When do the airlines notify of a cancellation

I know I know its like asking how long is a piece of string. But does anyone have a good educated guess at how far in advance the airlines are told sorry you can't fly that day/week.

I had an email on Friday along the lines of 'how excited are you in 7 weeks you will be in Florida' with a reminder that the balance is due soon.

We are due to pay the balance of our holiday with BA (flights, car and tickets) on 3rd July, will the airlines know by then whether they are going to be able to fly on 7th August, surely their finances must dictate that they fly every opportunity that they are able to and allowed, so how late do they leave it to cancel. I saw somewhere else that Virgin have cancelled their flights up to late July so surely they must know something.

I am able to push it back by a week but I guess there are many others who have already booked for the 13th and if that is not cancelled there is probably not much chance of us getting on that flight.

It's the not knowing that's driving me up the wall and after not having any time away last year and to think of another year (we can only go during August) without getting away from these four walls arrrgh.

BA seem to be cancelling roughly about 4 or 5 weeks before at the minute There is a thread running about it in Trip Planning and might be an idea to subscribe to it.

I think you should know next weekend. We’ve been notified today of the cancellation of 1 August. At least it was before the deposit was due.

Do you get the option to rebook or do they just give you a refund automatically. We can't do anything until next August anyway and I don't think they are booking that far ahead.

Yes not booking that far ahead, they will offer option to cancel and refund if they cancel one of the flights.

We opted for a refund.
