I have just flown down to NCE on a BA/BD 319. The crew were BA - thank heaven as I am afraid that the BD staff are all demob happy and seem to do little or nothing. No one warned us that the walk to Gate 47 from that BD Intl lounge was 20 mins. As there were 6 of us in there - at most I found that rather unprofessional.

The flight was full but the crew were top class. The Champagne had been iced and the drinks were in the aisle in less than 8 mins from departure. The catering was nothing less than excellent - My fish (the other option was chicken) was delicious and beautifully cooked - not dry or flaky. Excellent.

I short the flight was really most pleasant and we arrived a bit early. Was it worth it - well at what we paid it was. I saw on BA.co that the last seats were selling at over £800 one way! That for CE is too much but otherwise it was delightful.
