It all depends on whether any other passengers have requested the use of the Radisson.

Thanks for the info.

Sorry about that - it makes me feel a little guilty. But the baggage arrives quickly and I've never understood the rush. Isn't the enjoyment about travel is getting there?

The wait is 10 mins max. And you can check you luggage too. If you can't beat us....join us

The point about the checked-in luggage vs no checked-in luggage folk is interesting.

Each time I've used the service (with no checked-in luggage to wait for), I've never been asked to wait for anyone else before getting a car. In fact, I've had a car to myself (or with just the person I'm travelling with) with just one exception when we arrrived at the Arrivals desk at the same time and they put the three of us in a car together which made sense.

From what I could tell there were other people using the arrivals service, just that I got my own car

We are on BA004, does anyone know if we will be able to get a hot/cooked breakfast at the Radission please?

I think breakfast finishes at 10:30am at the Radisson. When I was on the 004 we arrived early and when we got to the hotel they said breakfast was still on if we wanted something. If the flight arrives on schedule, then I don't think so.

You won't need one - you will be served an excellent breakfast on board.

I thought that if you arrive after the end of breakfast they let you order something from the a la carte? Is that no longer the case??

I don't know, I was stuffed full from the breakfast on board, so there was no way I was going to eat again. It really is a lot of food on the flight, and it's very good too!

We would prefer to sleep on the plane
and then get breakfast at the Raddison but if we can't get breakfast won't bother going there which is why I am trying to find out. I have asked BA but they don't know what is available!

When I came in on the 4, the breakfast was finished at the Radisson but they brought me a plate from the buffet leftovers! It wasn't great.

When I arrived on the BA2 this week there were three of us wanting the Radisson. We each got a car.

I end up taking the BA4 every 4-6 weeks. I don't always use arrivals but when I do breakfast is usually finished by the time I've arrived and showered.

You should speak to one of the staff in the bar area and they'll let you order pretty much what you want off the a la carte menu.

I've never been served leftovers any time I've been there! The food is a much higher standard than anything you'll get on board (or in T5 arrivals, including CCR brekkie).

This is my experience too
