I thought they might cut it this year, they've cut food on short haul too.

Fly Swiss, is the answer!

BA isn't even the answer from NE England, it's charter flights or EJ to Geneva or drive.

Not unknown on BA and anyway, there's always M&S sarnies around the corner - better than any airline.

How do Swiss handle excess baggage?

The Swiss Economy baggage allowance is 20 kgs (BA 23 kilos), hand-baggage 8kgs (never come across a limit on BA for single bag) and sports excess is CHF60 for 15kgs (ski boots?).

I don't think that's particularly generous. Don't get me started on E'jet.
