Are you sitting comfortably?

If British Airways wants to reestablish itself as the World’s Favourite Airline among the business travel folk it is going a funny way about it. The firm has managed to squeeze an extra row of seats on flights from City Airport, popular with chief execs and hedge fund managers.

A BA spokesperson told Spy that aircraft flying from City “will be fitted with new slimline seats to maximise the space and comfort of our customers.” How innovative.
