How are other people's reports "skewed?"

Do you think people dump dirt at their seat and rip up lounge furniture for photo ops?

In fact, BA insiders have told us BA management knows they have to improve the cleanliness of planes and upgrade inflight offerings in CW. We know they wouldn't be doing if it wasn't an issue, so it really makes your assertion nonsense.



We also know sometimes people confuse their first-hand experiences as with your report during the first MF industrial action.

Thank you! I am doing BA because I am burning some Avios and have the Lloyds Free upgrade voucher.

I seem to recall the fish dish was surprisingly tasty for airplane fish. CE on both routes was completely full, and cabin crew responded to call bells promptly as several people asked for additional drinks late into the flight and there were no apparent shortages even for our neighbors that asked for multiple champagnes.

If CE were always this consistent, I would feel it is worth the premium (especially when part paid by Avios like I did).
Excellent, thats a good benchmark as it was only a few months ago. Only difference for me is I will be doing the A320 there and back 100%.

So far CE is showing 7 rows ATH-LHR and 5 rows LHR-ATH but I guess this is set to change. I won't pay 20-24 GBP depending on the row just to choose my seat as I am a lowly Blue, but I really hope I manage to bag a window seat.
