A bit late to this thread for various reasons....
brother-in-law flew in from Madrid (where he lives) to Heathrow on 19 July with BA. Flight was a little late; 90 minutes from plane "docking" at T5 until the luggage appeared on the belt. He was supposed to be flying with hand luggage only but when he checked in at Madrid he was told his case would have to be checked in, not sure if that was because of its weight or that they thought the overhead lockers would be full. Whatever, it meant I wasted 90 minutes of my life I won't get back and had to pay an exorbitant amount for the car park.
I'm hoping to fly to Germany next month; Heathrow parking charges seem to have all-but-doubled compared to the last time I flew in Aug 2020, and that was booking some weeks ago too.
Rip-off Britain is back......
