Flying BA mate he was lucky to have arrived with that much.
Don't knock BA, Roy, we flew back from London to Sydney with BA last year and had a marvellous flight

. Our English friends all told us "you'll be sorry", but BA were great. We arrived in Sydney...on time...and even better, so did our luggage - all of it, and at the same time we did

How good is that?

BTW, we didn't go out of the infamous Terminal 5, we left from Terminal 4 which was a bit of a mess, due to refurbishing.
