Unfortunately on GLA to LHR you cannot switch to another brand. BA monopoly, with near term prices through the roof. Next Wednesday at random, early flight down £174, mid evening back £202. Total day trip £376, and you're telling me you don't even get a 'free' cup of tea or coffee. That monopoly in the opposite direction shows all flights sold out in the morning. How times have changed from the BMA days of both airlines doing proper breakfasts and proper evening dinners with wine. Bad service at high prices and clearly hitting the business person if the monopoly airlines flights are sold out ! And this service includes the gate never available on arrival at T5 or the airbridge not able to connect or that day's other excuse.
