Look at what BA are up to....

....Has anyone booked a BA flight lately? I did today and am absolutely disgusted at what I saw.......

After booking a longhaul flight I went to choose our seats. They are charging £20 per person per sector to CHOOSE WHERE TO SIT!! So thats £80 for two people on a return flight to....CHOOSE WHERE TO SIT!!

I kid you not!

How long has this been going on for?! Its simply daylight robbery. I'd expect this on a loco and almost understand it. But the UK flag carrier-BA, charging to choose seats, thats just plain awful.

Why is this any different to the dirty/cheap tactics that Easy or Ryanair use? Why is it that Easy and especially Ryanair are slagged off so much about ruining the airline industry, when this is just as bad if not worse...as the last time I looked-BA was not a locost carrier.

So next time anyone wants to start bitching about the usual suspects ruining our profession and industry, please include BA in your rants.
