BA BNA-LHR load factors

It has been about a month since the BA service from Nashville to London has begun. Does anyone know how full the flight has been overall? Have there been significant issues at any point? It seems like the flight is on time on most days. We are planning to be on this flight in a few weeks in Club Wor...

Iberia's Wheelchair double fiasco at MAD

Hi, My Mom can only walk for short distances, so for airport transfers she requests a wheelchair service. She just flew from the U.S. through Madrid either fully on Iberia or connecting from OneWorld to Iberia twice in less than 4 months. Both times a wheelchair was not present to pick Mom up at the...

Black Friday deals US to Europe - what happened?

Re: BA Club World vs. AA Flagship Business

Your boarding experience on BA was not typical. Service standards are for a round of champagne, orange juice and water at the time of boarding. You should get a menu and amenity kit before pushback too. AA do offer two very good seat choices, the Cirrus on the 77W and the B/E Super Diamond on some ...

I hear the seat is similar to the one on old US Air A330s, but much better... I liked the one on the A330 especially being on the window, but it seemed like it could be better than that... I guess that is what the 77W should be like
