@AusAmb_DE Very sorry to see you go! So grateful for the wonderful reception you gave me after the Berlin Phil concert recently, where it was my great pleasure to meet you, your wife and son, and some of the wonderful people from the Embassy. You will be missed!
So, that was 23 hours delay on a flight that takes a bit more than an hour. Delays can happen, but the lack of communication, the slow progression of the delayed departures and the abandonment of the passengers in a closed airport overnight - chaos!
@British_Airways What is happening? A whole plane load at Lyon, waiting to fly to LHR - and not even the airport staff can reach you!! Already hours delayed….No info. No assistance, no customer service. Not good enough!
@British_Airways That’s not a new flight, that is the one from yesterday. It’s departure time has changed about 8 times. Still no airport staff or BA staff anywhere to be seen. A lot of very tired and very angry gold, silver, business, families, etc…
@British_Airways There is no one to assist. The Avia Partner people, BA’s outsourced partner here, have no more information. The flight has now been pushed back to 16:30. Still no communication, no support!
@British_Airways And while the flight is listed on the ba app as departing at 14:30, it is not present on the departures board, and there is still no one from BA anywhere………
@British_Airways Hello. It is not so much the delay as the lack of any communication or information from BA. The email (at 2am, after 7hours of delay) offered a phone number to call that no one answers. The app says to contact the BA rep at the airport - there isn’t one.
And now BA, you have just moved the flight to 14:30!! That’s 20 hours delay on a flight that takes 1.5 hours. Still no BA staff here, no assistance, no SMS or email, just an updated departure time on the app. A response please!
So now the flight is on the app as departing at 10:am. There is no BA rep here, no-one organising hotels, we are all just left sitting in the airport. Come on, BA!
It was such a joy to lead this concert tonight - a beautiful new violin concerto from @Camille_Pepin, played magnificently by @RCapucon and Mahler 1 with the marvellous @nationaldefce! Bravo tutti!
La cheffe australienne @SYoungConductor est à la tête du @nationaldefce pour diriger, en création mondiale le "Concerto pour violon et orchestre" de @Camille_Pepin, avec @RCapucon en soliste. Puis la 1ère Symphonie "Titan" de Gustav Mahler, en 2ème partie.
