BA - British Airways

[Lou Lou 1]

I wish I had a choice for direct flights (I hate stopovers..ewww) to Charlotte but alas I have a choice of ONE airline

I had a choice of ONE to get to RDU (Raleigh) as well which was AA and they were GREAT *and* the flight was rarely full so I could get 4 or 5 seats to spread acorrs and sleep.

But US Airways to Charlotte the flight is usually PACKED

I've never flown with BA - and I've put in more flight hours than most travelling round the world, lol - cos they were usuaully WAY more pricey than everyone else - Virgin were excellent tho - and for a top flight recommendation from a few years back Thai Inter were amazing.

Are they packed through Charlotte? I've recently changed my route to go via there rather than Philly cos I hate the waiting at Philly. You really should sign up for the flyer miles cos while you're sitting up back squashed, it's usually empty up front quaffing champagne!

The POE immigration line was actually WAY better than the one at RDU - much faster and a LOT bigger (and cooler! Tho still not nice n cold - not sure why they don't activate that AC unit..maybe they want to see who sweats the most? ).

Thats one reason I chose Charlotte as opposed to RDU this time - it's nearer to my new home but also the immigration /security section at RDU is tiny, and cramped, and like an oven.

I kept thinking about flyer miles but as this is prolly my last trip for a while, it seems a bit pointless now (as they won't include all my previous trips, boo)

I like Virgin much better than BA. The people on BA I've always found to be very friendly, but I feel even more like a squashed sardine than usual on their economy class. No room for your legs at all! (I'm 5'6)
