Excellent report, Comet. 🙂 BA are an excellent airline, shame about your baggage!

Maybe OneLeft can give some reason. Can you give a reason as to why then Comet flew BA1387 she got the ‘breakfast wrap’, but when I flew on BA1389 I only got a cereal bar? Is there a cut off time for ‘proper’ food? 😉

The BA meal policy can be found on this link https://ukprepin.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/ukprepin.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2195&p_created=1141992493&p_sid=zd7GvHqi&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPSZwX3NvcnRfYnk9JnBfZ3JpZHNvcnQ9MjoyJnBfcm93X2NudD0xNDImcF9wcm9kcz0mcF9jYXRzPSZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0yJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9Y3VzdG9tZXIgb2Ygc2l6ZQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1

If the flight is delayed it should still get the meal that was planned as it is ordered in advance

I am surprised EZY got in the press before FR on this one. This is usually a prime topic for the O’Leary toys to start flying (maybe he got a nice new shiny one for Christmas and doesn’t want to damage it yet 😀 )

On the other hand though cast your mind back to when Barclays bank bought a share in LTN and EZY went all out there to expose the charge and actively publicised the charge for what it was

And why has such a charge not been announced at the other two airports in the group?

I gotta feel sorry for BA and all the people who arent gunna be with those relatives, girlfriends/boyfriends for Christmas :([/QUOTE]

The general public and BA staff – yes I feel sorry for them, having been caught up in the August chaos I feel for them.

BA – No sympathy for them at all, they have put their eggs in the Heathrow basket

what a/c will they use on the NCL/LGW route? Will be 733’s the same as MAN/LGW?

Yep the dash is my fav as well – you have snapped it perfectly Robert

Strangely enough the Dash is prob the best a/c i’ve flown recently, followed by the BAcon ERJ145

And why are Ryanair the most profitable?

£7 to put your bag in the hold
£5 if you want to one of the first on the plane
Ridiculously priced food & drink on board
Hard sell duty free
SCRATCHCARDS???

Just as an example

BA GLA-LHR

£36 single fare if booked in advance
Hold baggage included
Allocated seating
Food/Drink included on board
£3 single tube fare to central London

Total £39

FR PIK-STN

Flight 1p taxes £9.99 – total £10
Bag £7
Priority ‘beat the scrum’ boarding £5
Cup of tea £1.50
Stan-ex to central London (ran by ONE britains most unreliable train operating company) £15

Total £38.50

Some people will slate me for saying it but is the 50p – yes 50p saving really worth travelling cattle class with FR?

Meant to add i’m surprised they are not keeping INV/LGW and returning it to mainline i’ve boon on those services a lot over the past 9 months and they are always quite busy, also one of the few BACON flights I have taken and seen them actually sell a lot food & drink
