  2. Class separation will be based not on little luxuries or leg room, but on how much tolerance is granted for you to move around the aircraft without permission.
  3. In Y the seat belt sign will be on virtually permanently and you'll need to ask permission to exit your seat for any reason, including the use of the toilet.
  4. In J and F more tolerance will be allowed to make your own decision...its what you've paid for.
  5. Aisle seats sold at a premium. No BAEC level will allow for free seat selection.
  6. Cabin crew work areas will be strictly designated...and as a passenger you'll be prevented from entering for any reason. No chatting up the stewardess.
  7. Face masks will be compulsory at all times and in all classes except when consuming food or drink. More tolerance in J and F.
  8. Meals (such as they are) will be cold, in a cardboard box and handed out by crew in PPE. Only in J and F will hot meals will be served...its what you've paid for.
  9. No booze in Y, but available at meal times in J and F...but outside of meal times by use of call bell only. You can't just wander down to the Club kitchen as it won't exist.
  10. Boarding will be by rows located furthest back in the aircraft...to prevent people squeezing unnecessarily past each other. No more passengers in Y trooping past those in J.
  11. Similar for exiting.
  12. Hand luggage rules rigorously applied and use of disinfectant spray tunnels.
  13. Body temperatures taken prior to passport control and prior to boarding
  14. Contactless payment only.
  15. Self check-in only with paperless boarding
  16. High air fares the order to the day.
Have I missed anything...??

17. Any passenger removes their mask and refusies to wear it during the flight, pilot diverts to the nearest airport and local plod arrest you for endangering the aircraft and passengers or whatever they call it.
