What
did you do in your earlier life to deserve this sort of thing happening to you so often? Or are you just statistically over-exposed to risk by flying too often?
Thank you, I had to laugh out loud at that comment! I sometimes do wonder. But I think it's just the statistical over-exposure and the run of bad luck. I'm expecting some more of those 'disruptions' next week, with some snow on the forecast (nice, not).
Maybe a bit more than statistical though. Since 1 December I have taken 26 flights. 7 flights were 'properly' disrupted (that is my own personal criteria of a delay of 30 minutes or more or cancellation), of which 4 were cancelled or delayed more than 2.5 hours. So that's probably more than what's statically likely, but I think it's just one of those things.
However, I agree that BA seems to have made a very good recovery, all things considered.
They did, and I have just sent a well done on BA.com to a few people involved.
I was certainly kept happy, and the hotel BA put me in was not bad at all, and the breakfast was pretty decent too. I really cannot complain.
