Anyone know when BA are likely to make a decision on these flights? I don't really want to take a voucher but fear i'm currently gambling.

    some BA flights to USA have continued to operate throughout this situation
    not sure I understand the gamble. Currently you have the option of taking a voucher. If the flight is not cancelled you will still have the option of taking a voucher.

    Depending on the destination may mean whether cancellation is likely. How long do you have to decide whether you wish to accept the voucher or not?

    The gamble is they withdraw the offer of a voucher. There's no commitment the scheme will remain.

    At the moment there's no set date but this works in their favour too. Tomorrow they might withdraw the scheme.

    Indeed... which route are you due to take? Is it one that has had regular flights going throughout lockdown?
