Not only a bit but a lot, twaaaaaa !!! why charge us so much for travelling. If you charge less you get more custom. Don't bleed us dry forever.

There are some ideas while microeconomically appealing may be macroecomically disastrous.

The distance from Britain to USA is greater than the distance from Accra to UK. If they charge $300 then from Accra to UK should be less than $300. British airways and the other foreign airlines charge us far more than that. ...

the tax on international travel is set by IATA. its set by the number of hours the plane is in the air..the airport tax alone to the USA on any flight is more that $300. so you cant get a ticket less than $300 to the usa.

You know Ghanaiains, especially, travel a lot and you have been milking them for a long time(Compare your West African Fares to those of the America, even though, the America journeys are further) and it is about time you showed proper appreciation, of your African rooootes, by permanently reducing your fares from U.K. to Africa, particularly, West Africa.

WITH THE HELP OF OUR THIEVING POLITICIANS BA MANAGED TO COLLAPSE GHANAIR. THEN CAME VIRGIN WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO OFFER SOME COMPETITION, BUT WHAT HAPPENED? THEY ALSO GAVE SOME FLIMSY EXCUSE AND BEFORE ONE COULD MAKE SOME SENSE OF THEIR EXCUSE, BA SUDDENLY STARTED TO INCREASE THE NUMBER THEIR OF FLIGHTS. THEN COMES THIS SO CALLED PROMO. I CAN ASSURE READERS THAT THE NEXT BIG NEWS FROM BA WOULD BE 'A TWICE DAILY SERVICE' ( 14 FLIGHTS A WEEK). DOES ANYTHING CLICK YOUR MIND? WELL I AM SURE YOU GOT IT RIGHT IN YOUR MIND THAT WE GHANAIANS HAVE TO SIT UP AS A PEOPLE AND START THINKING. FOR ME, IT'S SIMPLY DECEIT BY BA AND NOTHING ELSE.

A NIGERIAN CONMAN GENERAL MANAGER IS ALSO COLLUDING WITH HIS WHITE SLAVE MASTERS TO MAINTAIN THE RIP OFF OF WEST AFRICAN TRAVELLERS TO THE UK.

REDUCE THE FARE PERMANENTLY FOR THAT 6-HOUR FLIGHT FROM KIA ACCRA TO LONDON HEATHROW.

THAT WILL BE A GENUINE REPRESENTATION OF YOUR APPRECIATION, NOT THAT FRAUDUENT ONE-OFF $74.00 FLIGHT TO LONDON.

THAT'S CALLED CONFIDENCE TRICKSTERING.

I'VE BEEN ON THE 10-HOUR ROUND TRIP BA FLIGHTS FROM LONDON TO NEW YORK'S JFK SEVERAL TIMES FOR $300.00, SO DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO CHARGE GHANAIANS OR WEST AFRICANS MORE THAN $300.00 FOR A 6-HOUR ROUND TRIP FLIGHT TO LHR?

I BET GHANA'S USELESS "LEADERS" ARE AWARE OF THIS "BIG TIME" RIP OFF OF GHANAIAN PASSENGERS TO LHR, BUT DO THEY CARE?

MEANWHILE, THE INFLIGHT SERVICES ON THE ROUND-TRIP FROM LONDON TO JFK NEW YORK IS SUPER.

COMPARE THAT TO THE KIA ACCRA TO LONDON ROUND-TRIP INFLGHT SERVICES, AND YOU'LL BE SAD TO BE A BLACK MAN.

EVEN THE DEPARTURE AND ARRIVAL TERMINALS ARE INCOMPARABLE.

DO BLACK AFRICANS, PARTICULARLY GHANAIANS, GET IT?

No!!! They don't care that's our problem.
They don't use their own money to pay for flights and they take bribes from Britain airways.

The only answer is competition, they had Virgin Airlines, but what happened to them? Some stupid pocket politicians took bribes from the same British airways to stop virgin flights to Ghana the last time I heard virgin airlines flights go to Nigeria. Because our leaders don't use their own money to pay for flights they don't care. How can a country like Ghana not even own a single plane?
