For example, you pay top £ for a J seat and expect your bag to be prioritised and come off first. Yes I do too and with CX it happens 95% of the time. But the board tells us this is not an advertised benefit, and if it is, you should not expect to receive such promised benefit.
I've just decided not to take much of a sense of entitlement with me when I fly. I'm just another customer. The colour of the shiny card, the booking class on the ticket, perhaps ought to make a difference, but they frequently don't. The priority bag tags
certainly make very little difference
Re: the BA enthusiast bit, I've flown l/h with EY and QR within the last month. The EY service was great, the QR service was pretty chaotic and muddled. However, the previous time I flew with EY the crew were downright rude.
I know someone who flew BA F within the last few days and had simply horrible service. I've had fairly grim BA F service too .. however I've also had excellent service from BA, but I don't actually see much correlation between the cabin and the service, although YMMV. Best BA service of 2013 was in WT+, worst was in F. "Go figure" as some would say.
