Outside of the 380, surely the middle set of loos on the 773 are most suited as they are double width. Those are in traveller of course so it appears we have finally found a benefit of flying in the boiler room. Bravo BA I thought you had forgotten us common folk in the tail as it appears we now have two forms of IFE.

(How they went to the wall with this service offering, I do not know!)

Still one of my favourite airline ads ever.

Scraping the barrel for sure!
Other options available but all dependant on load

Once wifi is allowed, you'll see people wandering down the aisle trying to recognise people from their online profile pics.

I never checked last time I was on AA but does the phones GPS work when connected to wifi or does a smartphone not know its location.

I know on CWLCY when connected to the mobile service the phone could track its route but I'm not sure whether that was GPS or the phone was fed the location through some other way?

I do hope the two lucky gents wiped down the basin as a courtesy to their fellow passengers.

I am sure it does not just have to be pax. If there are only 3 pax the crew might have some extra time on their hands too

The question is whether they breached the 17 minute barrier or remained brief and accordingly polite

Of course no words were exchanged, they had not yet been introduced.

BTW, threads like this are why I love the BAEC Forum....
