Well I think you had decided the outcome before the comparison, clearly things on BA did not go right on your trip, which resulted IMO, in your analysis being skewed towards your feelings.

I don't really see how security and time between push back and take off are on BA.

My thinking would be if BA are charging £1100 for CE then they must of sold a fair few seats to be happy at not selling many more.

Personally I think there are times when BA, Ryanair, Easyjet, etc. will all excel and times where they will be sorely lacking.

I have no issues with Easyjet, I think they do the job and give you the most flexibility in what you want to pay for, seats, food for example.

All things equal I prefer BA for the benefits I get from BAEC Silver, however its not a great sample being based in NCL the options are limited.
