I do hope that the OP is not hoisted by his own petard.

Better to blast it out and bear the shame than sneak it out and share the blame.

I believe it's covered under EC261.

According to the confidential compensation list, it's currently 1500 Avios per fart.

Is that irregardless of cabin? Is an F fart really valued the same as a Y fart?

Can't beat a bit of Roger Mellie's profanisaurus. Has kept me amused on many a flight

I ask because there has been a fair bit of feedback recently to BA, that their CC tend not to give the same recognition to elites as do the crews of other OW carriers ; I suspect that what you experienced is the new enhanced form of onboard personal greeting.

For anyone concerned that this may have affected them, note that there is a helpful tailwind indicator in the IFE system.

ExpertFarter should be able to confirm if the fart was outside of the airline's control thus giving some clarity on a potential EC261 claim.

I might have to take this to MCOL. I believe meal choice for CC is within BA's control.

Nothing beats an Air France flight I was on from Seattle to Paris last summer. Some "brilliant" chef put lentil salad on the menu for meal served right after take off. I thoughtfully skipped eating this item for obvious reasons, but unfortunately my fellow passengers did not. The smell after 9 hours was incredible........
