This is HUGE negative for CO at LHR. I almost went back last week to LHR and was going to book through IAD on UA to not go through that again. (Again would be in paid Business.)
You are lucky it was only 50 mins. The last 2 times it's been between 1-2 hours.
I'm not sure who I'm more frustrated with: BAA or CO. BAA should really staff more agents. It's not like they don't know the schedule of the planes coming in.
