Great Crash Joke (not!) - British Airways Sucks

Have you been abused by British Airways?

Modern air travel is stressful enough without the abuse that some airlines inflict on passengers. If you are a legitimate victim of airline abuse and reasonable attempts at redress have been ignored or refused by the airline, I encourage you to submit a complaint via the CEDR to send a clear message to the airline that this behaviour will not be tolerated. The process is free if you are successful or £25 if you are unsuccessful. Please let me know about your success stories!

Legal Advice

If you need legal help, I haven't used Bott & Co Solicitors personally but they have some good advice on their website about claiming compensation from airlines and have a no-win no-fee no-risk guarantee.

During a recent BA flight from Miami to Heathrow, passengers were treated to a recorded announcement explaining the plane was about to crash. Just for fun, it was played a second time! Passengers didn't see the joke and were apparently screaming in fear of their lives.

A short time later, an announcement instructed passengers to ignore the warning as it had been mistakenly aired.

Just in case passengers didn't appreciate the joke, they were issued with written apologies as they left the plane.

Apparenly there was a similar inclident on another BA flight from Heathrow to Hong Kong last year.

To maximise the effect of the prank, maybe BA should screen an airline disaster movie before these announcements!
