It got worse. 1F did the same thing with the bulkheads, 1A encroached a full two inches past the centre line of the central divider with her broadsheet and was rewarded with a barely audible yet still emphatic harrumph, and there was a constant flow of screeching ET babies using the club toilet to change nappies.
Will be switching to Lufthansa soonest.

yes to both. And he was sneezing all over the cabin, which, had I not also been sneezing all over the cabin, would have warranted another harrumph.

I wonder has anybody ever witnessed a member of CC having the gumption to say to such offenders - politely of course, though authoritatively :
“We would ask you please to not treat our aircraft in this way” ....... ?
One would like to think (as delusional as it might seem, I know .... ) that the possibility of the request being overheard by nearby passengers would have some sort of ‘shaming’ effect.

What an ordeal - flight from hell.
I wonder how many Avios it is worth.
I think you should go home & recover. If you were planning to drive then get a taxi & charge BA. They cant expect you to be safe to drive after an experience such as that.
Seriously though this is why I could never work with members of the public as Id walk around furious all of the time.

Bisonrav, thank you, thank you, thank you.
It's nearly 03:30 am Sydney time and I am still working and was starting to nod off as I started work at 07:30 am (which is now 'yesterday'). I still have 4 hours of work to do before I leave the house at 09:00 am to get to the airport to catch a flight. I popped over to FT BAEC forum to find something to wake me up.
It did not disappoint.
Your post made me giggle so much that I stopped nodding off and now I am refreshed enough to tackle more work

Contingency planning. The 1410 was too close to the arrival time from Doha to risk with bag collection and check in, and the 3pm easy jet wasn't much better though OK HBO. So I had a booking on the 2100 with three bags, with the intention of switching to the earlier BA if time permitted, which it did. Family booked on easyJet throughout so they got home at a reasonable time.

But then I don't keep my shoes on inside, so it'd be socks.
