Bombs away....

that's crazy people could have been on a connecting flight when they got to Dubai and missed it just because of a smelly toilet !
 
Read the report and I cannot help but think it will be slightly more than just a smelly poo...the captain isn't going to go into great detail as to what the issue is, but I'd wager it was a blocked of overflowing toilet, which needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible otherwise it will potential do a massive amount of damage to the airframe and could result in it being out of services for much longer than a simple system repair, as cabin fittings would need to be removed to be deep cleaned to make sure there's no risk of corrosion etc...

As to connections, if any were missed the airline will have to make sure they get to destination, well assuming it's part of the same booking, if not they could be seriously out of pocket, I'm not sure if or what interline/codeshare agreements BA have with EK or any other carrier who could be offering connections at DXB, they likely still have agreements with QF but beyond that I'm not sure I'd wager on that flight the majority will just have tickets between LHR and DXB as frankly of your connecting via DXB you'd fly EK
 
BA were on to a loser either way here.
Fly on with a sanitation issue and it would be all over t***ter.
Turn back because of said sanitation issue....and it's all over t***ter.
As Matt said, BA would be obligated to fly all passengers to destination at no additional cost on the first available flight, be that BA or codeshare (EK if you were lucky enough!).
An overnight delay means hotel accommodation and meals.
Another case of social media users making mountains out of molehills.
 
what a load of crap :banana::banana::banana:

Oh I didn't know about that
that they would fly us to the final destination
I was thinking about the last time we went away we flew to dubai from Manchester then caught a flight to Lusaka (Zambia)
we saved up for more than two years for that trip and if we had not been able to get to Zambia it would have been a disaster for us
we flew Emirates but I expect the same applies
