I need to book another trip to the USA (Boston), in addition to the several long haul business class I have recently booked by other carriers due to the strike. These include trips to Boston/Sydney/Atlanta and two further Boston ones.

So based on my historic BA preference the travel agent checked prices, same flight class (Business) same dates 18th April out 30th April back

The Price for British Airways £4446.77, Virgin £2967.77, so in the midst of trying to keep passengers, and encourage premium pax back even in the uncertainty of further strike action BA are expecting a £1500 premium.....

Looks like I will be sticking with Virgin on this one, I fear that the damage to BA has been done forever. It is a shame I cant earn points on American Airlines, but then Virgin service is much better in my opinion.
