I was possibly somewhat obtuse I did not dislike the food, but thought how much better BA’s offerings are for such a length of flight. Now oddly enough, the legroom was questionable, because of the positioning of the seats, and the various equipment wasn’t the amount of legroom to stretch out one’s feet that I thought. Indeed on our following flight on Alaska Horizon Still I take your point.

That said, when I look at what European carriers charge when not flying to London the difference is flaring. CDG-LIS is extremely expensive as they do not have I equivalent fares.

Let me be clear that I find it irritating that there are so many service delivery differences or indeed lapses, and suspect that they lack experience or training. Where I am forgiving is when I see people working hard and trying hard to aim to please their clientele.
