Thousands using 'illegal' Skype on mobile in UAE

Posted by Matt Blair at 14:20 UAE time I received the BA announcemnet on reduced fares and replied to their email by saying that I would like to book with them but I am just not prepared to take the risk of my business and or holidays being disrupted. I am not surprised to read that bookings are down by 50% --- it will only get worse as their compeditors make similar price reductions and can still garuantee the flight will happen.

Posted by alex at 13:59 UAE time I have travelled to London once a month for five years, I used to always fly BA because the flat-beds are so much more comfortable than Emirates and because Virgin not having an overnight flight to London is useless. Since having to change three different flights because of the strikes, I now only travel on Emirates: that's AED18,000 per month (AED220,000 per year) of revenue that BA has lost from me alone.To emphasis BA's problems - if you wanted to book an airmiles flight in business or first you had to book nine months in advance a year ago; I booked one in business on Friday for same day (and there were seats available on virtually every flight for two weeks!) I have 600,000 airmiles with BA and I trying to use them as quickly as possible before it goes bust.BA is going to have to come up with some seriously amazing offers to ever win my business (and that of others) back.Well done hosties!
