Thank you CCayley.
I think you're right about this being the end of the thread. We should not trade insults - this is about debate, discussion and sharing experiences / ideas.
I apologise for kind of hi-jacking a thread and also for causing friction. The BA staff on this board are all very polite, professional and helpful (and the ladies glamorous I bet
) Anyway, my real point is that too many assumptions have been made and none of us have all the facts. That includes me and I was there.
The only facts we have are:
1. I booked at the last minute
2. BA provided me with fantastic customer service and got me on a flight I had to be on
3. Through this action, a father was split from his family
What may have happened....
1. They were BA or travel industry staff
2. They had already been upgraded
So let's bring this thread to a close and agree to disagree.
Best,
BAPremier
