  Due to fly LHR-TFS on 13 November with BA, however when I try to upgrade from economy to Club in the app it now says nothing available. When looking for a new seat for cash there’s no availability, this was after the aircraft being changed from an A320 to A321 a week ago.

  I suspect this flight has been pulled.

    Last non stop flight to TFS is Monday after that all flights go over Madrid an into Tenerife North instead of TFS.

  There must be flights going out otherwise people abroad can’t return

    It’s cheaper for BA to reroute on other carriers than fly down empty and bring 10 people back.

    The snag is that the reroutes will involve changing aircraft in other countries and will trigger quarantine for people who thought they were avoiding it.

      Exactly why we didn’t move our Seychelles trip forward by a few days. The idea of being stuck out there would have been great if someone else was footing the bill, but if BA cancelled flights and routed is via Dubai (seems the only other option) that would mean isolation on return as well as sourcing another covid test in the Seychelles. Add to that the hassle of finding somewhere in the UK that would do a 48 turnaround on a covid test at short notice pre-lockdown and we decided to forego the trip. Just waiting to see if BA actually cancel either flight for a refund before we have to accept yet another voucher.

  There is a general prohibition on leaving home without a “reasonable excuse” under 5(1). However, 5(2)(a) says that 6 sets out examples of what constitutes a “reasonable excuse”. 6(g) lists various matters to do with properties, including under (ii), viewing properties with a view to buying, or renting them. There is no requirement that these properties be located in the UK and therefore you can travel abroad for this purpose.
