28/04/18, BA270, LHR-LAS was shambolic, I've not flown BA for a while so this was my first experience of group boarding. We arrived at the gate when the status was 'Go to gate' and there were people everywhere. During the time we were standing around no announcements were made and there was just one staff member policing one of the entrances letting groups 1 and 2 through. I didn't even realise there were different entrances for different groups until we followed the masses and saw them, I'd echo other comments that they need to be much higher. Once they'd boarded the first group who I imagine were the priorities it was then just a free for all as there continued to be no announcements at any point.

The return, BA271 on 02/05/18 was much better, announcements were made and it all went smoothly. Shows it can be done!
