Faffing around with gates will sometimes happen, but this bit made me raise my eyebrow a bit. It's a 90-110 minute drive to Heathrow from mine, not sure I'd be best pleased to be "kindly requested" to spend half the next day fetching a bag they botched to begin with (not to mention paying parking charges at the airport)... is there really no compensation for this, even for expenses incurred?
