Yes, it was a mess. I arrived from LAS at 2:50pm yesterday. A minor 20 minutes delay waiting for someone to operate the gantry on arrival. No biggie I thought. My connection up to Man, BA1402 @ 18:25, was cancelled at about 19:30, along with a number of other local Uk flights. First lounge ended up with a queue of about 15 pax waiting to speak to someone. Announcement was made as stated in earlier posts. Also recieved a number of emails from BA. One stated to continue journey and make a baggage claim. Another was for a rebooking onto the 07:45 am flight to Man. This 07:45 has also been cancelled and rebooked onto the 17:25 today. ::update17:25 also cancelled::

Needless to say I took an Uber home last night.

The queue to leave the terminal last night from gate 17 must have been the largest I have ever seen. I can only guess the number of people. Perhaps a thousand, maybe more.

I have a photo close to gate 17, but it does not really show the true extent of the chaos.
