Turkish Airlines. Again.

In amongst the 135 bags on the plane, was a little Jack Russell in a travel container. The pilot popped his head into the hold and told us the dog was to be given to the passenger at baggage reclaim.

I told him to go fuck himself, Animal Reception had to collect it. He was most insistent and said it had all been authorised. I took the dog with me, chucked the 135 bags onto the reclaim belt and then went into reclaim with the dog. Two passengers approached me and I ignored them and went straight into the "red channel" and plonked the quivering hound on the desk. The Border Farce bloke gazed at me and I told him what had transpired. His jaw dropped. He phoned Animal Reception who also said that this was completely out of order and - furthermore - Turkish Airlines don't have a licence to bring live animals into Gatwick...we later found out that the dog had been booked on the plane as a passenger  eeek:

This happens every year at about this time. An A320 simply cannot hold that number of bikes.  The easyJet booking website should be cleverer than it is. I'm surprised that only 16 were left behind - the loaders did a great job to get the rest of the bikes and the bags on, it must have been totally rammed.  We have mentioned this to easyJet before...
