Even by the higher than usual low standards of British competency :yes:, this is a massive clussterfukc of an opening of the new Terminal.

Anyone travelling for the next 1 month is well and truly screwed.  You might as well travel naked as the luggage is sure to get routed to refuse dump in some country.

If this is teething problems, what will happen if there is some light rain or snow?  Denver airport chaps must be thinking, at last the curse is lifted and transferred out of this continent.

Oh S**T.

I am taking BA from LAX-Heathrow-Kolkata departing on April 18th to join IIT-Kharagpur as a faculty member. I wonder if they will have all the wrinkles straightened out by then. By golly, I was actually thinking of having only carry-on bags for this trip. Maybe this is actually a good idea.

Cheers

Has anyone traveled with BA through Heathrow to their final destination lately? Any news about checked baggage arriving safely?

Cheers

Brother in law flew from heathrow via BA to Boston on Tuesday; no problems for him.

Good luck and best wishes for your new post.
