Moss gets 'special treatment' from BA

Kate Moss received an instant compensation payment of £10,000 after being caught up in the Heathrow Terminal 5 chaos.

After arriving in Los Angeles following a flight with BA, the supermodel was horrified to discover that the airline had lost eight of her suitcases.

Included in the lost luggage was Moss's secret new Topshop clothing range, which she had brought to the States for a photoshoot.

A source told the Sunday Mirror: "Kate was caught up in the appalling scenes at T5 and just like thousands of other people experienced first hand the incompetence of BA. But unlike the rest of us, BA staff were fawning all over her. They paid £10,000 right away."

Six of Kate's cases have since been found and returned to her. She will return to London tomorrow following her two-week visit to the US.
