Worst flight ever
Flight on the way out to Alicante was delayed by 2 hours which was air traffic controls fault so cannot really blame BA for this part of the journey. Pilot was informative and crew professional . Return flight 10th Sept ‘23’ whole different story. Arrived at the airport 11:00pm ready for 01:30 flight, lined up to be told by other passengers the plane has not left Gatwick yet and we will not be leaving until 03:30 at the earliest. Already knew it was going to be a rowdy flight with drunk young passengers who were loud, obnoxious and anti-social in the airport. Board 03:20, had to wait in Tunnel for 20mins, man used his child as priority boarding by pushing past passengers, got his own way. Teenagers/ early 20’s sitting 2 rows in front started because no room in overhead lockers so felt it necessary to call the whole cabin a bunch of c£&ts. Taxied onto runway only to return to back where we started. The family from the tunnel and the rowdy drunk girls from the airport arguing had to be removed from the flight. Luggage removed. Flight finally underway 6am. Staff - pilot apologetic and informative. Crew - nothing, in fact one found it whole thing hilarious and talking with the nasty girls 2 rows in front allowing them to goad the police to remove the other passengers and calling out names, swearing, chanting. This behaviour was clearly ok for the crew member. They should have also been taken off.
