Heathrow Airport Nonsense
Having arrived on BA10 from Bangkok this morning, 50 minutes late, was appalled to be told as we taxied in, that due to noise restrictions at the airport (this is at 0630), that we would have to shut down all the engines and get TOWED to stand at T4.
This took an extra 10 minutes.
If I had not already missed my connection to Glasgow I would have been raging.
Now, BA having recognised that we would not be making our connections, bussed 30 or so of us over the the central area on our own bus, and on reaching the hand baggage screening area, we were met by an enormous queue, OUTSIDE of the main screening area.
Of the 6 (or possibly 7) x-ray machines, at least 3 were out of service.
This time a 15 minute wait.....
COME ON BAA, WHAT A WAY TO RUN AN AIRPORT !!
As I write this my suitcase has been delivered to my door by courier, BA managed to get me on the 0815 shuttle, despite all the BAA nonsense, but my luggage has JUST caught up !!
Apologies to all who think this should have been posted to JETBLAST, but I think that is what BAA Heathrow management are due, preferably up their a****.
