British Airways has been doing an incredible job with their marketing lately, and in particular with their “BA Magic” campaign.

This is airline is becoming as bad as US carriers, Vueling and Ryanair. Cutting services anywhere. Oh wait, its CEO used to run Vueling!?

Well all they needed to do was put them in that god forsaken disgusting, filthy business class where your nose is pressed against that of the seat person facing you. You have no choice but to become intimate with the stranger.

Why isn't the answer never "no"?

Then the camera can awkwardly linger on them for the rest of the flight while everyone else shuffles away.

@danallen ikr? plus, their cabin is so dry and drab, with zero colour whatsoever, and the quality of club world is akin to economy on emirates. what a waste of a carrier. its joined easyjet and ryan air on a race (or rather skydive) to the bottom. just to think 20 years ago you were treated like a customer...

I get it, it is magical because so little of the experience was actually with BA.

To all the miserable a.holes. The couple was happy. BA did a great job. If you don’t like them, don’t fly them

@Phil: Any decent guy/girl will ask before (or is 200% sure that it's going to be yes). Otherwise you put +1 into an impossible situation.

BA would do better if they improve the overall experience rather than advertising select cases where they excelled ...

I am somehwat taken aback by all the negativity here about this post. Of course there are criticisms of BA (as there are any airline). They may even be correct. But that is not why Lucky posted this. Honestly - we have enough negativity in the world.

Anyone who is in the forces or has family in the forces can tell you how hard it can be at times. When both partners are serving, it just compounds the issue. The fact that BA helped to make this happen, regardless of what you may think of the airline personally, is fantastic.

To Lt Colthart and Lydia (future Mrs. Coltheart) - please accept my heartfelt congratulations. Thank you for doing what you do for us all.
