100% agree. BA must keep 13/14 seats in F!

I did one LH F sector in their new F upstairs on the 747 and I may as well have been on board a private jet. The First Class Terminal was quite extraordinary as was the car transfer to the planes (both short and long haul) and the quality and luxury of the catering and its presentation was out of this world...

BA F is much less glamourous on so many levels, but if that means 'ordinary' people (by that I mean people who can't afford to spend 5 to 10 grand on a flight) can afford to fly it after a bit of shopping at Tesco and I can get last minute F one way trips for 75,000 Avios that suits me ^

I would think twice about flying BA if the best it could do was CW which is good but frankly pretty ordinary. Opups to F are an occasional treat and redemptions into it are very important in keeping me loyal.

So keep F as it is BA! Don't improve it too much or you'll have to cut it
