What do they do when the lifts aren't working? Knowing BAA, it will take a minimum of days before they get fixed if they go wrong!

But at Mulhouse last night, I was some way behind everyone else going down the escalator. Fortunately, it was near the bottom wher it stopped abruptly - power saving, because it hadn't detected me. I nearly went down at high speed. As soon as I got to the bottom, it detected me again and started! Now that is DANGEROUS! But it is France.....

Was supposed to be in Strasbourg. Denied boarding on the 1300 because the earlier flight was cancelled, put on the 1700 which went tech...took 13 hours. Colleagues who were too late for Mulhouse got put on the 2040 which left at 2130. At least, the Air France ground staff were as helpful as they could be, and very polite and pleasant and very apologetic. I was surprised to be given a €350 voucher for the delay, too. The taxi provided by AF cost them €270 to get 8 people from Mulhouse to Strasbourg.
