I actually was in the arrivals hall when those 281 Customers were advised of which baggage reclaim to go to and “to await comms from BA in terms of rebooking or check manage my booking as staff in arrivals can’t assist” assuming that staff in arrivals service are nowadays no more trained in rebooking or not having the resources to deal with a 380 load to rebook.
yes, that all makes sense, thank you - I think the 281 was a 777 though FWIW
