Shambles at LHR gate A7 LHR-ZRH at 6.25am this morning. Announcement goes out that the flight is very full so not all bags may make it into the cabin.

Priority queue (starting with the usual 5), rapidly turns into a queue of 45 (yes, I counted them). Of course, I thought, they will call CE and Gold first so that will dissipate a little (I was travelling CE).

Then of course CE, G, S, B, OWE, OWS, OWR all called at once. With those who then jumped up from their seats and "filtered" into the existing queue, I was then behind a queue of over 60 people.

I was in row 1 on a full J cash ticket but my (single, small) bag ended up above row 6. Really, really poor....
