I fly this service a few times each year and it has never been less than 90 mins late for me. My old man takes it a lot too and it’s a running joke between us.

Since Jan I’ve stopped using it and opt for Virgin out of Manchester instead now, which works better for me and usually leaves on time.

With consistent delays and the horrible condition of the planes flying this route, it’s not a good look for BA.

On this flight next week, the stats for delays must be really bad.

https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/ba275/ - Not a pretty picture. I'm also on this flight in a couple of weeks so it would be great if they can get their act together.

I thought you were more of a "route through LAX" kinda guy ! Hopefully there's a different aircraft operating this afternoon's

I contacted BA on Twitter about the ongoing delays and was told most of them are “rotational delays”!!

On the BA274 LAS-LHR tonight. It was marked as delayed by 30 mins already last night. Flight isn’t due to go for another 9.5 hours. I see though that it has left LHR about an hour and half late and ETA in LAS for 2005. Maybe 2200 is doable?

Id say you’re being optimistic. 2hrs to unload, clean, restock and reload a full 747 is tight

Quite right, although on this occasion there wasn’t availability.

This delay was due to the aircraft going tech after arriving from JFK.
