@British_Airways @DNATA @BA_USA #AirlineFail @British_Airways #GrinchAirline @BA_USA
Delays leaving GVA=28 min
Delays arriving LHR=26 min
My flight GVA-LHR=1h52 min
BA refuses connection rebooking until I stand in LHR line
I arrived 2+h before flight
Yesterday's lectures+flight pkg cancelation for 3min delay??

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways @DNATA #kindnesstravels NOT @British_Airways @BA_USA
🤢
You KNOW I will miss LHR-JFK connection b/c 2h delay
I was 2+h early after timeliness lectures
BUT when lounge cust service called you still refused to proactively rebook *because I already checked in*
Will be back of Q in LHR👎

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@DaveWallsworth @British_Airways Nonsense
You already cost me one day of holiday+cost of entirely rebooking my holiday flights at the last minute since I was 3min late
@DNATA refused to help
BA call centre + @British_Airways refused to rebook
🚫Online+app checkin
1st Flight today=2h delay #AirlineFail
#Silver

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@BA_HelpChatDM done

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways I am not a NO SHOW. I was in front of the agents at 1213.

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways So, @DNATA agent says not possible, though they were ready to tell call centre they could see me in front of them
BA-who are supposed to help me-would not tell how to do, talk to the agent for confirmation, or listen when I repeated that the gate agent said she did not have a way

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways I want my return flight back. And a refund.

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways Huge fail this afternoon. Your DNATA agents wouldn't help me when I was 3 min late for checkin (website and app not working). Even though I was in front of them, they marked me no show, canceling almost 3k worth of flights, including business class return #Silver

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways They were in front of me and refused to help
The 2 BA flights I took this wkd were both late
Sauce for the goose?
I don't need lectures; I need help
Would have assumed at least a little support for Silver Executive member but have not even gotten nice after 3h of effort
For shame

[Catherine Kane @readycat]

@British_Airways Same clinical response I got earlier
I'd have liked a boarding pass, but your site doesn't work
Nor does your app
I was told gate agents needed to make a note so I could get rebooking help
1 hr wait, but agents said no way to make a note
BA call centre wouldn't say how

@OldeWorldOrder @russvought @ENERGY To clarify
You would like American workers fired from their jobs without cause because the Republican White House, Senate and House leadership have failed to negotiate and engage in earnest discussion regarding funding priorities?

Should kids just “get the disease” instead of being vaccinated?
Can vaccines really overwhelm a child’s immune system?
Who decides what vaccines we get—and why?
