  1. Friend of mine in the Travel biz sent me this below but he surmises that BA have many employees who review websites etc and even private forums and will get any seriously derogatory remarks about BA removed or face legal action. This article is from 1987 https://www.flightglobal.com/FlightPDFArchive/1987/1987%20-%202206.PDF Though not directly related to BA its more towards Boeing from 1986 http://articles.latimes.com/1986-05-23/news/mn-23699_1_engen
  2. Thanks for that. My daughter has just returned from Thailand on Gulf Air and she was appalled at the food, said on the return she just couldnt eat it it was slop. Yet back in the 80 when Gulf air were flying Tristars I can remember one flight where we were served fillet steak and a very very nice small bottle of red wine with it and this was in economy. How things change
  3. My disgust at BA is their total ignoring of the Air rules, especially for Economy passengers. When they dumped me and loads of others in Thailand 3 years or so back they made no effort to cross book us onto another flight despite there being 5 flight within the following 4 hours running back to the UK. Their UK customer service failed to answer their phones. Their Check in staff at Swampy when we demanded we be cross shipped onto the next available flight as is the rule simply said "Cannot sir" handed us a hastily printed piece of paper then turned their back on us when, at the same time, Busi
  4. Oh god I fucking give up There were over wing exit seats in the 737 which caused horrendous problems. It was because of the Manchester fire that the CAA caused such a rucus about BA putting seats into their 747 and 777 overwing exits. If there had not have been the Manchetster fire no one would have know how dangerous Overwing exits with seats blocking them were. Then BA says theyre going to put Overwing and near overwing exits seats in. Overwing evacuation Photograph showing seats relative to the right overwing emergency exit after the accident. Note the position of the arm rest. The s
  5. Its pretty similar to BA's Facebook pages. Any slightly detrimental posts are removed within minutes and the only posts are seemingly from highly excitable BA supporters. Maybe they wont be so happy when flying BA's 777 Longhaul from next year when they are squeezing in an extra seat in every row. BA's 777's are one of the most uncomfortable planes in the air in any class, their lack of sufficient choice and supply of decent food along with their amazing aloof waitresses (mostly gay males) but its only going to get worse. http://www.cetusnews.com/life/British-Airways--long-haul-passenger-
  6. I havent flown Eva for a long time and then the service was super as I remember it, (but it was ages ago. Whats the service like now? Some reports say the planes are showing their age a bit?
  7. I like seats in row 69 or 70. You get your food quickly and as its up the back sometimes there are a lot of empty seats to stretch out and sleep. Its also good because as you seem to get your food quickly you can then duck to the bogs whilst everyone else is still eating

  9. Sleep Apnoea can be a dangerous thing. My nephew in OZ has it and he has all sorts of contraptions beside his bed to sleep. IIWY I would get up to Bumrungrad and see a specialist.
  10. Look sweetcheeks, you posted: "There is not an airline in the world who would risk the monstrous compensation bill to families if it caused fatalities in an emergency. Boeing would go ballistic. You show me a photo of having no exit access and I will happily concede the point" BA Put seats into the space that Boeing originally left open for the overwing exit. Thats a fact. Its also dangerous and those planes with DIRECT overwing exits that have seat installed are dangerous. Manchester Proved that. Im not chasing around the internet to satisfy your or your other sockpuppet's rabid dribbli
  11. The original big row with BA was about their 777-200's which they wanted to put more seats in.On the original 777's there was a gap where the near overwing exit was. They decided to put a row of seats in on some of the planes to see what would happen. After this they then did the same thing with some of their 747's. Then there was the catastrophic fire at Manchester airport. This effectively stopped BA from fitting more seats in the over wing and near overwing exits. However those planes that had the seats fitted in the overwing spaces are still flying. I believe that the 'Overwing Exits' are
  12. You rabidly claimed. "Blocked the overwing exit.....?? Completely ?? There is not an airline in the world who would risk the monstrous compensation bill to families if it caused fatalities in an emergency. Boeing would go ballistic. You show me a photo of having no exit access and I will happily concede the point" I totally dissproved your rabidly scribbled claim as you didnt even bother checking your facts before slagging me off, If you had checked your facts before posting you wouldnt have made yourself look such a dick, but you didnt, preferring to attack me with a ridiculous unresea
  13. You dont read much aviation news do you or know a lot about aircraft?. BA Blocked the overwing doors on some of their aircraft years back after they got CAA approval because they could still do a complete evacuation of the plane in the required time without it. So they did and put extra seats in. Quite a few airlines have overwing exits blocked now and I was advised that some aircraft didnt even have them. Overwing exits were always smaller than the standard exits and could easily be blocked by overwieght passengers, but BA did it just to get extra money. In Fact one of the reasons for so many
  14. You wouldnt want to be on one of Bloody Awfull's 777's as they have blocked the overwing exit so they could put extra seats in. Scumbags. I will never, ever fly BA again and I will attack them verbally on every forum they post on. They already know me well. Their hilarious Facebook page is infested with all BA staff posting wonderfully things about them. I post insults and they just delete them instantly, they dont like criticism
  15. For anyone that doesnt know and for newbies to buying long haul flights. When youve worked out roughly when you want to go, go online to Google and check when the school Half Term and end of Term Holidays are. Fares will go up substantially at these times, in some cases as much as £100. You can also save a lot of money by moving your dates outside of the school holiday times by just a day or two. I know if you have fixed dates it can be a problem but in school holiday times prices will fluctuate upwards as airlines try and grab as much money as they can. In my wifes case, who has just ret
  16. Well fuck them. A Load of the Car mascots they used were mine as were some of the optics which I gave them. I want them back !
  17. BA Now intends to make Economy passengers or the cheapest ticket holder board last. (IMHO this will cause chaos and slow boarding down) Where do BA get these fuckwit ideas from?? http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-hand-baggage-only-policy-fare-boarding-priority-reaction-plans-date-group-system-a8062741.html http://metro.co.uk/2017/11/18/british-airways-passengers-paying-the-lowest-fares-will-be-forced-to-board-last-7090019/
  18. So many many memories in the old Dianna Inn
  19. I did a lot of gigs at Butlins in the 70's. The place just seemed full of sex mad women of ages from 18 to 88 You knew if you were gigging at Bultins you would 100% get your legover. Not a shadow of doubt. I never got my legover with a BA Waitress though, snotty cows. Banged a SIA wautress in the 80's though
  20. By sucking up to Business and first class passengers and ignoring Economy punters.
  21. I dont tip anyone anywhere apart from maybe giving an all nighter and extra 100 baht. I'm yer original Cheap Charlie. I dont even tip in the US
