    Alliances and takeovers

    The big difference between joining Star and Oneworld is that Star welcomes pretty much any company that approaches it. To join Oneworld a carrier has to prove the ability to deliver certain services to both its own customers and to those of the other members.

    Swiss is currently working through this process and expects to join as a full member soon. Other carriers rumoured to be interested in joining Oneworld are JAL and EL Al.

    The VS/BD link up has gone by the wayside if you believe The Times and Sunday Business today, with Michael Bishop ‘fending off’ Richard Bransons approaches. Indeed they report BA now looking at a possible take over of either company.

    Thanks

    Thanks for that guys.

    The average cost to an airline for a hot breakfast is about £1.50, so they’ll be making a nice little profit out of this system as well.

    Must be a nightmare for the crew working out who has paid for what!

    I’m sure she’ll enjoy it all the same,

    I think I feel sick!

    The back end of a 757 can be a bit choppy on the best of days.

    I bet the 4 doors were an interesting place to sit on this one!

    Connections

    I think you are allowing plenty of time for your connection.

    Do bear in mind though that if you are travelling on a discounted scheduled ticket (as with your BA ticket to GLA) they are non-transferrable, and as such BA would be very unlikely (and not obliged) to put you on the next flight.

    Whatever you do, have a great trip.
