I thought they might cut it this year, they've cut food on short haul too.
Fly Swiss, is the answer!

Agree - Swiss are fab
You get a little roll, drinks (inc alc.) and even a Swiss chocolate.

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.

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.
