Alliance shifting?

Fairdealfrank.
I'm not sure you can make such a statement about there being no chance of an alliance shifting.
Not when Mr Walsh threatened exactly that a few weeks ago.

If BFS felt the need to issue that statement, they are clearly very very bitter about something.

T5 to T4 is by far the worst.

I don't know why they quote

Perhaps the published Minimum Connecting Times are only referring to Airside.
