Thanks CWS.
Looking at the flight times I think we were within MCT for T5 - the flight from MAN (IB7685) was delayed for about an hour which should've meant we had at least a 50 min connection time at T5. We had to wait in a queue at the BA transfer desk for quite a while to be told we couldn't fly until the morning. I think this might be about whether there was a problem with the IB flight to MAD (we were given no information). I've asked on the IB forum about whether the flight was cancelled or not.
If anyone has any info on here it was IB3167 on Friday 14th Sep.
Thanks again.
