Delays on flights from LAS ( BA).com)
Hi,
BA.com is advising of delays on some flights from LAS to LHR
http://www.britishairways.com/travel...b?p_faqid=4730
Notably the BA 274 of the 25th June had a 2 day delay!
Would not want to be a pax on that flight ( although hopefully they have been rebooked)
Regards
TBS

Funny I flew out of LAS on AA today and saw one of the fine BA 747s parked up unceremoniously next to the FEDEX pan! I thought it may be due to reducing the daily flights down with the LGW option but maybe it went tech! I was surprised to see it as I taxied past at 0700 en route to Miami!

Chaos in Las Vegas!
An outgoing passenger told me about the multi-day delay on Tuesday's BA 274. That particular flight has still not departed! It is now scheduled for 12:30PM Friday. Some pax were able to rebook on Thursday night's flight (which is apparently in the air, but doesn't show up on any flight tracker software). There were many complaints regarding poor communication and a general clueless/uncaring attitude exhibited by BA ground staff. As I did not witness any of this in person, I would be most curious to have some FlyerTalkers get to the bottom of what actually happened in Vegas!

I can think of worse places to be stranded. At least they can't lock passengers in the airport there!
2 days is ridiculous - loads of re-route options so hopefully everyone that wanted got away.

There do seem to have been a number of delays / cancellations recently, there's a thread somewhere about cancellations to the Gulf states over the past few weeks, last week a friend of mine was delayed for 2 days in Johannesburg when the 747 had a series of technical faults.
It does make me wonder if BA is becoming an unreliable airline on the long haul 747 routes as the aircraft age and we wait for new ones to be introduced.

I thought it was a bit strange that it warranted a separate headline/thread on BA.com under the information bit though? Sure, 2 day delay is bad but don't think normally warrants that

Friend at work was due to be on Tuesday's flight out of Vegas. From Facebook he mentioned problems with one of the engines, for which BA flew out a part. Only problem being it was the wrong part.
Last FB post from him was 18 hours ago saying he was hopefully leaving the hotel in Vegas for the last time...

It's common for flights in Phoenix and Vegas to be delayed to due excessive heat (which is happening right now). Temps are reaching 45+ celsius in both cities.
