    We’ve oversold your flight. There are seats in business but you’re not important enough a customer for us to give you one.—@british_airways

        @aral that’s just ridiculous. Hopefully it’ll be first-come-first-serve and you’ll get on because you were there in time.

        @laurakalbag @aral it's BA. Don't hold your breath on the first come first served rule. I've found Easyjet to be more principled.

        @basexperience @laurakalbag @easyjet have always been friendly and down to earth; @British_Airways just made me feel worthless.

        @aral @British_Airways @KLM it is the beginning of a result of personal data collection. People are ‘tagged’ and put in ‘a box’. #sad

        @aral @British_Airways none of this helps my belief that flying is THE WORST travel experience.
