I thought that I would add a few comments about our journey to Accra. We flew in two legs, each about 6 hours long. Halifax to Heathrow was with Air Canada on the 767 and we sneaked out before a snow event. Our bags were checked through to Accra and we had a 4 hour layover in Heathrow. Enough time to find our way through the maze of terminals to change from 2 to 3.
The flight from Heathrow to Accra, across the Sahara, was with British Airways. The smooth flight was in a Boeing 747 and was my first in that plane. Remembering being shown through the trainer for this type back in the mid-sixties, I had to ask the crew how old this one was. Being assured that it was only 25 years old, I got on.
For some reason BA charges you to preselected seats and this is my only complaint. I broke down and paid the extra because I couldn't abide not sitting with Joy to hold my hand. If you Google BA, you will see that there are many complaints about this practice, and you would think that the airline would increase prices a little and allow for free seat selection?

BA isn't the only one. The cheap fares on AC state that as well. You get your seats when you checkin at the airport. Glad you're having a good time and not in need of the casket maker's wares.
