London Heathrow - Paris Charles De Gaulle (and return):
BA take at gate, deliver at carousel
AF take at gate, deliver at carousel
BMI take and deliver at gate
Guess who we used once a fortnight for nearly a year?
London Heathrow - Cairo
BA take at gate, deliver at carousel
Egyptair take and deliver at gate
Of thread:
Egyptair are also cheaper, have wider seats (A330 / 777 versus 747 in economy), subjectively better seat pitch (in economy), do not charge for excess baggage, refund almost the entire ticket price if you cancel, charge half BA to rebook and are not likely to use T5, strike or send your bag to Milan in the foreseeable future. BA have better food (buy sandwiches), entertainment (take gameboy, laptop or a book as appropriate) and booze (so what?).
Guess who we use?
