So back to T5 to be kicked off, given a piece of paper which might as well said ‘good luck!’ And left to our own devices. Getting to the luggage carousel to find my bag had been off loaded early and was never even on the flight!

So head to a Marriot and call Gold Help line to speak to someone who then sorted me out for the following day to wake up today to find that we are now all back on a new BA1298 in the same seat.

my bag is still showing at T3 ORD thanks to my apple tag.

can’t wait for tonight’s fun and games.
What about this represents "a new low"? For you? For BA? Because of a delay and a weather-related cancellation?
