British Airways in a nutshell
British Airways, usually familiarly abbreviated to "BA" (beej), is one of the traditional and largest airlines in Europe. They mainly use London's Heathrow and Gatwick airports and are also very popular with travellers from the Czech Republic due to their extensive network worldwide and quality service.
British Airways also operates its own branch in South Africa, which flies domestic and regional routes.

for me BA at longhills are actually very contradictory..food is average, IFE is below average..on the contrary it is great that they still have the possibility to take snacks or sandwiches in the kitchen.
Are you already saving up? The seats look nice.
British Airways is changing the conditions for Executive Club status from 1.4.2025.
Basically according to the turnover, a lot harder to achieve for non GB citizens:

Which other airline will offer a better frequent flyer club today? Probably AF/KL.
If I am not talking about the Executive Club, but only about using BA Avios or IB Avios for an award ticket, then perhaps nothing fundamental has changed.
I repeat that I have very good experience with award tickets from Turkish Airlines (Star Alliance) and Iberia (Oneworld). On the other hand, a few miles from TAP and Lufthansa were not usable in any way and expired ...
I never got anything from AF/KLM (SkyTeam). In SkyTeam only for CSA miles at most for PRG lounges, so nothing extraordinary, rather weak.
