The flight was supposed to depart at 12.50. It finally took off at 17.57. They take 1hr 30 to reach BCN. They stack for about an hour and then leave to ALC. They arrive at about 22.15 local time and there they sat for 2 hours. I think that BA were mad to let this aircraft wait all that time at LHR - uncatered - for such a long time. It should have been cancelled - they have cancelled for lots of other reasons before. After 2-3 hours someone should have said "Enough" and pulled them back on stand. That BA have absolutely no control over the weather is given - however BA does have control over their own aircraft. This should never have got off the ground. Those poor people. Words fail me.
