Shambolic departure last night for the BA1375. Boarding all complete ahead of schedule and seemingly ready to go.

Next minute the pilot announces over the tannoy that there has been a problem with the biometrics and so 30 passengers had to grab all their bags and be marched back up to the gate to have their photo taken again before being marched back down to the aircraft. Eventually left an hour late with numerous angry passengers who were going to miss connections. It seems the ground staff were getting quite a bit of grief when it was all a result of MAG's complete inability to run an airport or prepare proper infrastructure.
