BA when i phoned said that the can take bikes but stressed the weight limit ie: anything over 25 kg is charged at £5 per kg each way!!

On a seperate call i managed to somehow get through to the director of safety for BA (who happenend to have a bike with disc brakes) and inform him of Easyjets new policy. His reaction was something along the lines of fu....ck in wankers but said i should call him back on his mobile on Tuesday to make sure a directive from ICAO (governing aviation body on safety) had not been issued and that BA may have just been slow to react. Lets hope not!

We could all drive down to the alps. Say 4 people in a car with 4 bikes on the roof would be fairly cost effecive and quick if we split the driving. Takes 8 hours or so from Calais. So by the time we had got to the airport, checked in hung around and then bussed it to the resort at the other end we could almost be there.

I like Andy and Hwe positive attitude.
3 years ago i flew with BA from Heathrow to Geneva £75.00 each way, leather seats, leg room and a meal. Best of all no excess.
