BA: A Right Royal messup.

22/07/2011 by Kevincm

It seems the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (or Prince Will and Kate Middlton to the rest of us) had a problem on the way home from the USA.

The couple flew BA on a 747 from LA to London. Alas, the bird decided to have an IFE failure inflight.

And as a result, service compensation went into play. Which, if you’re stuck in BA First (and there are worse places to be in the world when you have a broken IFE system)

Now those of us who are frequent flyers would had opted for the miles. This being Will and Kate, BA’s normal practice is to offer £200 each of Vouchers (MCO’s – Miscellaneous Charge Orders).

The worst part: They want to watch Bridesmaids on the IFE system
Even worst part: They went off to a cinema afterwards to watch it…

Oh well, at least the version they watched in the cinema wouldn’t had been cut to shreds… like some films in a plane.
