Ba 8718 lcy-edi
Bit of a fiasco here at LCY this evening.
- Plane has been showing an hour’s delay from 2005 to 2100 all day.
- At check-in they say it might be 2140.
- At 1935 the boards start showing a gate and say “boarding soon”
- At 2015 a plane arrives at the gate, but there are no staff here for boarding.
- At 2030, the staff member who has arrived reports that the gate information is wrong, the plane’s have been switched and ours is coming in from Zurich and will indeed be leaving at 2140. Cue grumbling as of course all the shops have closed in the meantime.
- At 2050 the gate assignment disappears and the plane is now showing as leaving at 2225.
All very annoying, particularly as our original plane has been sitting on the tarmac for a while. All the shops are closed and it is now impossible to buy anything to eat or drink except booze. Not even water by the looks of things. No one from BA has offered us anything.
