...cos it's marvellous!

Avoid's all the queue's in the airport, you can drop your suitcases off 24 hours you fly (if you so wish) and best of all, you can nab the emergency exit seats for that extra bit of legroom!

highly recommended.

Now, if BA can sort out some decent food... I have no sympahy with Gate Gourmet - sackings too good, they need shooting!

How far in advanced can you check in online?

what would scooby do

So what's new, been doing this for years

The latest feature is you collect your packed lunch before boarding the plan thanks to gategourmet

what would scooby do

p.s. I often check in via mobile/wap whilst been driven to the airport.. that's kinda cool..

The packed lunch was rather nice yesterday - in business class - much better than the usual Gate Gourmet slop. Sitting on the runway for 2 hours whilst waiting for Schipol to reopen was a bit rubbish.

I use my BA card to check in at the BA electronic terminals, they're pretty cool.

Virgin also do online check-in but if you want the exit seats you have to pay £50 extra.

InvisibleMan

wish you could do that with all airlines would save me having to get there really early to try to get extra leg room only to get there after some short **** that doesnt need it get them

mart360

if you want seats that dont recline thats up to you...

become a ba frequent flier, then you automatically get the seats you want when you book..

no i dont really, to think of it ive never reclined my seat. Im a lanky git with long legs so the extra leg room is more imortant and i rather not have my knees about my ears when the person infront reclines....

Shhhhh! don't tell everyone about it.

There's no way I'll fly with BA, after the last round of strike troubles. Sitting in a plane for 5 hours at the departure gate, then having to go back to the airport isn't fun.


Add in total chaos after that, with no-one knowing what to do next and how to report our missing baggage.

No PA announcements, just low-level staff members each telling you to do a different thing.

Then, they deliver the wrong case (despite the right one having a name and address label etc.) a few days later, after our luggage had gone to Hamburg twice (we never went there at all!).

Then just over one week later (after countless phone calls etc. and empty promises to be rung back) they deliver the case to a random house up the road.

They don't tell us they've done this, its only when the householder looks us up in the phone book and tells us our luggage is with them (thank f they were honest people!).

Absolute buch of w@nkers.

You'd think that after three years of the same industrial disputes in August they'd be a bit better at picking up the pieces by now.

Grrrrr!

Exactly! - not only do we avoid the queues and an early start but we nab the best seats whilst the non educated chav scum/non internet savvy/illiterate fight for their seats...

If you're really smart you take the 2nd row of middle exit seats, so you get the exit space, and a guarantee that the scum in front isn't going to recline and remove what little space there was... Or row 8(or was it 9) A/B on the airbus - first economy row, set up as business - seat, half space, seat

Still can't litigate against being sat next to some fat, smelly git who takes up 2 seats anyway though Where's the 'sit next to a nice young lady' option????

Fly too much? erm...
