The British national pastime...

Only once in my round-the-world journey did I fly British Airways. Only once in my round-the-world journey did I have any significantly unpleasant experience with the airline. Guess which flight it was?

I feel like I now belong to the club that can join in the British national pastime of bitching about British Airways. I had to queue for an hour and a quarter to check in at Montreal Airport because BA only had two check-in staff. And when trying to disembark at Heathrow Terminal 5 (I was just changing planes in London en route to Stockholm), we must have been left waiting on the plane for a good 15 minutes - because the taxiing spot was next to a section of the terminal building that's still being built, and they didn't have enough buses to ferry us to the distant part of the terminal that is actually open. You could say I wasn't impressed...
