I know, our bloody flight from espana, delayed by 1hour, sat ere at Malaga aeropourto :-X

That would be due to the Frenchies.

37 degC here today

Assuming he's on EZY2408 AGP->LTN it took off at 10:49 Spanish time, and is ETA into Luton 00:17. Anyone with a handy Stinger, he's abeam Bordeaux over the Bay of Biscay ATM. The "official" cause of the delay is "having to offload a passenger from an earlier flight". So pi55ed up stag/hen do seems likely.

Nobody had a stinger  :D, so we arrived in ltn at 00.10., arrived home at 02.30, felt so nice being in a comfortable barge, on the proper side, instead of an asthmatic 1.2 corsa.
We were told an Edinburgh flight was the cause(due to weather),

Somebody mention compo, best go find a 'no blame claim"

Oddly enough, they don't like me coming on business trips then. :( Maybe it's because I'm a bad influence? ::)

Well the Telemacher took his revenge out on me for you lot being nasty to him.  :-X

Fri : 06:10 LGW->AMS : More or less on time, but no bacon butties.
Fri : 21:15 AMS->LGW : Nearly two hours late, and parked at south terminal, so more delays getting from there to the car in North Long stay.

Looked up the reliability for the AMS->LGW, scores 0.4 out of 5 on flight statistics, with only 33% on time performance. The inbound comes from Manchester as EZY1835, and that's almost as bad.  Anyway, finally got to the Heathrow travel lodge at 00:30 ish. Then up again at 05:00 to go check in with BA. What could possibly go wrong with a 'proper' airline  ::)

Sat : 06:55 LHR->MUC - Overbooked, denied boarding - £200 compo and re-booked on the 09:10. Not amused, but the ticket did only cost £80 so I'm up on the shambles.
Sat : 09:10 LHR->MUC - Late inbound, finally dept around 09:30, arrived MUC 12:00 CET and remote parked - bus to terminal. No bacon butties, just a baguette sandwich thing.
Sat : 20:10 MUC->LHR - Late inbound, finally dept around 20:30. Then sat at the end of the runway for 30 minutes because the BA LHR computer had crashed and they couldn't send the load sheet to the flight crew. Finally off the deck at about 21:15. On arrival remote parked at LHR, so bus to terminal :( and big queues at immigration.

So whilst I did get more or less everything done, my desire to travel BA is now lower than it ever was, and I'll be sticking to Easyjet and Ryanair - preferably from Bristol where possible in future. Terminal 5 at LHR is frankly a disaster.

Anyway, can we ban the Telemacher for good please since he's obviously a jinx.
