  Lots of woes with insufficient food and drinks loaded on board, lost luggage, and a 53% OT performance. Logistics and planning is not their strength, is it? Slot inheritance needs to be reviewed, they can’t perform, fare paying public needs AL’s who can.

    they can pefrom and often do people need to be relalistic with what they expect. they are a huge airline contending with many challenges at a very over run airport they can perform and do very well hence why they have run for so long

      Well in my experience almost all European carriers provide a better service than BA. Yes they get wrong but not nearly as often as BA. Austrian were outstanding in business class managing a full hot meal on a 60 minute flight with no fuss. Connecting in Vienna was painless. In February KLM from AMS were excellent with very smooth transit thanks in large part to the new scanners.
      Just flown to Hawaii but choose AA flights under BA flight numbers. All the benefits of BA none of the grief. Every flight on time and of course great steak and the ice cream sundae dessert. My wife who flew BA and was delayed and fed some pretty mediocre food in her club suite

  So what does “ “This is the first flight on any airline between Northern Ireland and Germany.” actually mean then?

    It’s the first flight on any airline between NI and Germany because there aren’t any at the moment.

      even lowly Knock airport has a twice a week flight to Cologne in the summer !!

  Guys and ladies, I’ve been on a few paid-for different carriers shortish haul, up to 4.5hrs recently, and my tiny sample would suggest ba is fairly decent still. Maybe it’s down to the crew eh. Mix of cabins. Just went on a 737 800 with sun express to turkey, seats had masses of space in front of legs but no recline amd skinny seats af. Most uncomfortable, had to go the codeine red wine route and slept whole way. 20kg Luggage was included and also a handnaggage upto 8kg. 70 quid all in. But the onboard small wine was 9euros and some hairibos were a fiver. Nuts were a 5er. Horses for courses, I could have paid 133 with BA and been given some 50%fat crisps amd mini bottle water.
