Indeed especially when after pointing out she used to be cabin crew she comes out with some slightly ridicules lines like:

No doubt about it, the wide-bodied A330 is a beautiful aircraft, not at all claustrophobic and those giant Rolls Royce engines below the wings are a comforting sight.
Perhaps she used to work on a cessna?

an announcement was made to fasten seat belts over our blankets...
What is so unusual about that??? Very standard practice on night flights.

extremely comfortable seats which recline almost to full bed length

Indeed they are, but then they are pushing "The Business" as well.
They have had full page ads in the JC and the Jewish News every week for months now, not to mention huge outdoor advertising in Israel.

BD deserves to do well on the route and as long as they keep the prices competitive I think they will.
PE seems to be selling at the moment for less than BA's WT+ and you cannot even compare the two products.
