Having taken two hours to get to a gate we've just taxied away from it as it wasnt actually ready and the captain is having to look elsewhere.
The captain has just informed us that Heathrow is now closed and no more planes are landing here which in theory should make it easier to get a gate.
It's not snowing but yet they've closed Heathrow Terminal 5. Jesus.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Captain has informed the passengers the reason we cannot disembark is because the ground crews have used a lot of de icer on a number of gates and because it hasn't snowed the deicer hasn't dissipated thus making the gates dangerous to disembark from.
You couldn't make it up.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Speaking of which, are you allowed to use the bogs while the plane is stood standing?Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostProbably. Aren't they supposed to disembark you after landing? Two hours is taking the piss.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
