rog747 , Think those cruise ship charters had migrated to LGW using Caledonian Tristars , '96 or so...
Did an Athens one , mostly yanks . Climbing out empty on the way home Selcal pings from Speedbird LHR HF radio.
Answer and patch throught Cale Ops LGW.. to find that the front hold had not been unloaded ! Umpteen bags still there ... Luckily we'd been fully handled by BA at Athens , thus us or the F/E hadn't looked in holds on turnaround ... By back and forth found that our a/c was going to Rhodes as soon as we landed ..
Even more luck was that the cruise's 1st port of call was Rhodes .... Hopefully the bags got reunited with their owners in Rhodes !
