It's very childish I know, but I've always chuckled to myself when my imagination runs wild..... I've always thought BA should put 'subwoofers' in the hatbins and play Prodigy's "Smack My Bitch Up" for boarding music

Or maybe not.........

hi

usually ba dont play boarding/landing music at all on their flights because it is up to the descretion of the purser/ cabin service director, although if they do, it is very quiet, relaxing classical music or nature sounds, like trickling water!!!! cabin crew are definately not alowed to play their own music. i guess its because BA are going for the professional image and are trying to prevent sixties pop being played which you tend to get on charter airlines!!!!

be thankful that you dont get he same songs OVER AND OVER AND OVER again. personally im SICK of casey chambers and missey higgins. arghhhhhhh!!!!
I think some classical music can get lost in the constant noise of the air-con. Bring on the cafe del mar or MOS chillout sessions. Ive heard some nice music on JQ actually. I think Ditz said it was night mix4 or something.
Ive done one or two flights between SIN and PER where almost all of Y were under 30 and good looking (just like their cabin crew ). The 78 connects with a lot of flights coming from europe and these pax were just starting their holiday or just at the end of it. (You better look after all these Euro/Perth Spunks Ditzy) Everyone was in party mode. I wanted to hookup my ipod to the PA haha

I once boarded my passengers to Guns'n'Roses Sweet Child of Mine! And that was indeed on a BA flight! The business men appreciated the change!

Has got to be better than the boarding music on EK where they have been known to blast out "The hills are alive with the Sound of music "

Having said that I do remember my current airline I work for once played "Who Let The Dogs Out"....... We don't play boarding music anymore. Wonder why.
