BA or AC?<BR>I have a choice between flying with British Airways or Air Canada direct between Montreal and London. Both about the same times, same prices, both into LHR. Have any of you flown this route with either of them? Any advice that can help motivate my choice would be appreciated.<BR><BR>

I have flown BA to London from NY and it was fine. I've flown AC from NY to Montreal and it was fine. I think I might go with BA though, since you are going to England. Does that help at all.

I have done both from Toronto which I doubt makes a difference versus Montreal. Coach/economy is not very much different at all but the first or business class on BA is much better than the same on AC.<BR><BR>If flying AC economy, ask for one of the seats on the side, well forward that means you have only one seatmate versus 2 further back or 4/5 in the middle: first 11(?) of economy.

I have flown from Ottawa to London 11 times since 1993, sometimes direct, sometimes via Montreal. Nine of these have been on Air Canada, one on BA and one on Air France. I would not fly BA again, unless maybe if the price saving was in the multi hundreds of dollars. Yes, the food was a bit better, yes the flight attendants may have been a bit friendlier, but the cramped conditions were almost unbearable.

Thanks for all your responses. I haven't made a choice yet; I'm waiting to see what the consolidator fares will look like come Sept./Oct..
