I was one of the many delayed at BHX on Saturday morning due to the fog. I was waiting in the Servisair lounge for the 09:00 to FRA. Several times a member of staff representing UA/CO came in and updated the passengers bound for EWR on the position of their aircraft (PIK) and the likely departure time. At no time was tehre any update for the FRA or DUS passengers. I had to find out what was going on from the LH app on my phone. Finally when the plane arrived the ground staff did their usual trick of getting passengers to the gate long before they were ready to start boarding. Then it took them 30 minutes to board a 735. LH really should change their handling agents (or are the others just as hopeless?).
BTW I noticed an LH E95 parked on a remote stand on Saturday and it was still there on Monday afternoon. Anyone have any idea what happened?
