I don't get your point. Because he travels with his bodyguards he should fly BA first class?
If it was a PR stunt it was a very low key one.

I don't know why he worries about being a man of the people he won't be PM in a few years time anyway.

Plus within Europe there is no true Business Class anyway, even 'Business' Class on British Airways is the exact same economy seating with the same pitiful 31" pitch only with the middle seat 'blocked'. Great.
So really there isn't much, if any, difference between Easyjet and any other airline to a European destination.
Short of a private jet there isn't a 'posher' way to fly to Ibiza from the UK, really.

Yup. I've done First Class in Europe and it was exactly as you said. 3 seats with the middle one closed, in reality you have a 3'r to yourself as hardly anyone else is stupid enough to travel First Class in between Europe but you do get some more tasteless food options and the ability to board without a queue which you get on any airline, pretty much, for a tenner in Europe.

That's nonsense. It's not exactly lay-flat beds on BA's European routes but the pitch is much better than in economy. It's usually a 2-2-2 configuration on their 777s, rather than 2-3-2 so the seats are slightly wider too.
Not worth the extra money though.
It's not nonsense at all.
BA do not fly 777's shorthaul in Europe (and all Business Class seats on every BA 777 are lie-flat Club World not 2-2-2 regular seats). Occasionally in the event of disruption you might get one on an unusual flight but it isn't the standard or advertised product.
The standard Club Europe (European Business Class) product is the same seating pitch as Euro Traveller, with the middle seat blocked, as I said.
See for yourself, here is the seat plan on a European shorthaul A320:

You'll notice the curtain between the two classes moves back and forth depending on demand - they are the same economy seats...

As someone who flies 100+ flights a year on BA, I can tell you categorically that you are wrong (as of the recent refit) and Fox is right.
Also 99% of their short haul aircraft are Airbus A318/320 and not Boeing 777s. Standard configuration is 3-3 and in CE they just don't sell the middle seat.
Same as economy but with 2-2-2 created by blocking the middle seat in the middle aisle..
Pitch is good, but then it's good in Economy as well, as it's the same 33".
Which leads us back to the original point - European Business on BA = the same as economy but with a middle seat, where present, blocked.

I assume he means being branded a terrorist, or even worse turning her phone whilst the plane is in the air, she could've caused it to crash with her irresponsible attitude.
CAA regulations have changed, you can now use electronic devices fine on a plane so long as they are in airplane mode. Even during landing and take off with the exception of laptops.
This varies from aircraft type to aircraft type and carrier to carrier though you've always been able to use a phone in Airplane Mode anyway.
