Interesting, we had no issue at security. Just explained our flight was delayed to today, he shrugged and let us pass.

Instead of leaving at our first told departure 8am we left at 2pm. After everything we experienced landed on the furthest away stand, no bus for 10 minutes and then a fifteen minute bus ride to immigration. Glad it’s all over . Two crew were off before anyone as they had connecting flights leaving people who were connecting to USA behind them. Glad it’s all over. BA contracted in Sofia absolutely useless

For what it’s worth, I agreed with your thoughts last night - why make everyone get up at crack of dawn when BA presumably knew it was (being generous) unlikely the time would come forward? All I know is a lot of airlines operate in this way; it’s maddening, and is done for their convenience, not the customer’s!

They sent App updates, and an email, at around 10:30pm last night (local time). My 70 year old Father managed to fudge his way through this trip, his first ever b2b, and even got BA to sort out his connecting flights (which were on a separate ticket).
Sure, the update stated a 12:30pm departure, and you actually left at 2pm, but all things considered at least they did provide an update.
