Who wants to fly long haul in economy without checked luggage?

Anyway, do you think that with Primera going into administration, they will realise that people want quality, or will they just hike the prices up?

BA's CEO has come from low cost. All he knows is low cost. So... it is hardly surprising. IAG clearly hired him with a view to making Ba more LCC and less premium. And that's what is happening. Buy on board food too. Race to the bottom my friend. despite record profits.
