The reason i say go via a Europhean base is simple.Beacuse we find that the airports we connect throught and not only well designed but there easier to navagte then LHR. AMS for instance is just one huge terminal which is great. I mean lets take a good friend of the famliy for instance. He is flew to KIX last year on business and he said to me which airline do i fly with. He said that BA dont fly there so i said AF LH or JL from a Continental Airport. He chose AF and he said that the terminals are well designed in paris and it is easier to connect through CDG then it is LHR.
This doesn’t stack up with the opinion of most of the frequent travellers I know. CDG is just as much of a dog to connect through than LHR because of its staggerred terminal system.
BA is soon going to be loosing out on connecting passengers beacuse AF KL LH LX and other carriers are moving into our local airports making it easier to connect through there on terminal airports to the rest of the world. Also dont forget middle eastern carriers such as EK moving into local airports.One recent one is the one in september EK and NCL brilliant for NCL aswell as the local region and it gives us northerners wishing to go to Asisa/the Oceianic Region a chance to escape the hussle and bussle of LHR and go to a well designed one temrminaled airport such as DXB.
These carriers have been in the regions providing flights to their hubs for generations, it isn’t a new phenomenon.
Just a pitty that BA couldnt predict the future oh we might of well seen such routes to DXB KIX NRT LAX SFO from Airports across the County (NCL MAN GLA and BFS
Or how about following the exact same business model as all these other airports and investing in their hub airport to improve the transit experience?
