British Airways vs. Virgin?

Fiona wrote: Often BA and Virgin are cheaper. Then again it is not worth it if AA work out 75 dollars cheaper. They are not that bad, but if you have a choice they are definately bottom of the pile! You mentioned bad service and "horrible food". I rarely think of food as being worth $75 for a flight. I don't know what kind of service you are looking for in Economy. I find little difference between AA and BA there. If I ask for a drink, I get it. What other service are you looking for? I rarely fly economy to Europe anymore, as I usually spend the miles for the upgrade from the US West Coast. Actually I had acknowledged that if an AA flight was $75 dollars cheaper I would take it. I am not here to have an argument, this is simply my opinion. Indeed I have many frequent flier miles with AA and find they provide adequate service. I simply find Virgin and BA to provide a better, more professional service and it starts the trip/vacation off on a better tone. |

Since recommended arrival time for LGW and LHR international departures is now 3 hours prior to flight time, you won't have much spare time to get to any hotel other than ones in the immediate vicinity. Even then it will be a short night... And there are NO 'reasonably-priced hotels' within reach of Heathrow (nearest are probably in Slough). Find somewhere quite to sleep within the airport, or else spend a lot of money on an airport hotel, or a lot of money on taxi rides to get to Slough and back. Otherwise, your only hope is a special offer at an airport hotel through an on-line booking service. |
