Passengers were experiencing difficulties collecting their bags, and there were reports of delays in luggage being loaded onto planes.
Some passengers waited two hours for their bags from a Frankfurt flight that landed at around 0830 GMT.
British Airways confirmed it was experiencing delays on baggage reclaim for incoming flights, blaming staffing issues, in particular problems with "staff familiarisation".
and
Another passenger, Klaus Hausler, said he had been delayed.
"I waited an hour and a half for my bags but could get no information from anyone. It was not good," he said.
There were also complaints about confusing road signs for T5, problems for some people attempting to pay at a car park, and an escalator that had broken down.
But look!
BA chief executive Willie Walsh said "I'm absolutely delighted with the way things have gone so far. I think it's great."
So that'sall right then!! The man is clearly a sadist!

Do you remember when they moved Denver International Airport in Colorado – the whole thing over a weekend?
I think they stopped landings on Friday, moved the whole caboodle to a new airport several miles away and started landings again on Monday. We’re talking thousands of people, vehicles, aircraft, etc. New terminals, baggage systems… blah, blah, blah…
They had it planned to such a fine degree that they predicted (accurately) how many people would die of heart attacks during the move (two I think)…
BA and BAA between them can’t move business a few hundred meters across the airfield without fucking the whole thing up completely.
I despair, I truly do… noooo:
