You can leave it in their hands and they deal with the airlines. I have a good one, and I’m grateful for them every time there’s some kind of hiccup in my travels. Well worth the per ticket fee.

But when things go wrong, the BA disfunctions really come out. They’ve lost my luggage several times over the years, and the BA “customer service” reps couldn’t be less helpful. They often try to make it my fault that they lost my luggage. Given that I’m likely to travel to Basel several times a year for the foreseeable future, I would think my business would be worth more than that.

Oh, I think you are trying to be pedantic.

You’re right, but I’m not changing it.

Did you mean British Airways? (Not trying to be pedantic, but… )

Don’t think that it’s just a British Air travel problem as we have the same problem here in the USA in arranging travel. I blame it on many things—the sudden “need” to travel, but these travelers want bargain prices, with last minute purchases. Okay the airlines want full planes ( all seats booked) to cover their costs, but refuse to deal with any changes to flight plans unless I get the same setup for travel that I pre-booked and paid for. It is advised that you purchase all travel arrangements 6 weeks ahead of time. That alone should guarantee that you should not be affected by changes in the scheduling of the travel arrangements other than flight numbers. But unfortunately there are last minute accommodations made unknown by the traveler that effects placement, etc. , plus those last minute travel purchasers who assume that they can upgrade their purchase to your accommodation and you wouldn’t mind. If I paid for a first class seat, I am not going to switch it with someone whose travel partner got a Coach ticket to avoid cost for 2 first class tickets. I have made the airlines issue me credit if I can’t get what I paid for immediately. Good luck, with your traveling. Get what you paid for.
