Just to add.................
Here in MAN BA seem to have a strange way of handling customers bags.
Most of our shuttle services are operated by A319 recently these aircraft have become containerised only, this is because T5 is a container only terminal so Aviance here have been told.
Hence when the 4 containers are full, any extra baggage is to be rushed onto the next A/C, as there is no facility for bulk.
In the last few days i have seen in excess of 30 bags being dumped because of this ludicrous practice.............not only does it inconvenience the punter it must be costing a fortune to rush it on to the destination.
Does this happen at all shuttle stations in the U.K.?
