"British Airways has delayed moving most of its long-haul flights to
Heathrow's new Terminal 5 until June.

Sixty arrivals and 60 departures per day were due to be moved."


Oh dear there's currently a minimum connection time of 1 hour for BA
flights, having to transfer from terminal 4 to terminal 5 has blown
that. This is going to add several hours to many BA journeys.

What remains of all those loyal BA customers from places like
Manchester and Edinburgh that use Heathrow to connect into long haul
will have to switch to the foreign airlines now, just like those of us
from Birmingham did years ago.

From Birmingham thanks to SAS, KLM, Lufthansa and Air France you can
fly anywhere through their hubs not to mention the many long haul
direct flights now offered by the likes of Emirates and Continental.

The same is true for Manchester only more so - Cathy Pacific, for
example.

Methinks, British Airways just became London South East Airways - fly
the flag!

The thing is how can they justify having twice the management other
airlines seem to cope without after this cock up?
