On arriving at Owen Roberts International Airport yesterday evening I discovered to my horror, that all British Airways computer systems were down and staff were doing a manual checks which were taking 10 minutes per passenger, and there was a great deal of (slow) writing taking place behind the counter. On top of all this the air conditioner was really not cooling. What fun!
I spent two hours in the check in line, this was like going back to the Iron Age. My WorldMate App kept advised me of later and later departure times and finally we were told that the flight was cancelled. and all passengers were bussed to the Marriott Hotel. I am glad I made no appointments for tomorrow in London. Apparently British Airways never made it out of Nassau, they did a test flight and landed again and cancelled the flight.
This morning, December 5th, having just got through to British Airways on an 800 number I am told that we will be departing this evening at 9.55 PM. This is obviously going to be an trip, and this is supposedly the easy part, after all it is only a trans-atlantic flight. To be continued.
