I was coming back from Montreal, when the incoming plane turned around, reportedly due to one the GPSes failing, and that not being allowed for an overseas flight. This caused a six hour delay on our departure from Montreal. On the positive side we had lounge access to the Air France lounge (that BA uses) and amazingly they extended their closing time from 10pm to half past midnight to accommodate the waiting passengers. Well done!
Also, since the plane configuration changed, I was treated with an upgrade to economy extra. Thank you!
The Air France lounge had a nice sofa and a Concorde model... and I hit my head to it while plugging my charges in underneath :-) There was also a shower, came to much use after a day of skiing and caving and hiking.
Meal on the Montreal - Heathrow leg:
Meal on the Heathrow - Helsinki leg (Finnair). Looks a bit ugly but was quite good!
