I am curious : in an event like this does BA not just pre book all spare rooms at the Sofitel meaning that it less likely to find a room on your own ?
IME The Sofitel tends to be used for F/J passengers with the remaining passengers being bussed round to one of the other hotels on the perimeter road. Suffice to say I found myself at the back of a very long check-in queue at the Radisson once because I followed instructions. In retrospect I should have checked out the Sofitel availability and put in my own claim but hindsight is a wonderful thing and I wasn't aware this was even an option until some years later when checking out this forum one day.
