Return journey was even worse, remote stand, no buses, no, stairs, no staff. Once on the buses, not enough for the full plane, then a 15 minute wait to open the arrivals door. then vomited out in the emergency exit. Arrived at the Station 80 minutes after landing.
Not to repeat everyone else's observations and comments, but how on earth did BA allow this to happen? I'm used to MAN forgetting they actually run an airport and not a carpark, but BA allowing this to happen to their customers is nuts!!
