Those considering flying to France to avoid the ongoing chaos caused by Thursday's Channel Tunnel fire may wish to think again: major operators including British Airways and Air France have been accused of cashing in by charging £600 for flights between London and Paris. Though BA protest this is the standard price for a late booking in business class, and claim they have increased capacity by running larger aircraft, a French passenger group accused them......

T5 - the new Terminator sequel in which desperate humans do battle with out-of-control machines at Heathrow Airport. The sorry debacle is now enshrined in song, courtesy of Tom Soong, who wanted revenge on BA for losing his wedding clothes days before the ceremony. Warning - contains an image of an ass.......

More T5 woe: BA postpones long-haul move Still, at least homeless folk are being helped out by the Heathrow chaos Cops to be electronically tagged; just like the crims, then, eh? Strike saga stumbles on - tube workers votes for industrial action Working for Lambeth PCT doesn't sound much fun Image courtesy of [windscreenfly.com]'s Flickrstream via the Londonist flickr group.......

Not that this is any surprise to those following the T5 bungle, but plenty of passengers still don't have their bags back, despite all the sorting, dividing, shipping to Milan and magical voodoo that BA has been up to over the past two weeks. Now one passenger, Michael Birtles, managing director of European Rail, who has been missing his bag since T5's opening day, March 27, is trying to speed up the process by offering......

With T5 still a mess, British Airways is getting creative when it comes to trying to clear a backlog of 19,000 bags.

Honestly, did you really ever expect to see that headline? This is what London does better than anybody: ballsing up big civic projects. Think of the Dome, or the Millennium Bridge. It wouldn't be a proper London opening if chaos and confusion weren't part of the mix. Despite all the test runs, T5's first day of operational use quickly turned into a farce. Early teething troubles with the baggage system meant the entire system......

Her Maj has cut the ribbon on Heathrow's Terminal 5. The £4.3 billion node, designed by Richard Rogers, opens for non-Royal business on 27 March. The BBC has all the facts and figures you could ever need. Rather than repeat them, with added quips, we'll simply point you in the direction of our sneak preview and leave you with a few images of this immense addition to London's international transport network.......

BA are to withdraw sponsorship of the London Eye from next month. The airline says its 'sponsorship priorities have changed', and it no longer wishes to support the attraction, which it has sponsored since the wheel's inception. So who's going to take over? Well, it was revealed today that Boris has a £1 million campaign fund to play with. Might we see straw barnets atop every pod? How about Wagon Wheels, those wholesome chocolatey......
