Battle of the Airlines: 'We must get more passengers'
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.'I MUST have been the victim of an elaborate and disgraceful deception carried out by British Airways.' - Yvonne Parsons, Virgin passenger who BA tried to poach.
'BRITISH Airways doesn't make money by helping old biddies to the gate. From now on we must get more passengers from other airlines.' - Jeff Day, head of BA's special services and sales at Gatwick airport.
'I FOUND it spooky to think they had been watching me.' - A rock musician offered BA business class ticket for economy fare by BA staff who said they knew he was a regular Virgin passenger.
'SPECIAL combination locks were fixed to the doors - only team members knew the combination. We were told never to discuss work with BA staff or mention it to friends or families.' - Sadig Khalifa, former member of dirty-trick team.
