Taken February 2002 from Bahrain to London Heathrow

Got a cheap ticket (Because BA had just restarted flights from Bahrain following 9/11). Not impressed though by the flight.

Good points:

Captain kept us informed.

Nice quiet aircraft (a340).

Bad Points:

Seating.. Everyone sat where they wanted, took 3 attempts to get a stewardess to show some interest in getting it sorted. A 5 year old was sat by an emergency exit until I mentioned it.

Seats had enough leg room, but were (my opinion) very uncomfortable.

In-flight entertainment on an 8 hour 40 minute flight was provided, but the screens were very dark and difficult to operate as most of the touch sensors appeared to be broken.

Food was in a word... diabolical.
