Would that have been 2010 / 2011 when I suffered the same at ZRH? The fun bit was discovering that a BD *G was actually worth more than a few sandwiches and pre-flight drinks
.
'Standard' rebooking was absolute chaos filling most of the ticketing area while the LX *G desk was a 5 minute wait. When my rebooked flight also got cancelled at Gate X and everyone rushed over to X+2 it was all looking a bit desperate until the agent saw the *G marking and scribbled on the BP to get me aboard.
It's one of the reasons I aim to keep a reasonable level of status - not often needed for this but certainly was useful then ^. No idea how much BA rely on status when prioritising multi-flight irrops though
.
If that hadn't have happened I'd probably be reporting the extra fun we had in the Swissotel sauna and environs while delayed. ... ... Darned *G card
