BA Connect

Flew two flights with the new BA Connect service. Not a great deal different than before, except the catering.

However, what HAS seemed to have become worse is the seemingly never-ending announcements soon after take off. We were first reminded of the Executive Club, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah, then even more blurb about how they would be coming through the cabin with a variety of hot and cold snacks, including hot breakfast baps and pizza slices, sandwiches, yaddah, yaddah, yaddah, and CHOCOLATE FINGERS. Here we are, barely off the ground, and they're advertising chocolate bl**dy fingers!

I find flying stressful enough, but this constant haranguing is too much sometimes. When I asked one of the cabin crew to cut the announcements down to what was strictly necessary, she said, "Yes, but were you happy with the fare?" I said the fare wasn't my main consideration I chose BA Connect, that my main consideration was the fact they weren't Ryanair. I'm beginning to wonder if the rot's set in...
