No food on either flight, not even to purchase, so my wife basically went without food for 5 hours, except for a couple of grapes left over from a stewardess's meal. Imagine being a diabetic in that situation. I'm inclined to agree that standards are dropping to appalling levels, at least where BA is concerned, and the low cost airlines do seem to be a driving factor.

No doubt Low Cost airlines have ruined the industry!

They changed there conditions overnight, and we were left stranded at the airport.

In my opinion, it is nice to be pampered, but my main aim is to get to my destination. And I would rather have the choice to buy, or not to buy food on the flight, rather than having to pay extra on the price of the flight for something I may not actually want.

I've never used Ryan Air, but have used Easyjet many times, and never had a single problem. Both of my brothers have however used Easyjet, Ryan Air, Jet 2, and BMI Baby, and both say that Easyjet are the best by far.

I would rather travel in a decent airline rather than a budget airline
