V-Flyer

Hi Everyone,
Just picking your brains a bit.......

My mum is flying to vienna on friday with BA, its her first time flying!!
She wants to know what to expect on board in regards to entertainment and food/drink?. As I have never flown with BA I would know, have any of you guys experianced a BA europian flight?
Will she get comp drinks, head phones, seat back entertainment ect??

Cheers Guys!

You may be better off asking this question in the BA forum on Flyertalk.

Don't tell them you fly VS though or they won't answer ;)

Cheers!

You gotta love these airline politics!!!

The BA forum has always been a huge source of amusement to me. There are a number of regular posters there who hate SRB and VS with a real passion.

I haven't visited for a while, but when I went over to get the link I noticed the top thread was


'VS ad gets slated by Guardian - funniest thing I've read today'


So, it seems not much has changed:D:D

Hi emmylou

BA's european flights are, and it pains me to say this , are actually quite good compared to much of the competition.

In terms of food and drink, they have a compimentary bar service, and normally the 'All Day Deli'. This is normally a roll or croissant, juice and some fruit or cake. Also get Tea/Coffee.
I think entertainment depends upon aircraft, although I've never had any on the European flights I've been on.

Hope this is useful

I last flew BA to Brussells a few years ago. No IFE to speak of, but for such short flights its not really an issue. We were given sandwiches and a drink which admittedly i thought were great as the flight is literally less than an hour and i certainly wasnt expecting a service, but thats what you get for paying the extra over a charter.

If there is IFE it will likely be one with the drop down TVs and headphones should be provided, although, i always take my own noise cancelling ones anyway. You may get seat-back TVs but i wouldnt count on it.

Otherwise, as much as i dislike BA, you will likely encounter a smooth flight and good service.

Is your mother travelling in Club Europe or Euro Traveller?

For Club Europe it is usually a gourmet salad meal.
With wine etc....

Of course the Guardian piece was actually funny - wouldn't call it a slating by any stretch of the imagination... actually gave props to VS in a number of ways.
