Ba847 London/barca
 

Reported today on sky. Turn back due to 'cockpit smell'. Anyone have any firm knowledge?

An out of date "Deli in the Sky"? :ok:

Although only (regular) SLF I was actually on this flt in 11D and I can assure you it was a complete non-event. Yes, the capt. asked for a senior cabin crew to go to the flt deck. Yes, it was reported that there was a smell. And yes, they said we were going back to BCN.

But the sky news (I think from a hack from the MWC show) is waay overblown. No manic shouts of "brace brace brace" from the crew. I am not convinced the guy across the aisle from me even woke up.

Irritating to spend an extra night in Barcelona but that's it.

"Barca" - didn't know BA flew to a football team!

BA-loco: acc avherald=same aircraft, 2nd (same)event:
they should spend some money to clean the air cond filters. costs less.
