Pros: Great flight and well organised during Covid-19
Pros: Nice crew
Pros: Seating was comfortable though a tad bit cramped.
Cons: Window was dirty from someone touching it on a previous flight. Cannot wear headphones during takeoff or landing was an inconvenience. Cabin crew made sure all passengers were held tightly to their rules but then got themselves a coffee and chatted up front the majority of the time. (Only an hour trip, so no beverages or snacks for us)
Pros: Flight was cancelled
Cons: If flight took place
Pros: Flight was cancelled
Cons: If flight took place
Cons: Nothing!!! It was a great flight!!!
Cons: Nothing
Pros: The crew were amazing, kind and attentive. My seat 30H had the ultimate leg room ( I am 6' 4") so it was fantastic for me. The food was quite tasty. Really enjoyed the humorous BA video for the safety
Cons: No
Pros: Boarding was quick and expedient. I was worried the flight might have been held up because Schiphol airport is too small to handle its increasing air traffic and is often backed up with planes waiting on the tarmac to dock or take off.
But it was an early morning flight and everything went smoothly. We landed on time, disembarked efficiently, and were on our way.
Cons: Everything was great.
Pros: The crew was exceptional, the service was great and the entertainment options were abundant. Great flight!
Pros: Flight on time, seats comfortable.
Cons: For such a short flight no improvements are needed.
Pros: Comfortable seats, new plane and friendly crew.
Cons: Food needs to improve. Pasta versus pasta is not a choice.
Cons: Nothing,perfect flight
Cons: Nothing, one of my best flights ever.
Pros: Crew was ok and the seat was a bit uncomfortable. I am over 6 feet so I always have a bit of a problem with the seat
Cons: Seat
Cons: Significant delays
Cons: The flight from London to Miami was great! The one from Miami to Las Vegas was awful. No seat-back entertainment screens, not power outlets so you could watch on your own device, one bottle of water for a five hour flight, and ride, inattentive cabin crew. I should point out that while I booked through BA, both flights were operated by American Airlines.
Pros: It flew
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Crew is very attentive and working hard during trying times.
Cons: My chairs screen in particular was very difficult to use because the touch screen was not working 90% of the time.
Pros: The crew was fabulous. Very helpful and upbeat!
Cons: The food wasn’t very good.
Pros: We were able to leave the country quickly.
Cons: It was freezing on the plane.
Pros: Literally nothing.
Cons: It could have happened.
Pros: Crew were polite
Pros: Crew was attentive - the service from SJC is much better than SFO - less crowded etc. New 787 and Premium Econ is great.
Pros: everything was fine. uneventful
Cons: Food
Pros: everything was fine. uneventful
Cons: food
Pros: The crew was super friendly and amazing at an incredibly tough and tense time due to the Coronavirus outbreak. A very stressful and long flight was made a bit better and I truly thank you guys for that.
Cons: Was overnight flight but food was served very late and lights were on for a while so people were getting drunk and loud with free alcohol served but no milk for toddlers available.
Pros: Very comfy seats.
Pros: No and no.
Cons: Very crowded in.club class. Way lower standard for business class as compared to the other airlines.
Pros: Glenlivet whisky for free
Pros: Crew was friendly and everything was perfectly on time!
Pros: My air hostess was very friendly and kind
Cons: Food for vegetarians
Pros: Crew were impressive bcos they looked fresh after 11 hours. Seating was very comfortable as whole rows were empty so you could stretch, and no waits for the loos. Entertainment monitors were the updated kind, also a plus, I really enjoyed switching from movies and tv to the flight graphics.
Cons: The tv news on BBC was 1 week old.
Pros: The crew were gracious and attentive to keeping us hydrated in Economy.
Cons: The seats were uncomfortable on this full flight, the food was average.
Pros: Crewwere polite and competent. Seats felt a little cramped.
Cons: I was in Business Class. The pillow appeared to be used on the flight from London to Antigua so i threw it on the floor in front of me. You would think with coronavirus it would be sealed like on American Airlines. No sandwiches or anything except some nuts and a small diet coke. I had to ask for a second one. It appears they only care about the people from London. Deplaning was from the middle door and it was a free for all. They have no idea about service well at least not in this leg.
Cons: Enternteiment and seats
Cons: I needed wheelchair assistance due to a back injury. The person that picked me up at the aircraft from London was terrific, l was taken to the terminal and told that another team member would take me to the aircraft. No one showed up until the aircraft was fully boarded, then he left me at the beginning of the ramp instead of wheeling me to the aircraft. I was very disappointed! I was so disappointed I didn’t wait for a pickup at the airport in Amsterdam. I regret it, because I’m in so much pain!
Pros: The fact that we had dinner and a snack was great! The crew were fantastic!
Cons: It was a bit cramped but overall it was a wonderful experience
Pros: Crew!
Cons: Seat spaces are so small for long flights. London Helsinki on the back seat was a torture.
Cons: It would be nice if at least snacks and a cup of water were provided.
Pros: In flight entertainment was good, half of the cabin crew were super friendly, others a bit bored.
Cons: Brand new A350 but very cramped seats, it felt very claustrophic. Flew out on a 747 and had a lot of space - wonderful aircraft, flew back on A350 and it felt like flying Ryanair for 7 hours! I am only 5 feet 7 and my knees were close to the seat in front, I am not fat but the tray table was touching my stomach. I dread to think how anyone ate the food if they are 15 stone or more, I guess the table rest on the stomach and the food has to be held on.. The food wasn't good, I asked for a vegetarian meal but got bland vegan food - no cheese or dairy even though those are vegetarian. Next time I will not order a special meal and just get the standard vege meal and risk that they have one for me. Flight crew were OK, some of the instructions about electronic devices were garbled and unclear, especially about the use of laptops.
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
Pros: Crew amazing yes. Seat comfortable.
Cons: None for now!
