British Airways Is Introducing Seats That Don’t Recline
It has been amazing to see British Airways’ transformation over the past few years, as they’ve gone from being a relatively full service airline to an almost ultra low cost carrier. While they still offer different types of experiences depending on the cabin you’re traveling in, they’ve added more seats to planes, have eliminated free food & drinks in shorthaul economy, etc. (www.aviationnewsworld.info) 기타...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Gladly to bring you greater discomfort. This must be the secret mantra in Operations. Once they have your money they couldn't give a rats rear about passenger comfort.
Actually, given they are doing this on short-haul flights, this is good news. Reclining seats in cattle class are a nuisance, given the legroom (read - lack thereof). And seriously: flying for an hour or two in Europe isn't much different than taking the Tube (London Underground to the uninitiated) to some end of the line. It's transport, no more, no less.
Sorry - that should have read " We are NOT talking about long haul here.
I can't see any reason to worry about this. Budget airlines have led the race to the bottom in terms of anything except price and it is natural that BA has to trim its costs and increase its seating per plane. Who needs to recline a seat on short haul. We are talking about long-haul here. I find people are convinced that planes are sleeping cars instead of a mode of transport to take you hundreds of miles very quickly and cheaply. Modern trains are following the same pattern with seats that are thinner, more upright and more per carriage. Its a fact of business life and nothing to do with BA individually worsening their service. BA staff are still the best for common courtesies and helpfulness.
charge for what in economey ?
6 to 8 Atlantic return flights each year I’m looking for a better deal. Seats horrible in economy And now they charge for them. Ugh
