Cory Doctorow: I was trying to buy a one-way ticket from Brussels to London in September, and I ran into the weirdest, dumbest thing: British Airways won't sell you a ticket over the Web if your credit-card isn't billed in the same country the flight originates in (Er, hello? You're an airline -- that means you deal with people who are traveling, sometimes to countries other than the one that they reside in).

So I called BA and was told that the same ticket would cost 400 percent more if bought over the phone. So I went to a BA counter in Boston and was quoted a fare that was 200 percent more than the Web-fare.

I tried booking through Expedia, but they wanted to mail me a paper ticket. Since I rarely touch down in any city for more than a couple days, intersecting with a postal-delivery system for time-sensitive materials is pretty tricky.

Then I gave up on the Web and went to SN Brussels Air, a little carrier whose website has never ever worked for me. I called the London reservations desk and booked a ticket for exactly what BA charges via its website.

That's no surprise: as it turns out, the flight is operated by British Airways. It's the same goddamned plane.

So that's the point of this post: if ever you want to book a ticket on BA from Brussels to London, book it through SN Brussels Air (by phone -- the website will probably remain busted for all eternity), and you can circumvent BA's dumbass ecommerce policies and extorionate phone/counter prices.

British Air Puts In-Flight Wi-Fi on Hold 09/07/2004 12:32 PM
British Airways, one of the first airlines to trial Connexion by Boeing's onboard Internet access service, won't be moving aggressively forward with rolling out the service on its fleet: The reason British Airways gives is exactly one that Glenn continues to point out--it doesn't pay off for airlines to ground their planes for around 10 days or more to install the Connexion service. A British Air spokesman said he thinks onboard email access is a great idea but that it will have to be built into planes as they are being manufactured rather than retrofitted afterward. This realization may be good news for Tenzing, which offers a solution that is far easier to build onto existing planes, though offers a lower throughput on the service....
