- asked by luke C
I've flown World Traveller (economy) a few timesand the seats are just normal economy class seats,nothing special but with decent in-flightentertainment. I checked on seatguru.com and WorldTraveller seats have slightly less (1") seatpitch(legroom), than most other airlines.

We will be travelling together in 2009 when thenew business class seats are installed and wouldlike advice on the best seats for a coupletravelling together. I am only interested inBritish Airways flights from Sydney to London.
- asked by Deanne C
The 747-436, which will operate on your sector,has Club on the upper deck. The area only seats20 passengers, and is notably quiet and private. These seats tend to be the designated rows of60-64. There are also two lavatories on the upperdeck.As you will travel as a couple, you ought toenjoy the 2-2 seating, compared to the 2-4-2 onthe lower deck. Additional storage is also foundin seats A,K (rows 60-64).Enjoy your flight, andhopefully T5 will have settled by then! - answered by: Dan M

Question: #5: I want to be a pilot and fly for British Airways how do I get there?
I live in Vancouver BC, Canada what would i haveto do to fly for British Airways?
- asked by Dhesi
The cost to obtain a private pilot license couldrun you over $10,000. To fly for British Airways,you would also have to obtain a commercial licenseas well as additional specialized ratings andother required certifications. That could run upyour costs to $30,000 or more.I would highlyrecommend that you join the Canada's Air Force andvolunteer for pilot training. Not only would younot be charged anything to attend military flighttraining, but you would be paid a militaryofficer's salary during your training aswell.Commercial airlines love to hire formermilitary pilots because of their flight trainingand experience. So it would be less expensive forthe airlines to give you the additional trainingto convert you from military aircraft tocommercial aircraft.Click on the source links Iposted below for more information. - answered by: Poor Horatio

The BA pilots and crew are one of the best trainedin the world. It is interesting that the planecompletely lost power before landing and crashedwithout any warning. It could still be due topilot's fatigue (tiredness). - answered by: curious

It depends on what type of ticket you bought inGoa. Some tickets are really cheap with tons ofrestrictions - so the best way to do is just callBA in Vancouver and find out what type of ticketand how much do you have to pay (if applicable).BAin US/Canada : 1-800-AIRWAYS or (800) 247-9297 - answered by: Travel_assistant

Question: #10: How much can I claim or how to sue an airline British Airways for lost luggage?
I arrived in British Airways to US for a two monthstay. British airways lost both my checked inluggages. One luggage was returned in two days,but even after 14 days, there is no news about thesecond luggage. Yesterday they delivered aluggage, which was not mine and I refused toaccept it. However now they claim they havedelivered my luggage and the case is closed. Isthere a legal way I can get British Airways tocompensate me? The items in the bag are of muchsentimental value as they include items I madewith my own hands and in my free time for mygrandsons in the US. Please share yourexperiences. Thank you
- asked by pho
Unfortunately a law suit would go nowhere andhonestly no lawyer would persue it. You would paymore for the case than what you actually lost. There really is no legal recourse. Airlines have7 days to return your luggage before you areentitled to any compensation. And generally whatyou are entitled to by most airlines is $25/dayfor 7 days for personal hygiene products. Sinceyou claim the second piece delivered was not yourpiece, you should have already filled out adetailed claim listing the contents and theirvalue. Sentimental value is not the same asretail value unfortunately. Be as honest andprecise as possible and they will be able todetermine your amount of compensation. Theairport at the local level will not be able totake care of this, you have to be in constantcommunication with their Baggage Service Center. If they say your baggage was delivered and youclaim you never signed for it, then you need tohave them call the local baggage claim office fromwhich it was delivered and get a copy of thesignature. All files are to be kept on hand for aminimum of 30 days. As a former airline employeeof another airline I did have to work in thetrenches in baggage claim many times. Everyonehates that job. But, sometimes agents will closefiles out of force of habit once they are taken bythe delivery company. The delivery company shouldalso have a copy of the signature for who signedfor the piece. Unfortunately checking luggage isat your own risk. The only thing airlines have toguarentee is getting you to your destination. Ifthere are things of value in your luggage,airlines do not guarentee they will not bedamaged, stolen or lost in transit. Read theairlines contract of carriage to see what it saysabout baggage as each one may be different. Youshould be entitled to some sort of compensation tobe determined by the airline if your have notrecieved your baggage as of yet. Keep copies ofyour file that you received when you made theclaim on arrival. Document every call that isplaced, names of people you spoke to and what wassaid. They document your record on the other endwith every call and details of the conversation. One way to keep your luggage from getting lost intransit is to always put current ID tags on theoutside as well as on the inside. You should havea copy of your itinerary as well as contact names,phone numbers and addresses of where you will be. That way if any of the outer tags are seperated,when the agents go inside the bag to find anythingto identify who it belongs to, then they will havesome leads. If you failed to do any of this,there really isnt much an airline can do toidentify your bag. There are millions of blackroller bags out there that end up in a warehousebecause people didnt put proper identification onthem or in them. If you failed to do this, itspretty much a lost cause. Lesson should be, nevercheck items that have value. If they are toolarge to carry on, ship them. But as I said,checked luggage is not guarenteed. Loss as wellas damage happen and there is no full proof systemestablished. Im sorry you experienced this, it isfrustrating. Trust me, Ive been on the other endand getting yelled at for things I could notcontrol sucks. Just remember that while "theairline" failed you, the people you are dealingwith are doing what they can to find your baggage. Sometimes it may take months to turn up, butevery once in a while you can get lucky.Good luckand I hope they make it right for you. - answered by: southrntrnzplnt
