Say the pilot prefaces his announcement that we are about to land with the statement, "please make note of the nearest emergency exit." How bad a sign is that?
I think he was simply euphemistically giving his passengers the option to kiss their a...., erm, nm. You landed and you've typed in this entry. That is a good sign. Glad you chose an airline other than British Airways, avoiding Terminal 5 on its inaugural day! ;-)
Unfortunately, when Terminal 5 was inaugurated on March 27th, it went badly wrong! I wondered why Terminal 3 was relatively quiet that day. It was chaos in T5 while we sipped coffee in T3. Thousands of bags still lost, cancelled flights, BA execs losing their jobs, travel insurance companies now refusing to cover lost luggage if transitting through T5, reputation sullied... Be very glad you didn't choose the "world's favourite airline" for your travel plans this time round. ;)
I definitely lucked out, it seems! I mean, normally I steer clear of the first day of anything--always best to wait until the bugs have been worked out--but I didn't realize that it was T5's first day when I booked my tickets!
I will say, though, that I heard three different announcements advising Underground passengers on how to get to T5, and all of them were different. There were several bewildered passengers on my train.
...travel insurance companies now refusing to cover lost luggage if transitting through T5...
Oh dear. I hope that means that they're placing the blame and costs on BA rather than retroactively changing the coverage their clients purchased in good faith.
