Not BA-related, but trying to "top" that with my one and only experience landing in SGN some 15 years ago.

I was on SQ from SIN and followed the instructions given to me by my resident SIN colleague which were: "get off the plane at the front as quickly as possible and run up all the way to the immigration counters, barging over anyone you see in front of you, so you get into pole position"

Of course this didn't work with multiple other "random Asian flights" having arrived simultaneously, so I spent a very unpleasant 4,5 hrs waiting in line to be cleared by immigration.
