BA1325 (9.40am) NCL to LHR on 9 January

The 50% pull rate was in evidence again with mine getting through no probs (phone, iPad, assortment of cables, chargers and battery devices in hand luggage) but partners got a pull for swabbing.

new lounge is decent enough with a good range of hot breakfast items albeit tiring a tad from being kept warm. No self service at the bar as in the previous BA lounge but understand given the value seeking holiday clientele it attracts. A pal of mine worked on the refurb so I took a bit of an interest in the general finish and the standard of some of the evidently rushed workmanship was shocking. Big snagging list I feel. Lee Westwood seemed happy enough in there though.

mention for the toilets - very nice and big improvement.
