CONFIRMED - BA to move some Orlando flights from LGW to LHR 25OCT for Winter/Summer 20/21

[stanleycamel]

CONFIRMED - BA are moving some flights from Gatwick to Heathrow at the start of winter/summer 20/21 timetables on Sunday Oct 25th. Cancellation emails going out now. It is confusing as BA still show the BA2037 LGW-MCO service in their timetable which is what I was originally booked on - so will have to wait and see what happens with that one.

Flight details

BA 205 dep LHR 14.15 arr MCO 1855
BA 204 dep MCO 2110 arr LHR 1015 +1

Edited to add that BA have still scheduled some flights from Gatwick so the situation is not as clear cut as it seemed at first - might be worth checking your flights against the timetable section on ba.com as the situation is very fluid.

Edited to add my post from below #

I received a cancellation email from BA @15.54 and went straight in to MMB and PNR now amended to include my domestic and LHR-MCO at no charge - now same day instead of overnight at LGW. Only thing I can't do is choose my seats as waiting for e-ticket to be re-issued first.

Perhaps I should put in a request on the Is my Flight full thread" HA HA - flight loads will be all over the place as will seat reservations so please give it time to settle before anyone puts in a request. Thanks in advance.

Edited to add latest up to date information 30/7 10am

The changes to Orlando flights for the Winter 20/21 schedule from Nov 17th have become a little clearer overnight so here is an update of what we know so far.

I've just had the email saying my LGW - MCO flight on 29th November is cancelled. Seems a little early for them to cancel it on the usual timescale they were working on so I think you could be right

DH return from MCO to Gatwick 26th november just come through as cancelled current 2 of his 4 flights gone

[Reunion]

Our return in Jan/Feb just cancelled from Gatwick and moved to Heathrow. I have literally just put the phone down to an agent at BA who said they're all moving to Heathrow - unoficially of course.
The good news we (assuming the flight goes ahead) we get the new Club suite

My return is in summer 21 schedule so that still shows as MCO-LGW.

For people who fly Gatwick to MCO do you think that will include April 2021 flights BA flights?

At the moment the summer 21 schedule is being worked upon by BA so it will take a short while before it is clear what will happen. At present my return flight shows LGW arrival but if you try to book a flight then both LHR and LGW show - so as I say to DIBB members, which now includes me patience is needed.
