How low can you go? We all love a great flight deal, but there’s a point at which you’ve gotta say “mercy”. While some airlines offering great deals have the biggest and widest seats, with top notch wifi and power ports, others offer seats which may or may not have been previously installed as torture devices in North Korean prisons. Here are the long haul airlines and planes you want to avoid, no matter how good the deal. We’ll cover short haul disasters…shortly.

    1. for the love of god. I get nothing from British Airways. If you crunch the cubic space numbers you’d see you’re just not right. I don’t know you- but your obsession with hatred for an airline which is not the best or the worst is beginning to wear on me. Last night on an old 747 I had a working USB power plug, a working entertainment screen, 30” pitch. Whatever they’ve done to you I’m sorry, but it has nothing to do with me. They screwed up last week- I wrote a negative article, they do something good- they get a positive article. Enough already.
