Flyers find crates of frozen fish on conveyor belt instead of their bags as British Airways bungles!

<p>
British Airways passengers were shocked to find crate after crate of frozen fish arriving on the conveyor belt instead of their luggage at Heathrow airport, according to a <em>BBC</em> report.</p>
<p>
Becca Braunholtz, from Sherborne, Dorset, said the boxes of sea bass and sea bream were delivered to Terminal 5 of Heathrow Airport on Monday.</p>
<p>
<em>BBC</em> cited her as saying that there were at least 100 boxes of frozen fish on the conveyor belt, all with stickers for JFK Airport in the US.</p>
<p>
Passengers said wave after wave of frozen fish kept arriving at the conveyor belt but there was no sign of their baggage.</p>
<p>
British Airways staff had no explanation as to why the bungling had taken place with cargo arriving at a passenger terminal. </p>
<p>
Eventually passengers without their luggage were given claim forms and advised to go home.</p>
<p>
In a statement, the airline apologised and said most passengers on the flight received their bags as normal.</p>

"We've apologised to our customers and we have been reuniting them with their luggage after realising that something fishy was going on," it added.</p>
