Lesson learned - take a carry on bag. Felt sorry for BA crew waiting for their bags after a long flight
That is pretty standard.
Up until last year I was a frequent flyer between LHR and EDI/GLA. Never any problems Northwards waiting for bags when I had to take one, but coming back I regularly waited over 1 hour for my bags on the last flight of the night. On one occasion it was just over 90 minutes. On pretty much every occasion my wait for baggage more than doubled my journey time compared to the actual flight! One night I asked if I could go airside myself and get it. I had my LHR airside pass with me and my hi-viz, sadly they said no!
