Good Lord, is this fiasco still carrying on ?

It's a national disgrace and symptomatic of short-sighted penny-pinching by Board level members.

This is what happens when you cut corners folks.....

Who'd sleep with a box over their head!? I think they are journalists posing for dramatic effect, or Virgin Atlantic employees having a laugh, or maybe they are just fugly.

Whatever happens this year I'll be making sure any flights I book aren't with BA. He's a right narky sod if the sedation wares off mid-flight.

It took me about 10 minutes to work out that joke.

I'm not a morning person.

Yeah I did ponder the spelling for a moment, then thought sod it, no-one on here will notice. I underestimated you, sorry, it'll happen again.

That's the obvious way to sleep in those circs - It blocks out the light, and some of the sound. It also hides the face, which can look less than flattering if your mouth is lolling open or whatever.

Ahhh, also stops flies (and other things ) from getting into your mouth.

Never seen people resort to that when their flight's been delayed by several days though. Must be for first class passengers, the rest get a paper bag, or if you're being a right pain in the ass, a plastic bag.

I don't think they all got cardboard boxes, just the ones who grabbed the boxes the mattresses came in. Still, living in a cardboard box at an airport is cheap and you get to meet lots of people, etc. A paper bag is nowhere near as luxurious as a cardboard box though IMO.
