Thank you, ByrdluvsAWACO, for your clear, straight-forward, comprehensive reply!
Swiss Tony: The flight is from London to Australia on either BA or Qantas. At least that is what the BA website says.
Hammer: I will likely be forced by schedule to fly on BA sometime. And who knows... BA might actually change their NAEC behavior someday and turn back into a decent airline. Frankly, their people and their equipment are great. They also have the best schedules in my market. Their anti-customer attitude is the only thing wrong with them. July 1, 2003 was a very black day in my life.
