Let's face it - if one single person loses their bags or if there's a delay the media will pounce. Bad news of any makes good news...
I'll judge purely on reports posted here - no news channels, no newspapers just people who have actually done it. I think it will go well actually.
Certainly keen to see how this goes as ORD-LHRT5-AUH is in the next batch which coincides with my honeymoon (and I'm the one who suggested we fly BA!).
