British Airways Flight 318 with service to CDG from LHR: Airbus a319
departure 16:15
The Ba flights to CDG depart from LHR terminal four. Check in went very smoothly, as tehre was no one in line and we jus walked right up. Boarding was quite a mess, because everyone just rushed up to board so it was just a big mess. The flight was quite full with all seats full except for two. They served a small meal and beverage for this flight and it landed on time. I was quite surprised that they actually served a meal on this flight but it was good. they seats were comfortable with all seats being leather on the a319. They also played the flight map on the display screens. The baggage came out on time and everything was great.
British Airways flight 309 with service to LHr from CDG: boeing 757
Departure 12:25
Checking in at CDG was quite confusing, as it was difficult to find the BA ticket counters. But after that check in was fine and everything went smoothly. We baorded the plane in a more organized fashion and this was a quite empty flight, but the seats on the 757 were not as comfortable as the ones on the a319. They served a meal and beverage, and everything went fine. we landed, and after we landed, we were taken by bus to customs. when we passed customs, it took about an hour for our bags to come witch seemed like forever but other then that, everything was pretty good.

I flew BA via London to Amsterdam in December, and I was impressed that we received a meal for that short flight (albeit, to be fair, it was a sandwich snack pack).
I thought the A319 was comfortable also...I'd never flown on an Airbus product before.
