I only fly Qantas/BA (they swap with each other internationally). Its always good... but we fly Business Class. Most of my family are platinum card holders so we get special treatment :p like first class flight from england to aus the night that my step mums dad died.

JAL? Is that Jordan? or am I wrong..

LOL, I've only ever flown Qantas domestic and loved em.

I'm flying British next year, to singapore and then Gulf to Bahrain and finally Heathrow. Only because the ticket is like $850.. whats so bad about Gulf, Toimmy? Only good thing I know is Bahrain has awsome dutyfree shopping ;)

But, I work at the airport - and have heard Singapore and Emirates are the best, but alot of people fly with Qantas too, (obviosly..)

Hmm..

Thats right. They're not gonna shoot their own planes down ;) (Although..America might :p)

Anyway, I figure BA wouldnt by flying with a shit airline. The Arab ones are usually good - Emirates is one of, if not the, best in the world. (Up with Singapore) Been told Malaysia is pretty good too. But the American ones - United and AA - are suppose to be crap. And I wouldn't test my luck with Scare China ;) (There has to be a reason they're so cheap :p)

sorry for the late reply:

The plane stunk, and i mean really stunk. The service was shit, the toilets didnt work and the flight was very bumpy. If your stopping in Bahrain i suggest you where summer clothes on the plane because when you get there its 300% humidty and everything sticks to you. Dont use the toilet at the terminal, use the one on the plane before your descent because they never work. Dont even think about eating at the food court, my brother was throwing up for a week. DONT, I REPEAT DONT TOUCH THE MONKEY. And be nice to the beggars, they carry knives.

If you want anymore warnings, pm me :)

Egyptian air was the worst for me...
