Last week our early afternoon flight got cancelled only option was next flight leaving 6.45pm or early flight. We had to go later as earlier one we would have had to leave our house far too early and would make it killer 2 days.

Over weekend I noticed quite a few days over next few weeks now showing no availability at all all day, one of the days is day we fly to LHR 🙈

On checking the travel schedule it’s showing around 2 cancelled flights a day. It goes as far up to Friday 15th and that day is showing 5 out of 7 flights cancelled! Worries it’s a sign to come!

I stupidly changed from flying from Inverness to LHR to Aberdeen to LHR and paid more! As back in Feb when they were cancelling Inverness flights I thought Aberdeen would be better option.

Nothing is easy. Can’t really move things about. We have 2 nights at universal at start wish booked them at the end now Incase of delays/cancellations/strikes argggghh

When are you off Orlandoguy?

My London trip is booked for mon 25th, first flight of the day 645am I think it’s at, I think there notifying you around two weeks before you fly if your flights cancelled so will wait see what happens next week, am fortunate I can be quite flexible that week so can go Upto couple days either side of the Monday so should definitely be able to go, but I really feel for people that will have connecting flights it’s an added stress, hoping you get away

I’ve everything crossed, we fly to LHR the 20th July and MCO the 21st. Hubby doesn’t land home till 19th July 😳 so later flight on Wed gave him more time incase he was to have chopper delays 🙈 was saying tonight even if it comes to me and girls getting early flights with EasyJet as had some ok prices from inverness and he pays extra for a later flight. Goodness knows just so much worry our first time booking DIY as we thought so much easier flying back to Aberdeen than landing Glasgow or Edinburgh and then the 2 train then car journey home 🙈

Tomorrow’s our 2 weeks lol between that and worry of strikes as long as we get there don’t really mind getting stuck on way home 🤣🙈

Good luck with your journeys!

We’re flying on 25th July Ncl-Lhr-Jfk, and I’ve been checking the flight status for both flights this week. Unfortunately both our flights out yesterday were cancelled 😞.
Busy looking at various options in case we get the dreaded email, even including overnight Megabus down, just so we can be at LHR for any flight out 🙈.
I know we’ve waited 2 years so should be able to wait another couple of weeks, but won’t be able to get excited until we finally get on a transatlantic flight!
Fingers crossed for everyone 🤞

I’ve seen they are not apparently cancelling US flights really, nearly all Euro short hauls.

We return MCO 5th Aug but fly back to Aberdeen 6th Aug. Our 8.20am flight was cancelled the other month and been put on 12.35pm which suits us better so no early check in and hopefully get good sleep at hotel!

We have some give coming back as long as home for Monday lol

Good luck and enjoy your extra day! I went on chat to ask options this morning I asked if I could remove the Aberdeen domestic flight yes that’s fine but no refund as would be more expensive to remove! 🤷🏻😩 then she said if we cancel the domestic flight and we choose to keep the Orlando flight They will cancel Aberdeen flight free of charge! She said it like she was doing me a favour! Surely if they cancel your domestic you should be getting some kind of refund compensation?

I asked if they use other carries if domestic flights were cancelled and said no, not for domestic flights but could claim train travel and go by train.

Will just have to hold tight and pray our flight goes ahead.

Up until 14th July was showing 2 flights cancelled a day from Aberdeen the 15 and 16th July is now showing only one or 2 flights a day from 5 and 7! Not sure if it makes a difference that these flights are Friday/Sat or a sign of things to come.
