British Airways thank you. Thank you for making what could have been a very tiring trip to London one of the most exceptional traveling experiences that we have had. Last year we traveled with our daughter and two year old grandson. Your staff went well beyond the call of duty to make us all feel so welcome. The special requirements for the little boy were never a problem to your staff who went about their work with smiles and a gracious attitude. My wife and I are traveling with British Airways again this year. Our trips begin when we leave our beautiful home; British Airways never let us down, we could not expect a better First Class experience.
