Is the new CW food finally on every route now? Describing a 200 thread count CW pillow as 'luxurious' suggests they don't really get luxury.

That said, the alliance - due to expire in 2020 - has attracted the interest of the Competition & Markets Authority, of which more here

My last flight (from Boston) is the only one where it was announced it was available, though it has been available if you look for it on others. (My flights are LH only, so don't know about SH.)

As much as I’m not a fan of the debundling that Y has been going through globally on SH and LH amongst most airlines. Fares are as cheap as they have ever been.
BA may have made a lot of cuts in services/features etc in the last few years, which I don’t always agree with. But fares are very low when you can grab them.

Please, how long did it take to work up that list. And you might as well have Ł6.5 billion written on the side of bus for all the credibility such a claim can have.
its typical BA, jam tomorrow and flummery with the existing layout.
i won’t be paying to fly this year in long haul there are far to many better options out there starting with Oneworld and in fare terms some of the other alliances. Airlines that deliver premium service, not that talk about it.

That's the primary revenue source on longhaul? Wouldn't have been my guess given the relatively modest cabin sizes for this class in typical BA configurations but I would defer to those on here with greater knowledge (one of whom will no doubt be along shortly to correct me)....
