    Regardless of what you did or did not do you are in the wrong because I say so!

    I wonder if you could helpfully offer your opinion on a recent problem where BA refused me permission to board my booked & confirmed flight. Apparently it has something to do with a 125 number, but I’m afraid I really don’t understand it.

    booked & confirmed flight

    You mean you booked and confirmed directly with the airline? And one thinks that’s enough to guarantee one a ticket?! I bet you wear tracksuits to the airport lounge too. It doesn’t bear thinking about.

    Given your specific requirements, could you not have paid to use the private terminal? I suspect for the right amount of money, they would have let you stay and work for as long as you wanted. That cost might have been cheaper than a 1/2 days holiday.

    You must know that “person” is an AI created troll. Impossible that it is a living breathing human.

    You are being unreasonable for expecting to be allowed into the plane only because you booked, paid and checked in to your flight.

    Your fault of course. You should be an expert in Amadeus bookings and know that if you have an email confirming your booking, you have paid for your booking, you have a paper ticket from the check in desk on your hand … you should still totally expect denied boarding for reasons only known to the person at the gate. Any normal person would have expected this to happen and you only have yourself to blame for thinking you did everything you could not to be denied boarding.

    Next time, before you go to the airport, hack into BA’s systems to confirm your ticket does indeed exist. This just makes so much sense to me and proves you are all wrong!

    Even if you indeed made it into the plane somehow I would continue to argue you should not have and as a matter of fact state that whatever you will say next is unfounded, not true and inexact.

    even having lounge access at MAN at T2 is very rather average and no reason to arrive early at all! if business/sky priority i can usually check in, go through fast track and be in the lounge within 15 minutes of getting out the car, so not worth arriving anything more than 2 hours before flight in my opinion for anyone in future

    How very dare you! Shorts and t-shirt to a hotel breakfast, yes guilty as charged, but never a tracksuit in a lounge.

    It would appear that quite a few employers are not getting much return from their employees claiming to be ‘working’ from home while just playing on the internet this afternoon. Mind you, the low calibre of the comments would suggest their junior level work output may not be much missed.

    You do realise you’re essentially talking to yourself here when you make these pronouncements?

    I didn’t know BA’s CEO was here! This starts to make a lot of more sense now.
