Ouch!

BA274 LAS-LHR due to depart Vegas at 21:30 on Wednesday 10th delayed..... a lot! Now showing expected departure Friday 12th at 23:00.

That hardly seems possible but lots of talk on Twitter of passengers stranded at Vegas airport with little info from BA so seems to be true.

I know there's a lot of passengers on a 747 but seems amazing that with that length of delay they haven't been able to re-book passengers e.g. on one of the many flights between Vegas and LA then onwards to LHR.

Perhaps someone in the know can confirm this is a true delay or rubbish it - and if it's a true delay perhaps provide insight into how long BA would leave passengers before finding them alternative flights.
