The Shambles of BA 1466 Last Night [14 May 2026]

Was anyone else subjected to the farce that ensued with this service from LHR to EDI last night ?

After numerous EDI cancellations this the last flight of the day eventually made it's way up to Edinburgh at most 2/3 full - why didn't they utilise capacity from earlier disruptions to fill the aircraft ?

It was supposed to leave at 2150 but didn't get airborne till after midnight - perhaps the "hotel and flight tomorrow" were the lucky ones ?

First there was a bag problem then numerous "headset anomalies"

The most annoying thing is that they are unable to take ownership of the situation and ameliorate passengers in some manner - ie a free drink in Y or half price to maintain stocks ?

The Crew including the Captain seem unable or unwilling to think outside the box - after 2 hours shouldn't we have been entitled to a refreshment voucher ?

Worst aspect was they got off the hook for compensation as we only ended up 2 hours 20 minutes late !!

All I will get (hopefully) is my £94 Taxi Fare back to Falkirk due to the 0125 arrival time.
