3. Failed to mention at the time of booking that we would have to touch down in LCA.
4. On landing 90 mins late at LHR because of this, no steps or buses, even though this was a "scheduled" delay, stuck for a further 40 mins on board.
5. Broken control for IFE on LHR-IAD
6. Awful sound on IFE when moved to another seat on same flight.
7. Argument with Lounge Lizard at LHR because I let someone come in with me for 20 mins as he missed his connecting flight due to the late arrival because of the LCA stop and wanted to freshen up, and then after he left, I had the chutzpah to want to bring in the guy I was flying with LHR-IAD, as I knew by then we weren't going to be seated together. Cue an embarrassing lecture and being told what a huge favour they were doing for me.
8. To top it off, on arrival at IAD, CC announced that there was an Arrivals Lounge for F/J/Gold pax, which I thought was surprising but was in dire need of, so I wasted 15 mins looking for that too!
9. All of this was on a ticket that was far more expensive than I realised. When looking online, it showed at $1600, but as I needed one that was upgradeable with miles and with a stopover, I called BA London to book it, and had a very confusing conversation in which I believed I was being charged only slightly more. When the e-ticket arrived, it was for over 1600 POUNDS.
1. Don't understand. Next time check your pre-assigned seats. Next time do OLCI. Don't understand about baggage. Don't understand why you got into an argument.
2. Ditto - take some responsibility for your bookings and seating. BA is not a childminding service.
3. You think they stopped at LCA for the fun of it, to grab a quick mezze?
4. It happens. Don't let it ruin your life.
5. It happens. Don't let it ruin your life. Standard compensation applies. Enjoy.
6. It happens. Don't let it ruin your life. Standard compensation applies. Enjoy.
7. You tried to bring in 2 different guests. Lounge agent was right. You were wrong. Yet still you argued with people. I bet you were a pleasure to deal with that day.
8. Big deal. 15 minutes of your life.
9. Your mistake. I suggest you check the price you are quoted next time, or turn up your hearing aid.
Really, I have never heard such a ridiculous rant in my life. You better chill out a bit before you have a heart attack. Seriously man. You need a majority reality check.
