage… look harder!!

            @LL – it’s actually bringing it more into line with other airlines. With reduced schedules during covid there are fewer opportunities to rebook people. I don’t like it (a mild statement) but I do think it’s ‘reasonable’. Only way to test that though would be to go to court…

      • Brian says:

        Where are you going instead?

    • Nick says:

      Yes you do, but note the flight has to be cancelled, not just that you choose not to be on it. SIN has actually been operating fairly regularly regardless of certain nationalities’ immigration restrictions.

      • Mark says:

        Thanks but if they continue the 4x a week pattern into December my flight will be cancelled as it’s a Friday so we’ll see.

        Thanks Nick and Rob.
