I have just completed a GLA-LHR-BHD BHD-LHR-GLA over the weekend. It was well worth it to avoid the Sleazy Jet mob. I received a few comments also.

Firstly from the Security staff at LHR when I went to go to flight Connections and they insisted the BHD flight was from terminal 5 (by the way I wish I had just left the terminal and caught the HEX to Terminal 1, it would have been much quicker - We done this on the way home) and then questioned why I would book such a trip.

Secondly from the check-in agent at BHD who said I had the wrong counter and that I would be traveling with Fly Maybe, when I pointed out that I was going via LHR she seemed a little bemused

And finally from the Cabin Crew on the BHD to LHR who noticed it on the i-pad connection list, when I said it was to avoid easy jet, the reply was "Well I can't blame you for that".

I have booked to do the same thing again at Christmas. I far prefer traveling on BA to any supposedly low cost outfit no matter how short the flight.
