Landed safely only 15 minutes late
Good flight in the end! I took some amazing sunrise city photos during the landing at Heathrow.
Just one thought, because everything seemed so scattered at boarding time, and since pushback was 1:10 late but landing was only 0:15 late. Could the departure have been delayed by atc, to try to land at the correct time? Hence the crew had time to kill, but no one informed the gate staff. The gate people were behaving as if the flight was to pushback on time.
Or could they pull the crew from another flight since CX251 was full, and try to resolve the crew situation for a different flight? Hence the crew was in the terminal.
The gate announcement said only cockpit crew was late, but that was not true as at least 10 FAs came the same way.
All the best, I'm going to enjoy the holiday in London & Brussels.
