3. 25C has been removed allowing passengers waiting for the adjacent toilet to stand next to you as they wait - very nice!
4. the proximity of the toilet allows you hear most of what is going on in that toilet - yuk
I find these seats unacceptable for the prices BA are charging. At any price let alone Y class fares - these seats are the last ones allocated so if like me, you are the last person to buy a ticket you will get allocated them and pay the highest fare !
Thanks BA - what a treat and a clear signal to use Lufthansa more
And this is why I love FT – just changed a booking LHR-DUB, and when I went in to have a look myself and my travelling companion had been allocated 25A and 25B, the mystery duo pair at the back. Glad I came on here to read up on them!
Exit Rows appear to be taken unfortunately*, but needless to say I have allocated us other seats.
