BA are usually the most convenient carrier for me on domestic and some European flights and I have had some really good CE flights in the last 2 years. Having said that, I’ve had some mediocre and a couple of poor flights in CE in that time too. Which is why it’s so frustrating; when BA get it right, CE is a decent offering in the European market; when it’s poor, I wonder why I bothered.
Fair comment. I will still use BA I think, but I won't be beholden to them anymore. When BA get it right, you can have a great flight. But more often than not, I'll experience a crew who just can't be arsed. The most consistent thing about BA is the inconsistency! I had a bit of a realisation a few weeks ago - simply pay for whatever cabin on whatever airline you want to fly with and it will be fine!
