....or maybe it’s nil dispatch ex home base as per the MEL?

don’t let your unfounded unfounded suspicion get in the way.

I didn't have suspicion, I had surprise. I have no issue being surprised as its a learning opportunity.

Unfortunately after that long wait at T3 gate 32, the flight has now been cancelled. As has the return BA210 from MIA-LHR, so anyone on that best call BA if they see this.

The dispatch report say CCRY - Crew out of hours, Yes to Article 7.

Finally at the renaissance. Wansnt too bad in the circumstances. Rebooked on a direct tomorrow.

Some are upset with connections etc. Getting very upset that flights now full direct.

Crew did a good job. And there was a bit of a party in F with a few passengers circulating with champagne and the canapés.

There was a guy in Y who got to the hotel with me, with voucher, so it wasn't just F that got through with hotel vouchers quickly.

Apparently we could have gone, but a passenger would have gone too long without meds (in checked bag - ...?) so demanded to be off loaded, that would have put the crew out of hours.

On the upside I hear said pax has just been upgraded to F for tomorrow's flight for remembering they definitely needed those meds in their checked bag, despite having to be prompted about it 4 times, and BA now not having to pay EC261
