Ryan Air vs British Airways.

Second plane in the space of a week. Last week I was flying back from my holiday; a fabulous week in Gran Canaria with the girls (gays), today I am flying to Turkey on a four day work trip.

The airline of choice for the hols was Ryan Air...Oh good God! If you've never flown with them, keep it that way. First of all, in my experience, it's never good when a plane looks like a rescue raft...bright yellow with safety instructions everywhere. The garish colour has a second purpose as well, oh yes, to keep you awake. Heaven forbid you relax and nod off, how would they sell you things when you're asleep? Probably why the seats don't recline either. You WILL stay awake and you WILL purchase scratch cards.

To be fair you wouldn't want to fall asleep anyway, I'm not being a bitch, you know me, it's not in my nature, but have you seen the clientele on your average Ryan Air flight? They'd pinch your passport, copy it and sell it on to the person sat next to you before you've even landed.

In summary Ryan Air makes Easy Jet look classy.

I'm currently sat on a British Airways flight to Turkey and following last week I will never moan about this airline ever again. Well I will, but less so. Unlike the guy sat in front of me who is kicking off about his vegan meal not tasting very vegan!? He's worked his way up the ranks and is now talking to the head stewardess, demanding an alternative meal? Hmmm firstly you're on a plane not in a restaurant and secondly, what she going to do? Emergency land and pop into Whole Foods in...where are we flying over at the moment?...the mountains near Bucharest? Prat.

I've come to the conclusion that aside from the normally quite rude cabin crew, the fact they always seem to lose my designer's luggage (seriously, almost every flight!!) and the vegan passengers, British Airways aren't all that bad, I've also just read that they're the main airline sponsor for the 2012 Olympics, now you don't get that title by being crap do you? Saying that I swear the pilot just walked past me in the cabin? That's not a good sign is it?
