GOOD NEWS: The Next British Airways Pilots’ Strike Is Off

Up until now there hadn't been any signs that the third day of British Airways pilot walkouts (set for 27 September) wasn't going to go ahead and the airline had already started canceling flights ahead of time to try to limit its liabilities. It's fair to say that the relationship between the pilots and management couldn't really have become much worse...but now something has changed.

On Monday, the union representing approximately 90% of all British Airways pilots announced that its members had overwhelmingly voted for strike action following the breakdown of contract talks with the airline’s management.

Toronto No Longer The First Destination To Get British Airways’ Club Suites

The new British Airways Business Class seats (officially called “Club Suites”) are one of the most highly anticipated upgrades to the airline’s offering in years. This is partly because the new suite promises to be very nice indeed, but it’s mainly because the seats that it will be replacing are so out of date they’re in danger of being considered retro.

British Airways Quietly Changes How It Charges For Business Class Seat Selection

One of the more heinous ways in which British Airways gouges passengers for yet more money is by charging for seat selection in the Business Class cabin.

Two More Routes To Get The New British Airways Club Suite

On 18 March this year British Airways unveiled the new Business Class seat it is fitting to its soon-to-be-delivered Airbus A350-1000 aircraft.

British Airways Pilots & Crews Move A Lot Closer To Industrial Action

Negotiations between the unions and the airline commenced in December but, at the end of February, the unions announced that discussions really weren't going anywhere.

How British Airways Handled A Recent Service Failure

The 747 may have been the aircraft that spawned the age of travel that we're living in, it may look great and the top deck may still be one of the most fun places to sit but its an aircraft that's simply too costly to operate.

An Often-Overlooked Downside To How British Airways Manages Club Europe

In the US we’re pretty lucky when it comes to domestic premium cabins. The First Class cabins of all three legacy carriers are almost always a significant step up from Economy Class (admittedly this is not a difficult achievement) and it’s relatively easy to make the case for paying a premium to sit up front. In Europe things are different. The premium cabins found on most European short-haul aircraft are mediocre at best and the Club Europe cabins offered by British Airways epitomise the mediocrity on offer.

British Airways Announces Details Of A Club Europe Catering Upgrade

I’ve long said that I don’t see the value in European short-haul Business Class fares because the offering usually isn’t compelling enough to warrant the considerable premium charged over Economy Class. British Airways Club Europe (what the airline calls it’s short-haul Business Class product) offers a very good example of why I generally don’t see the point of booking a short-haul Business Class fare – it’s an all-round mediocre experience.
