In my experience of international flights - around 100 or so, BA comes way down my list of preferred carriers. I put them on a par with hte likes of Turkish Air, Olympic and Lufthansa.
On a Business Class flight from New York the dessert had green mold on it. The response from BA "Management" was that they were not responsible for the food as it was provided by an outside caterer.
On one trip we flew Gulf Air from Bahrain to Nairobi and then transferred to BA to complete the trip to South Africa (Apartheid days) - the comparison did not favour BA.
On my opinion, the problems they do not provide good in-flight service, unhelpfull cabin crew and they are one of the most expensive - the best in my experience have been Emirates, Etihad (UAE). Thai and Singapore.
