Will London Airways ever become proudly British again?
28/05/12 | Forum post in reply to skyguy79

When I lived in Chester I'd avoid flying from LHR like the plague. I'd go from Manchester to AMS and then onwards. Not only was it cheaper, but I could through check my bags, receive a boarding pass for both sectors (Have BA changed this now?)...
