RE: Report!

My last BA short haul was Glasgow/Gatwick in October and it was the first time I felt unimpressed by the service. We boarded our 737-300 and left on time. During the inflight safety demo, I happened to glance out of my window to catch and marvel at the sight of an AA B767 touching down in the rain (well who wouldn’t ?) This resulted in a stern telling off by the cabin stewardess next to me and some frosty looks from the rest of the passengers. Not that I’m in the habit of ignoring in-flight safety briefings you understand.

Thinking I was in the bad books, as the filty looks continued throughout the journey, I was a little miffed to discover I was deliberately being served last with the inflight refreshments. I actually got up to look and the cabin crew had served everyone from the back of the plane to the row behind me and from the front of the plane to the row in front and beside mine. I was in a row of 3 seats, occupied by just myself !

Naturally the choice of sandwiches was the usual meat or vegetarian selection, but lo and behold they ran out of my preferred option. I settled for a bag of some unidentifiable crisp-like snack and a wee tin of Stella Artois.

All this for being unable to resist the lure of a passing silver bird splashing down in dramatic weather conditions !!!!

Doh… I ask ya ?
