The issue is apparently adverse weather conditions in London today meaning my Edinburgh – LHR is cancelled so they cancelled my LHr to male as well and fully rebooked both flights until same times tomorrow…..However if weather conditions are so bad how is the lhr-male flight leaving?
Sorry to hear about this. ATC has reduced the flow owing to the weather which is bad at LHR, so all airlines have to comply with cutting schedules. BA will then decide which flights to cancel which usually prioritises long haul (particularly those with single daily flights) as the disruption (and recovery time) of those aircraft, crews and passengers in the wrong place is much greater. The weather is expected to be worse overnight tonight so there is some merit in getting to London today.
