Easy headline and an easy answer – yes.
Good afternoon from Terminal 5 arrivals where I’m heading into the 40th minute of a wait for luggage to arrive.
Alas, it seems some bright spark decided to load four flights on one belt. So my luggage is currently behind:
- The Nice flight
- The Tokyo Haneda flight
- And our flight from Stockholm.
So the belt is a bit busy at the moment.
Apparently, people travelling and volume of bags was causing an epic slowdown.
Which for British Airways and Heathrow airport is nothing short of a royal embarrassment.
In the end my bag came out around 48 minutes after landing – with Heathrow airport embarrassing itself compared to Stockholm and Singapore by a country mile
Yes – this is a peak time of year for BA and airlines in the Heathrow region as passengers are returning from summer – and this should be a rehearsed drill by now at peak periods.
And apologising due to the high volume passengers doesn’t wash in you writers book.
At all.
