We have British Airway flight to Cairo on 8th April 2020. All the Egypt Airport are closed for international flight, but still the flight is not cancelled by BA. Am I eligible for full refund?
Thanks!

    For refund you would either need to wait to see if the flight is officially cancelled or speak to your travel insurance re claim based on FCO
