I’m utterly shocked to read into the details of the new @British_Airways social media policy. Their staff are the biggest asset to the company creating so much positive content for all to see. I’ve never seen a bad representation of the company as they know they are reflective.

Well this is a contrast to the Hilton suite. In all honesty for £26 it’s perfect for the night. Clean, warm and cosy with a good bed it more than does the job for some rest

First impressions upon boarding the Qsuite is very lovely on the A359. Yet again the service has been above and beyond so far. Captain just informed us it’s a 6h50 flight and I feel that’s far too short.

Thank you @FlyLoganair for the experience of being on your last Saab 340 flight LM340 from INV-GLA. It was a real event being a part of it and hearing the love for the aircraft from Nicola and the now retired Captain Eddie Watt.

All aboard BA194 on a very old config 777-300 G-STBB in 1F. Crew have been very obliging so far but they can only apologise so much for the sheer state of the cabin. This aircraft has been back and forth on the DXB route of recent which really lets the airline down such a route.
