I got a later flight to Newark but only the next morni g flight to chicago instead of same evening flight. I spent alL night by myself in the airport with no one to talk too and the hostess at Heathrow threw it all on elal although the flight was only 20 minutes late and this was not the reason they did not put me on the flight. When I was waiting for my boarding card at heathrow I told them a few times that my flight was at 16:15 but no one paid attention.
In addition to all that my luggage arrive only on Saturday April 7th and I was mistreated by ba personnel who did not give me the right information and said that they never got my luggage from elal although elal had confirmation from ba that it went on flight ba295 to chicago on march 31st, than it was supposed to be on aa3730 from Newark to Chicago on April 5th(not clear why it went back to Newark) and eventually went from Newark to Chicago on April 6th in the evening arriving to me on the 7th and all the Information I got was not from ba employees who did not want to talk to me telling me to talk to elal and even hanged the phone on me

International departures close out 1 hour prior to departure Because the EL AL flight arreived 20 minutes late, it cut into your connection time and arrived 20 minutes before the departure of tghe BA flight. Not sure why you did not book the nonstop ELAL/AA Interline flights to EWR/JFK and onto ORD. You would have saved time, and aggravation. Once the flight is closed thats it. AA/BA did the right thing by rebooking you for the next departures. As far as the luggage, I have heard LHR is not easy for luggage transfers......
