Worse has to be BA and the nasty creaking trolley grannies. They have to be nasty to everyone, they were beautiful in the 70's, now they've legs like sacks of sprouts.
I don't want to pay to look at these ugly nasty people. BA 'service with a grunt'

Absolutely,

I recently flew BA HKG-LHR-HKG and the staff (who were all my age and I'm mid-50's) treated the passengers as though they were a massive inconvenience.

Passengers? You mean self-loading freight. BA ' We fucking despise passengers but love our perks'

Expect the IFE not to work and your seat may be broke. The food will almost be good enough for pigs.

If you ever need to visit the Middle East, use BMI (and preferably in Business Class if you can!). Two reasons: I flew home to UK on Cat A Compassionate recently - had an ever so helpful, gorgeous young stewardess, practically look after me from stepping on board - gave me a sack full of Scotch and a soothing 'there, there, there' - all this, in economy. On their routine flights, its open bar, despite flying into/out of 'dry states'. On a a recent flight back in Business, I was amazed to fidn they had a chef! Never in my wildest dreams had I thought some guy would come to your seat and say, "Im xxxxx and on this flight i'll be your chef" - Chuffin marvellous to get your breakfast cooked to order as you skip over Europe on the descent to LHR! No bacon sandwiches though, but thats the beauty of business lounges - last chance saloons to fill your face and bag with allsorts of naughtiness! I concur with the theme on BA - grumpy, frumpy and made to feel like an inconvenience. Shame.

Use the above before you book. I had a chef once on I think Swiss air flight, huge difference - of course he'd not got a cooker on board but individually dishing up and dressing each plate makes a difference.
