I was due to fly MAN - BOS on December 19 last year. My flight, BA 1403, due to depart MAN at 5:05pm, finally left at 6:48pm which caused me to miss my BOS flight from LHR. I reached BOS the next day.
The only reason I could get for the late departure was "late arrival of incoming aircraft". Another passenger had been told that the aircraft had arrived late into LHR from its previous flight, and that the crew had gone out of hours and they'd had to wait for a new crew. I am now kicking myself for not pushing for a more precise reason for the delay, and for not looking up LHR delays at the time. I know there were plenty of flights arriving and departing MAN more or less on time.
I have 2 questions.
Is there a way to find out the actual reason for the delay?
Can I find out if there were weather or ATC delays at LHR that afternoon?
Thank you
