LHR Weather Cancellations [22 June and 27 June]

Seems there's some adverse weather (t-storms I assume) expected for Heathrow tonight; BA has just proactively cancelled a slew of the evening s/h rotations, mine included. So far:

BA326/327 (CDG)
BA440/441 (AMS)
BA736/737 (GVA)
BA336/337 (ORY)
BA838/839 (DUB)
BA914/915 (FRA)
BA920/921 (STR)
BA956/957 (MUC)
BA994/995 (TXL)
BA1316/1317 (ABZ)
BA1336/1337 (NCL)
BA1345/1346 (LBA)
BA1402/1403 (MAN)
BA1419/1420 (BHD)
BA1492/1493 (GLA)

Anyone travelling tonight best double-check your flights!

No storms tonight - its reactionary to delays earlier inbound to LHR/LGW - many services were held over the channel and even over northern France prior to making an approach - Twitter suggests long queues for rebooking!

I stand corrected!

BA are marking it up in the cancellation as due to adverse weather (rather than "late incoming aircraft"), however that can be safely ignored then.

The Gold line have managed to rebook me onto another service tomorrow, however as expected nobody (in EC or CR) knows what the "within reason" limits are for hotels at GVA... I look forward to some fun later then when I put in a claim.

Yes they are getting quite a pasting on Twitter. Not sure why they don't put up a general proactive message like Easyjet do (although I haven't checked that the latter have done so either today). Various flights 3-4 hours delayed in the mid day section thus the reactionary issue.

I had the same "within reason" from the Gold Line re a Toulouse cancellation last year (French ATC) - the guy said "just don't go to The Ritz"!

We had severe thunderstorms and heavy rain in Berlin this afternoon. They may well be moving across the continent.

We had very nasty and aggressive thunderstorms here in Berlin earlier on this afternoon. I have noticed this at TXL previously, when flights have been substantially delayed and the Captain has told us that the reason for delay is that the airport imposes a safety ban on people walking out along beside the aircraft as it gets backed out from the stand, in case they are unfortunate enough to get struck by lightning during the process. Quite understandable!

Just been notified that my replacement flight in the morning has been cancelled as well; presumably as BA won't be positioning an aircraft out tonight.

Sigh...

BA 861 - 1715 from Prg -Lhr delayed until 2030 ish due Ts over the Channel.
The good news is that the Czk 210 voucher buys you a Panini and a Mocha at Costa Coffee (T2) - which is a way better offering than that to be found in the Menzies lounge

So back to the office it is then!

CS phone line just giving an announcement that they're not taking calls and hanging up. Nice. Online rebooking looks expensive, any point in trying the desks at LHR?
