FYI,just heard from family member they were delayed ‘inside the aircraft’, an A380′ approaching (just under) 4 hrs allegedly due to a brake problem while taxiing for take off…due to safety no use of toilets etc, after take off crew disappeared – no drinks served – they were in PE….apparently/allegedly it was crew hours or rest ? Just passing on as I know the BA A380 issues have been in dialogues recently…FYI especially if you are travelling with kids maybe switch as most do to the 777s for Q Suite if in J……ps yes they are complaining to BA about the lack of crew and service – the long delay is/was bad news but understandable for safety reasons….
Presumably they were stationary, so no toilets makes no sense, and clearly is an excuse . And for example for a man with say prostate cancer , would constitute discrimination.
