As some have said her complaints have some foundation but launching into a totally unfounded attack on both the staff and passengers is unnecessary. I disagree with the lack of complaining as everyone I know that has had a bad experience with BA has contacted their customer service to complain as have I.
Given the self important drivel on there it is unsurprising to learn that her blog is ranked at 16 million in the world by Alexa which means that's she is lucky if she gets about 50 hits a day!

I'm British and firmly middle class. I moan (seems there's an inane profanity filter on these forums, sigh. People do swear - often - in real life you realise?) when there's an issue on an aircraft, regardless as to whether its my national carrier (BA) or not.

House Rules (which I trust you read before agreeing to them) I’m afraid, and a pretty effective first line of defence from inane posts and inane posters ....

Also, some people don't have much choice other than to fly BA given from the UK they serve by _far_ the most routes.

Almost every network airline serves London, it is not that hard to avoid BA even at LHR. And KLM serves more UK cities than BA does.

It's really difficult to take someone seriously, particularly their complaints, when they call themselves a blogger but do not use spell check!

But that's not the point. The point is that from British airports there is no single airline that covers more routes than BA does. BA is so far ahead on routes it's not even a competition.
I would only ever fly between England, NI and Scotland. I would always get the train within country.
And KLM serves more UK cities than BA does.

I do some of my shopping in Waitrose and some of it in Sainsbury's. Depends which shop I happen to walk past on my way home. Don't have to use the same shop for all my groceries. Same principle applies for airlines.
In any respect, that is only true for nonstop intercontinental flights from London Heathrow.

She's written it like a teenage girl. I was expecting it to start with 'Dear diary....' and phrases like 'oh..my..god'
She's like all the other hideous pantomime dame/villains out there.....Piers Morgan, Kate Hopkins, Walt Disney, Dick Dastardly, Donald Trump....
Underneath it they may make some good sentiments, but it's mixed in with a load of utter tripe.

Who cares? It is what she did say that counts.
