T5 First Lounge Magazines
on a visit yesterday morning it seems the magazine selection is getting even worse, no business traveler although this was handed out in club Europe. only "decent" option seemed to be a new statesman which i read occasionally to reconfirm my center right viewpoint. a random selection of unknown and foreign language offerings seems to be it. Please bring back the spectator and other decent options BA.

I'll start another thread on the PressReader thingy - it's quite a good initiative, though it is in trial mode (or so I was told).
EDIT: Here is the specific thread on PressReader
BA trialling PressReader for its customers
I bet it is! Does the signal work down the the Crew Report Centre or are you all sitting in Pilots hacking down the data?

Personally although I support Pressreader and think it’s a great new service to offer I like the physical copy of a newspaper or magazine onboard.
When I was in the F lounge a few months back I thought the magazine selection and newspapers were excellent. Certainly better than the Club lounge upstairs!
