Hi Ben.
I am off to China on 12th September and just lately there have been some unflattering remarks about Air China. I realise that it would be virtually useless to complain about any poor service to Air China if my flight did not come up to scratch.
However, I have noticed on the Heathrow departure boards that it is a code share flight with Virgin. I don't think that Richard Branson would like getting a complaint about a flight that he co shares with. I realise that Virgin do not operate the flight, but, at the same time, he would not want to be seen to operate along with a second rate carrier on long haul.
Hopefully, our group will have the most wonderful flight ever. I keep my options open!!
