Mark Warner BA Charter Flights
Hello
Quickie for the collective PPRuNe 'hive mind'.
With holiday company Mark Warner they now charter BA aircraft on occasion. As it's a charter can one expect usual levels of BA service or is it a stripped down 'EasyBA' version?

Charter service depends entirely on what the charterer has asked for, and paid for. If you go on a PR event like a charter on one of the cheapo pay-for-everything IT airlines to say a new car launch in Europe, it's free champagne all the way.
Obvously one of the options BA can offer any charterer is their "standard" service, as that's what they and their catering contractor are familiar with. As this is a tour operator who considers they are "high end" then they are unlkely to cut down the standard offering (which is actually no big deal nowadays anyway).
One thing you don't get is miles for the BA Exec Club. That's for scheduled flights.

I am going on a Thomas Cook holiday with the flights provided by a European national carrier. I know that TC's ludicrous baggage regulations are being applied! Hand luggage is a large sponge bag weight 5Kgs and hold baggage limited to 15kg unless one pays extra!

Thanks peoples
Should you be travelling a similar route in the near future I can tell you that the service we received was typical, good, BA service. The outbound leg in economy was standard economy but the crew took the time to look after the children. Club Europe on the return leg was also as I expected. Can't fault them really.
Thanks to the crew should they read this. Much appreciated.
