BA 222 Status??
I’m on BA 222 this evening, BNA-LHR. I see the inbound BA 223 diverted to SNN and is still on the ground. BA is insisting my flight is on time. Short of bringing in a plane from ORD or somewhere, I don’t see that happening. Any insights on this flight or when BA will inform a cancellation? Also, what are current rules on compensation for delay/cancellation for BA?This is a connecting itin to an EU destination. Many thanks!

I think it’s departed SNN now. Your flight is showing an estimated departure of 0010 and estimated arrival of 1425. Does that result in you missing your onward flight from LHR?
The specific time frames for compensation in terms of a delay are show in the compensation guide thread, but it will depend on the reason for the delay.

Many thanks both. I do see it has now been updated in the few minutes since I first posted. We are laying over at LHR for a few days, then continuing on to MLA next week. Curious whether that entities is to EU or other compensation if the arrival into LHR is more than three hours late, which it may well be. Thanks again!

unless you get explicit communication from BA that it has changed, then no you must assume check in is open only at the original time.

Weather is pretty dodgy and soggy today here in the Nashville area with thunderstorms predicted to end around 4:15 pm(16:15) local time.
The awful cicadas have emerged today(at least around my home in Franklin which is a suburb 20 miles south of Nashville). But this should not be causing any disruption to flights but is unpleasant for all of us locals for about a month! Glad to be going to Florida next weekend!

Thanks all. Just got the email from BA that flight will depart at 23:45 with check in closing at 22:45. So very good we won’t have to wait out the delay at BNA. I assume no compensation for a medical divert? That’s a far secondary consideration of course, but just wondering. Thanks again.

I'd very interested to hear from the resident experts on this. It would be good to know your full itinerary because my understanding is that any compenstation (if it is payable - I'm not sure what the delay reason was) is only due based on a delay to your "final destination", which sounds like it would be MLA?

It added a new flight as BAW223N for the SNN to BNA section. For future reference, if you click on the flight history of the aircraft doing the journey it'll show you the new flight.
