    THAT IS A PRESIDENT. KUDOS NADAA.

  • Omanba Pa, Islington-London 7 years ago

    I stopped taking British Airways for over 2 years now because they have no respect for Ghanaians. They offer Nigerians 80kg but Ghanaians only 50kg. Why is that so?

  • Yaa 7 years ago

    Agree so much

  • MORRISON 7 years ago

    The reasons BA wouldn't give services everywhere they fly to are obvious. While their flagship First Class & Business Class compartments are always overbooked in both Nigeria and South Africa, BA leaves Accra destination with ...

    "The reasons why BA wouldn't give same and equal services everywhere they fly to are obvious"

  • Dr fake 7 years ago

    Oh shut up. It is so obvious you a staff

  • Life 7 years ago

    If BA feels it cannot make money out of the London Accra route it should get out. I always use KLM whose staff are proper human beings. I bet you cannot afford 1st class yourself so shut your gob.

    British Airways not the best plane to Ghana anymore. Passengers should look elsewhere for alternative flights to Ghana.

  • JOSHUA 7 years ago

    THESE AIRLINES DON'T CARE ABOUT BLACK ASS YET THEY WANT THEM MONEY AND GHANAIANS NEED TO RETHINK THE WORLD HAVE CHANGE SO MUCH THERE IS SO MUCH ALTERNATIVES OUT THERE. LET BRITISH AIRWAYS GO WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE

    1) You cannot DEVELOP your own country. You go elsewhere to CHOP ADRO and live off THEIR hard work.

    2) You want Nice Airplanes & Service?
    Have you seen Ghana Airways? What happened?

  • national 7 years ago

    We all hope that one day you will start thinking again. You mean if you pay someone the money he demands for some specific services you accept anything offered ?

  • AHA 7 years ago

    Is GRANDFATHER not telling the truth? Running a business is not easy. Ghanaman wants to pay the least in airfare, and but get the most service. If BA runs that way, they will be out of business.
    This was the reason Ghana A ...

  • Asante Snr. 7 years ago

    Talking of service in BA, it may not be perfect. On the same note, have you ever taken Ghana Airways? We GHANAIANS ARE DIFFICULT PEOPLE.

    1) In Ghana Airways, the Stewardess will not serve you much. They hide the food to se ...

  • Sintim 7 years ago

    60 YEARS DOWN THE LINE, GHANA IS STILL STRUGGLING FOR 100% OWNERSHIP OF A VIABLE AIRLINE, SO AKUFFO-ADDO SHOULD JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BLAME HIMSELF AND GHANA'S OTHER USELESS LEADERSHIP COLLEAGUES.

    WE NEED OUR OWN CARRIER WHETHER PRIVATE OR GOVERNMENT TO PUT THEM IN CHECK. WHEN VIRGIN COMES BACK THEY WILL COMPROMISE AND GIVE US THE SAME SERVICE SO WE WILL BE BETTER OFF TO HAVE A LOCAL CARRIER.

    A country without a national airline what do you expect. We use our aircrafts for restaurants and parties.

  • Stone 7 years ago

    This has been going on for over 2 decades now. They use old rickety planes which are scary when in the air. You sometimes hear unusual noise from the plane.
    The only reason why people go for it is that their fare is moderate ...
