Well I've given up on this one & booked my aged relation over AMS, not on BA.

BA bang on about using their web site booking facility, with in effect, penalties (in price) for using an Travel Agent or even the telephone. Being in DXB, a web booking should be really good news, but oh no it boils down to visiting a Travel Agent or the BA office here. I've tried explaining to my Jordanian Travel Agent the benefits of going via BRS, he's never been to Europe, his expression was nothing if a little glazed and the price - forget it.

The loser is BRS, great little airport, easy (pun) transfers in theory but in effect the punter has to pay an uplift to transit via it; if indeed he/she even knows about the connections available. Without the BA desktop you wouldn't.

Grrrr
