An airplane isn't a restaurant. An airplane isn't a movie theater. An
airplane is a way to get from point A to point B in a reasonable amount
of time and at reasonable cost. Most people see it as such.

In fact everyone shares my opinion, if you ignore the people who
don't.

I fly BA over ryanair anytime, as long as I can book early enough to
keep prices reasonable. Even if the difference is sometimes close to a
100 pounds, I fly so often that I just can't stand the rush for seats
on ryanair, the cramped seating, the pay through your nose for a
sandwich syndrome....


I flew BA for the first time this year from Gatwick to Porto. I paid £69
for the flight, and it was my first non low-cost flight. To be perfectly
honest, given a low-cost alternative flying the same route, I'd use the
low-cost every time given a cheaper price of _any_ amount. On a 1-2 hour
flight, I don't feel I get good value from paying £40 extra for a small
snack box and a complimentary newspaper. Of course, my first long-haul
flight will probably change my views!
