How reliable is FlightAware?

Hi,

My partner and I are currently booked on the VS19 LHR-SFO (G fares) on Saturday 29th.

I had some FlightAware notifications set up for the flight and have just received an alert saying the flight has been cancelled.

Virgin's website still shows the flight as bookable and there is nothing in the "manage my booking" section of Virgin's website.

Should I be worried or just wait to see if I hear anything from Virgin directly?

Thanks.

The airline will always offer the most accurate information so I’d go off what the VS website says.

Flighty is as bad for inaccurate flight updates. I get loads of A/C change alerts from that which simply don’t exist. No idea where these apps get their data from?
