This particular someone happens to fly 125,000+ miles a year back and forth across the Atlantic, nearly all of it business related and none of it on BA. I also fly BA a number of each times a year, within Europe only. They invariably treat me in a way that makes me wish I hadn't, though the lure of intra-Europe nonstop flights makes me come back to be abused again and again. Far from smug, I seriously lament that the "world's favourite airline" is so far from being that that I simply cannot fly it longhaul. The differences in booking, price and service compared with US, Canadian and Australasian airlines are too great. Just don't accuse me of being a once-a-year holidaymaker.
