What an adventure! I’ve not flown Finnair for a while but pre-Covid, always had good flights to HEL and back with them.
Ive also flown Swiss a fair few times, both in economy and Business, including a J trip to Tel Aviv via ZRH. Much better than BA by far.

Agree! It's a breath of fresh air now not being a slave to BA. A lot of the times, I am finding that the competition is far superior to anything BA offers!

I’ve found it amusing, of late, to read how many people have finally had the chance to try other airlines and realise that, at times, the competition is as good, or better than BA. It’s a shame that it took something as drastic as a change to the BAEC, which I liked in its original form.
BA are usually the most convenient carrier for me on domestic and some European flights and I have had some really good CE flights in the last 2 years. Having said that, I’ve had some mediocre and a couple of poor flights in CE in that time too. Which is why it’s so frustrating; when BA get it right, CE is a decent offering in the European market; when it’s poor, I wonder why I bothered.
