BA are obviously making so much profit they won't even take my money at present.......either that or I'm one of the undesirable customers they don't want
Did get the £15 Ryanair style exit row seat charge but that disappeared at check-in.
The new website looks like they're becoming Ryanair with all the seat charges, "continue to extras" for "adds a bag at £35" etc.
Better get used to having to pay these if I fly BA after my card expires next year....
Was going to book a BA flight to GOT from MAN.
Only £207 if I fly out at 6:05am and want to arrive sometime late in the evening.
FR was a direct flight arriving at 8:45am, just over £17 with a small bag (paid £8.50 for a standard seat and could have added priority for £25, including the seat, and added a 20kg check in bag for £21.99). Pretty much £63-£70 if i added everything.
Yes there's no lounge, and I miss the joys of LHR, 10-20TP and a handful of Avios, but a third of the price all in and I get there a good 10 or so hours earlier... definitely don't miss BA with deals like this that make me exactly the cheapskate they don't want!
