Update: the aircraft arrived at the gate at 11:34 but the APU would not start and doors did not open until 11:45. Conformance for the LHR-MUC flight was already passed and “computer said no” at connections security. By this time it was too late for the LH service at 13:50 from T2 as MCT there was also not met, so rebooking was onto BA960 LHR-MUC at 16:40. This arrived into MUC with doors open at 19:24 local time, 4:14 later than the scheduled booking.

The captain’s announcement on BA226 was that the inbound BA227 was held in LHR for nearly 2 hours for baggage loading. ExpertFlyer delay reason is Z0. In my opinion, this is clear EU261 of €600 (or should we claim UK261 now?) since the delay is wholly on BA. Master Tafflyer also no longer has status and as the £10 voucher didn’t cover his noodles and cola in Wagamama T5 he will no doubt be adding that to the bill.
