Heathrow Terminal 5
The saying 'can't organise a piss up in a brewery' comes to mind. What a laughing stock. I just heard on the Portuguese radio about the huge fiasco, then heard a similar report o the Spanish radio (I live by the border). Actually it is owned by the Spanish but BA gets the blame by the sound of it.

Is anyone using it soon? If so good luck!

Son, you're going to have to make up your mind about growing up and becoming aircrew. You can't do both.

The aircraft limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular aircraft. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no limits.

Safe diving,

P.S. Hope it was just teething troubles although I suspect it's same sh*t different building.

Don't get me started... flew out from Terminal 1 Tuesday morning to Germany, fly back tomorrow afternoon to Terminal 5.


And guess what I'm doing every week for the next couple of months, you guessed it flying back and for Munich from Terminal 5.


I'm just so looking forward to that.


John

Bit of a shame really, seems a lot of stuff ground to a halt at the same time.

It was a month or two back that someone told me the baggage system should have been working already, but that it just kept sending bags off here there and everywhere.

I like how they call it "staff familiarisation" issues too - rather than "we forgot to tell anyone how to use it"!

Funny I saw a program the other night on the Terminal and it included test of the luggage system with 12,000 bags loaded over a 4 hour period the maximun number they could ever expect and they said it passed with no problems. Good old simulation just cant match real life!!

Saw that too. This must mean both systems have failed. Makes you wonder how they actually tested...
