What you do get from airlines like BA are decent airports to fly from and a good frequency in their schedule….that is where the value of the traditional airlines like BA are. If you only fly once in a while and can be flexible on your travel times then you wont value that, but if you are in any way a frequent flyer they you’ll easily value convenience over ticket price

Not sure if serious. I think that out of the last 200 or so flights I have taken, 2 of them have been BA.
"Decent airports to fly from." ROFL

BA and Emirates extra charge for choosing a seat prior to online check in is the reason I now use American or Delta for US flights and Qatar for flights east.
I booked a 4 sector trip with AA and was able to choose seats, at no extra cost, all the way through at time of booking except for the last sector which was a code share operated by BA. BA wanted £39 per seat for that flight.
Always check the seat configuration of your flight on seatguru.com before deciding where to sit especially if you are paying for the "privilege".

I’ve had more delays into/out of Schiphol than I dare to remember. Very prone to fog.
