If this business goes on much longer, airlines are going to start losing Business Class passengers in large numbers.....
How long before ties, belts, shoelaces are banned and the treatment of everyone like convicts reaches its obvious conclusion.
It seems only the UK is doing this; yesterday I was told (incorrectly) that I had to put everything in my hold luggage on a flight FDH-FRA; FRA-BHX. But on the FRA-BHX flight, I was the only mug with a little plastic bag.....
So far I've flown 54 flights this year; I need to take a laptop plus other business items such as a mobile phone with me on my flights. I also drive to the airport 99 km away and my car has an alarm/immobiliser. So currently I need to put my car keys in my luggage as well......
Airlines are going to have to come up with some better solutions than the extreme measures being inflicted on business travellers from the UK if they are to retain our custom - I am now looking at Eurotunnel instead.
