).The flight was due out at 1615, so a quick check of the departure screens and the dreaded word DELAYED appears, by approximately 1 hour, not so good. So back to the bar for another couple of drinks and more nibbles. A quick call to the car company to inform them of our delay and then all we could do is wait for the call to board.
Eventually the call came and we made our way down to the gate to board our A320 to LHR. Now I haven't flown BA for a while but I was impressed with CE, especially the table between the seats. Push back evenually 1.05 late, turns out the reason for the delay was due to a passenger falling down the stairs on a previous flight.
Flight passed by without any further incident, managed to make up about 10 minutes. Also first time going through T5 at LHR, seemed like quite a long walk from the plane but I don't recall any document checks at all at LHR, would that be right? Exited but could not find our driver anywhere, so another call made
, gave us an opportunity to do a bit of celeb spotting. We had the author Lynda LaPlante on our flight, also saw Hugh Laurie and also Tom Hollander (Pirates of the Caribbean, Rev). Driver eventually arrived after about 15 minute wait and then we were on our way to LGW Hilton.
