Rant 1: British Airways
I just don't understand how BA have any kind of reputation at all, let alone a half-decent one. Do they not realise that there are other airlines operating? Or have they just become complacent as they have the monopoly on a whole heap of routes?
I've ranted about BA's backstage performance before on Traveller Cliche. I'd never really criticised their in-flight performance, merely noted that they weren't anywhere near as good as Virgin. Or Qantas. Or Air New Zealand. But the quality of the last BA flight I took was laughable: forty minute delay; mediocre meal; no in-flight entertainment. What are you doing? Trying to compete with Ryanair for lack of facilities? At least they have a good in-flight magazine.
Next time I go somewhere BA fly to I'll probably walk instead.
Rant 2: Shoes
Since I've been away shoes seem to have got ridiculously pointy. Does anyone have feet that fit them? Does anyone have a foot-sized pencil sharpener so that I can whittle my feet into a suitable shape? I reckon that if I take enough off the side I could get into a Size 4.
Rant 3: Boarding passes
Why? What purpose do they serve? In a digital, eco-friendly age surely there is a more efficient way of getting people onto a plane than giving everyone a waxy bit of oversized card, I mean at least make it the same size as your pocket.
Air Asia just give you a receipt. Why doesn't the rest of the world? Because they're pointy-shoed idiots. I blame BA.
