Not helpful for you but I haven't been on a plane since this time in 2019. Not in any rush to get on one any time soon.

They have all been to or from LHR and STR

I'm still waiting on a hotel refund for when BA cancelled a flight <2hrs before departure.
Flying is fucked but travel is not and time is precious so fuck it. If trains weren't so expensive and this wasn't a shitty, insular island, I'm sure it would be slightly better.

... flying. Again.
Is there anyone here with insight and/or inside knowledge?
Despite hating flying, I have flown a lot and I have never had so much as a rescheduled flight until two months ago.
In the past two months, we've had four flights cancelled. They have all been to or from LHR and STR: three with BA; one with Eurowings.
The first we had to completely cancel because the alternative BA offered was no good (we were notified 3hrs before take-off). The second and third (BA) we have rescheduled as they're for in a fortnight's time and then at Christmas. The final one was my brother-in-law's flight this morning (Eurowings), which he rescheduled to 2pm after being notified of the cancellation, again 3hrs before take-off.
Is there something going on? With commercial aviation staffing levels? At LHR? At STR?
Or are cancelled/rescheduled flights commonplace and I've just been extremely luck over the past 40years?
