I got the "Since you last travelled with British Airways from London Gatwick, we’ve moved to the South terminal and invested a great deal to improve your journey through the airport."

Pretty amazing given that I last travelled through Gatwick on Monday and it's only Thursday now. Had to have some coffee before re-reading!

RAK is a bit nicer too (jet bridges) and a new lounge opposite the gate but still a poor lounge..

LGW has gone from my one to avoid list to good for departing only..

I use Gatwick every 6-8 weeks and have now done my 3rd flight since the move to the South terminal. Next Departure is beginning of May.


But I never got the email - is it of any interest? Worth posting in full?

Hi guys! received that one too this morning.
What really worries me is the "official" comparison to Easyjet and Ryanair at the bottom of it...

< We’re proud to let you know that we were more punctual than Ryanair and Easyjet on short haul departures from London Gatwick in 2016 >

At least it's better than saying <we've turned BA into a LLC like Easyjet & Ryanair and we're proud to let you know we're still more expensive than them> :p

ahahah fair enough!! I am afraid the more Alex Cruz stays the more we will see such comparisons though...

The reason my wife and I stopped using LGW is that BA, in their wisdom
, stopped all flights from MAN To LGW.:td:

Amusingly, the e-mail managed to find its way into my spam folder.

No and probably not, but:
