RE: Britannia
[updated:LAST EDITED ON 18-07-02 AT 11:37 AM (GMT)]To add a little more detail to my experience:
You always used to get a newspaper on BY – apparently no more.
Our flight attendants were stroppy; e.g. My wife’s headphones didn’t work so we asked for some more. The Stewardness bluntly replied, “well I may as well just be a headphone monitor today eh”.
The cabin interiors were shabby. The arm of the seat in front dropped off nearly a dozen times in the flight. (No exaggeration). They simply looked warn; I’m more referring to AH as this was far worse than AL.
The last time I flew with them – they really proved they were the best and were spotless!
Now Air 2000 (I last used them on a NCL-TFS route in 2000) and they were perfect. A chatty captain (always telling you what was going on and the science of it), great service and clean and tidy aircraft. Also free newspapapers.
Of course I only fly a couple of times a year so cannot really make a fully informed judgement, but, in the experiences I’ve had, Britannia didn’t appear to be as professional as they used to be.
I’m flying next on a JMC A330 later in the Autumn – looking forward to that. Anyone had an experience of JMC’s 330’s yet? Or their service generally? I’ve never flown JMC before though I did fly on an Airtours A330 last year – beautiful aircraft and surprisingly good service.
