Skywards Changing for Bad or worse ?
05/07/10 | Forum post in reply to JackyLek

I have been pretty vocal about Skywards' new programme and have to agree that, on balance, I am definitely worse off than I was before. But I have to admit their previous programme was probably the most generous on the market. This downgrade, in...

Skywards Changing for Bad or worse ?
26/11/09 | Forum post in reply to JackyLek

The whole change in the scheme is crystallizing. I tend to agree that, overall, the average traveller may well be worse off under the new scheme. This is a great pity and tends to fly in the face of economic reality. In other words, as economic...

BA to charge for seat selection.
05/10/09 | Forum post in reply to Airpocket

While airline charges generally are very labyrinthine, this move by BA really does take the biscuit! Please will they explain where the actual COST comes into seat selection? In my opinion, not only will this have zero impact on cost reduction...

No washbags on BA Club
17/07/09 | Forum post in reply to HongKongPhooey

Completely unacceptable! Symptomatic of an airline in a mess. As another reader correctly points out, the least they could do is to have a copious supply of toothpaste, toothbrushes etc in the toilets to substitute for such an eventuality. It's...
