Major baggage system failure at LHR

Filed under: diary — Trefor Davies @ 6:20 am

Fairly relaxed in the lounge at B Gates. Off to Sorrento. Nothing to report that I haven’t already said in a video. Made it to our seats in plenty of time. Bags of overhead luggage space though it is filling up now. As usual they were looking to stick larger bags in the hold. I don’t typically go for that. In the first instance there should be plenty of space for our one carry on and THG’s squashy bag in Club class and we are on early enough to make sure nobody from further back in the plane dumps their gear near the front before walking on down the aisle. Secondly I happen to have a portable battery pack in my bag which makes it unsuitable for the hold. I don’t actually need the portable battery as my phone is good for up to two days but it does provide insurance against that eventuality. You might think this is selfish but it is amazing how many people bring two large carry on items.

Woman on the flight wearing a longish thin blue cardigan without buttons. Thing is she is holding her hand across her front to hold the sides of the cardigan in. If it had buttons she wouldn’t have to do that.

Our bags didn’t make it to Sorrento. Major baggage system failure at LHR. Oh.
