I have one. Charter flight to Cancun, middle-aged lady in front of me, presumably dehydrated and disoriented, fell down the stairs on arrival. We found out on the return flight that she had died.

She died because of dehydration on the flight? Was there nothing to drink onboard at all?

BOB. I suspect lots of people drink less than they should when water is Ł10/litre.

Of course in FT code that means its not BA's responsibility to clean their planes between flights and these offenders should be banned etc etc.

I heard recently that the extra rubbish (from people bringing their own stuff / meals etc) to take off planes is costing BA quite a bit.

Alex Cruz said that customers like the choice and they are choosing to bring stuff on instead of buying M&S grub BA is peddling. Who wudda thunk it

You can remove them from the lounge, but only in your stomach

I guess it is best to binge in the lounge so you don't get hungry or thirsty on the plane!
