Ive never found it too bad. Wasnt expecting club class for the price and it got me there on time 
That's because they schedule 3hours to do a 1hr 30minute flight! Then, when they leave late (every time) they can still say they got you there early. It's good because it means you're under no illusions as to what time you'll get there, but equally it's a little frustrating as you can see what they're doing.DSM2 said:

Personally, I'd avoid both of those like the plague.
By the time you add on the £5 here and £10 there for bags, reserved seat, taxes etc. etc. you're not much better of than booking a scheduled flight.
Certainly that is often true. Over the past couple of years I have flown with others to Geneva 3 or 4 times on skiing trips. As BA don't charge for either the skis or bags, and Easy charge each way for everything, BA has always worked out cheapest.By the time you add on the £5 here and £10 there for bags, reserved seat, taxes etc. etc. you're not much better of than booking a scheduled flight.

When does an airline actually become low cost?
They don't, they just become very low/non-existent service and no cheaper most of the time than any other traditional airline.BA fly to Malaga from both Heathrow & Gatwick, £60 each way INCLUDING all taxes.

I fly BA Cityflier a lot, and the prices are often better than the 'LoCo' crowd, and it's a full sevice airline. None of this £5 for a sandwich rubbish.
Better option every time for me.

I have never got off a plane and been out of the airport so quickly!
