BA staff travel is absolutely woeful. Amateurish in the extreme compared to easyJet’s offering and we pay double the price for it too. Not to mention you’re in for a highly stressful experience if you try to travel anywhere from Gatwick where you aren’t allowed airside on a standby or bookable even if there’s a load of empty seats if you haven’t yet been confirmed. The ground crew there have the attitude that they “don’t do jumpseats”. Cue a mad dash through security at close out as you race to avoid being offloaded. Honestly it’s an insult that this is going on down there and not just on euroflyer flights, it’s mainline too.
