@British_Airways@HeathrowAirport PLEASE DO NOT reply with another automated link. We need this escalated to an actual British Airways baggage agent / Heathrow baggage operations team who can open the missing PIRs and confirm where our bags are being routed. DM me immediately.
@British_Airways This was NOT simply a cancelled flight. We had already been travelling since 6AM, endured hours of delays at Heathrow, BOARDED the aircraft, sat there waiting, and then had the flight cancelled around 6PM. That was only the beginning.
After the delays, boarding, cancellation, hours spent trying to retrieve our luggage, being stranded overnight, and now being unable to even REPORT 3 missing bags because BA’s system doesn’t recognize passengers on its own reservation — this level of handling is completely unacceptable.
@British_Airways The way this disruption has been handled is completely unacceptable. We spent the entire day at LHR dealing with hours of delays, were boarded, had our flight cancelled, then spent HOURS trying to recover our luggage only to leave Heathrow without any of our bags. Now, after everything we have already dealt with, your baggage system will only allow ONE of four passengers on the exact same booking to report a delayed bag. The other 3 bags are sitting somewhere at Heathrow with no reports because YOUR system refuses to recognize the passengers. We are now paying to arrange our own transportation to Ibiza. We need Heathrow baggage operations to intervene immediately. DM me NOW.

I'm European.
I recently visited the USA for the first time since 2018, hitting up Las Vegas and New York City.
What I witnessed left me stunned.
15 American oddities I still can't wrap my head around:
Everything is supersized, from drinks to cars.
At the Fontainebleau in Vegas, my "small" Diet Coke was nearly a liter.
Drinks are consistently 50% larger than Europe, with no option to downsize.
The same goes for food portions & vehicles – everything is just bigger in the US.
Stepping into a casino for the first time was wild.
I couldn't believe my eyes, watching people chain-smoke and lose money on slot machines.
It was both fascinating and super sad.
Everything is designed to hijack your dopamine, even when you know better.
"How are you?" is thrown around too casually.
As a German, I'm not used to exchanging pleasantries with strangers such as cashiers like that.
It feels kind of fake to ask a question that no one really wants an honest answer to, but I guess it's part of American social norms.
