Not to their national carriers it isn't! (and I see the bills for one of them that are continually written off).
Exactly. That's the problem, EK are subsidised to the hilt which creates a very bumpy playing field.
I'm out of here for a couple of weeks for some sunshine. LGW-GND tomorrow in J, with BA obviously. Is it too much to hope that progress will have been made sorting out Bassa by the time I return?
