Heathrow - Terminal One!!!

Last night I arrived back from Istanbul and here is an account of what happened:

1905 - landed on schedule 27R and taxied to stand 174 (2mins from runway) only to discover no guidance system switched on

1910 - Guidance system switched on aircraft on stand. No serviceable airbridge. Capt kept us informed.

1920 - Stairs positioned to rear of the 757 - no buses

1935 - Buses arrive and passengers slowly disembark

1945 - Arrive at immigration

1955 - First bags arrive on carousel

This is the second time I have had to use this 'method' of boarding and disembarking a flight in a month at terminal one

I really feel sorry for BA as its not their fault, but what bothers me is that they are transfering 20% of the longhaul services to this hell hole of a terminal from 28th March - God help them!!!!

Will the BAA ever get their act together??
