Heathrow, terminal 5 and BA!

I'm not so worried about compensation. More about the fact that my usual enthusiasm for travelling has got up and gone!

C4 news have been running a long campaign about the problems of disabled travellers . You could tweet them

We've always written to the Guardian or the Observer with things like this [they used to have a page where they sorted out all sorts of problems]. Amazing what a bit of bad publicity can do [and you could get some financial compensation too].

Simon Calder is the best suggestion so far. this is his website and there is a form for contacting him. You can agree (or not) to having your query published.

Thanks!

Google his name and you can get to page where you can email him - came up straight away --- good luck - pity you had a bad experience there.

How do approach this Simon chap? I've never done anything like this before.
I normally just mutter to myself, but this was unbelievably bad!

I suppose we could all put up a post about the dreadful treatment of a friend. Even of our privacy setting are at the highest, the cookies still work. But I wouldn't want to be swamped by ads from HR.

Twitter seems to be the site that bad companies fear most.

Apparently they don't like facebook either. I am not a facebook user so not sure how putting something on there works.
I have only flown from Heathrow once and decided that if it was the only way to leave the country I would stay at home.

Do you tweet? That always is picked up by the companies involved.

You beat me to it MiceElf. I have the impression that he is a good chap.

Simon Calder of The Independent is the best campaigning travel journalist. He appears on BBC breakfast too. I would imagine a direct approach to him would be the most effective way of publicising your experience.

Daily Mail and Sunday Times who have a very good Travel section.

Following my holiday being ruined by BA ground staff at Heathrow and Athens airports and by the terminal staff ?employed by Heathrow terminal 5!
I wish to make their treatment of disabled travellers apparent to the general public!Your advice would be appreciated.
