That doesn't happen often, but when it does it indicates that there was insufficient cabin crew at the LGW end, but a returning crew at the JFK - so that service is best to operate. This also explains why you were not told anything (plus GGS don't think it's within their mandate). Presumably someone/thing made an announcement to know about going back to immigration? I hope you have been rebooked, may be some made it to LHR before the final Kennedy service.
As CWS states, FCRY, a lack of crew. It is an odd one as I also see TECY listed. Essentially though it is as CWS suggests. It did however suffer a tech issue int eh form of lightning strike damage which delayed its return out of JFK. MMD was also the frame that caused the overnight postponement of the 2065 to MRU which finally departed yesterday on MMA instead.

BA 2633 02MAY
ALC-LGW
1480km - Band 1 flight for UK261
1235 scheduled arrival
Actual arrival 1522
Reason for the delay given as a broken APU.
Can I assume code ZY means this is eligible for claiming?

ZY is rotational. If the broken APU affected the LGW-ALC then the delay would be ZO on that sector, ZY and the return. But no compensation due, you were not three hours late.

Anyone know what's been going on with BA525 (FLR-LHR) being canceled the last few days?
Assuming it's weather related, but when this happened a few weeks ago they did a quick ferry flight to PSA and then onward to LHR. These appear to be completely canceled even though the incoming from LHR (BA 524) was diverted to PSA.

Anyone know why BA188 EWR-LHR would be cancelled on June 6th? Just had the cancellation email and frustrated to be missing out on the 787-10, also messes up my plans a bit as I can’t leave any earlier and will need to now try get a flight from JFK.

It should indeed be straight forward, it is listed as 545 being delayed due to the aircraft swap on the 542 LHR-BLQ. The delay is due to a tech aircraft and awaiting the next available airframe. The tech issue was concerning emergency lighting. That will be more than sufficient info including your timings when filling out the CEDR form should they decide to be difficult.
Thanks to all for the advice

Happy to report that my EU261 claim was accepted today, 5 days after filing it (might be a record?) for the 3 hours and 3 minutes delay on BA755 back from Basel on Sunday evening. An oil leak was detected on the way in and had to be corrected. We were lucky that the crew had another sector to do after this one so they didn't get out of hours but I guess the flight to Brussels had to be cancelled in the aftermath.
I was confirmed £220 each will be paid within 14 days. Happy days !

Hi, please could someone check why BA7808 was cancelled on 30th June 2023? This is a codeshare with Loganair LM698 on the MAN-IOM route.

It is very odd since on 30 June BA7808 is still showing for sale on ba.com, and if I look at the LM site it is showing for sale under the LM flight number LM698.
So I am really not sure why you should have received any email saying it is cancelled. Tbh it seems if you call up you should be able to be put back on BA7808.

Sorry, typo, my bad. 30th May 2023 is the date I'm interested in to understand the cancellation reason?

Same for that date, LM still selling LM698 and BA still selling BA7808 - so I am still confused why you have received notice it has been cancelled.
Have you called BA to be put back on BA7808?

Hi everyone - I recently got around to filing a 261 claim for a flight cancelled last year at short notice, due to the Heathrow mandated capacity restrictions - BA declined the claim, is that correct? In case its relevant I was rebooked, but on the first flight of the day that really was not convenient and I would not have booked under normal circumstances.
