British Airways flies planes empty because it lacks flight attendants

Translation: 'Like most airlines would do' ========= 'As most American airlines would do'. NO, they would not. Most US airlines do not normally give away international upgrades without some kind of payment, unless Y is oversold. Don't any of you people fly? Commercial? Only if I have to. GA? Any time I possibly can. -------------------------------------- DW |

How long, do you suppose, those £1600 seats will retain their value? The pricey seats pay for the flight. Everyone else just about covers their share of the fuel costs. Not true for transatlantic flights. Often the cargo alone covers the entire cost of the flight, and the passengers are pure profit, even in economy class. That's how BA can afford to fly empty aircraft (empty of passengers, that is). |
