I guess you don't have the experience of many business travellers on the routes described (LHR-GLA etc), get up at 0430, rush out of the house, drive 1.5 hours to Heathrow, waste time in long security queue because BAA understaff it, into first departure to GLA, ONE HOUR SAT IN PLANE, taxi straight to meeting where others are sat waiting, make presentation all day spending lunchtime amending afternoon items, push back reservation for return flight, meeting up to the last minute, get the order (wow!), taxi to airport, waste time in long security queue, into LHR flight, ONE HOUR SAT IN PLANE, into car, drive 1.5 hours home, get there 2245.
And this is what many of BA's core customers are doing, you see plenty of us on these flights each day. That's why we value in-flight catering. Remember as well that this is why BA charge their highest fares at these times. Envy of those travelling substantially on company business is normally the province of just the junior staff in the office who have never had to do it.
