It's an airline that flies me where I want to go, reliably.

But but but ... I'm probably being a bit xenophobic here, it's British. We love America, but we're British. And when we board a BA aircraft we are 'home'. No disrespect to the American staff at IAD, most of whom are excellent. But once we've had our fix of "Do you want fries with that?" and are heading home, there's something comfortable about hearing an English accent again.

Daft ... I just don't know how to express the emotion. I love 'being there' but when it's time to come home it's nice to start the journey with a palpably British airline.
