"Don't Call It a Comeback, I've Been Here For Years" - Has British Airways Got it's Swagger Back?
I’m, not saying they’re perfect, but hear me out. British Airways was once the gold standard of aviation - flying with the slogan "The World's Favourite Airline". Then came decades of cost-cutting, IT disasters, catering fiascos, and a general sense that the airline had given up trying.

Why Do Airbus Planes Sound Like They're Barking? - You Don't Need to Open the Emergency Exits...
You've probably heard it, that peculiar barking sound from an Airbus A320 (flown by easyJet, Jet2 BA, etc), usually just as you've settled in for a pleasant flight. It sounds rather like an indignant dog has taken up residence in the cabin. Rest assured, there is no dog.
