Where of course there is a big environmental saving is the lack of papers and magazines like high life on board planes where every extra gramme costs a lot taken over a month multiplied by the number of flights and seats on the plane costing a lot in fuel. BA must be saving a lot here and certainly the savings offset the cost of mailing out high life to many of us every month.
