Chaotic is an understatement....
what other airport has refused to accept checked bags for transfer between terminals (due to system failures and a huge backlog?)...
and this is just in the past month. Every month in the past year has had a new LHR debacle. And for this (the guarantee to lose your bag) they charge a separate >USD 100 fee. Madness. I'm boycotting LHR no matter how convenient it might seem (it has been problematic on 90% of my trips, in the past 2 years). But to each his own -- just make an informed decision, assessing the risks.
