I almost forgot about my own travel facial recognition failure two weekends ago... I ran into the same problem with British Airways at Heathrow a few years ago. Face was scanned at initial entry point, then failed at the gate during boarding. After a few tries at getting the system to match my facial scan from a few hours prior, the gate attendant gave up, had me stand aside, let everybody else board, I got on dead last. Thankfully my wife's face matched, so she got on and managed to keep a spot in the overhead for my baggage.
