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.
Cons: We were flying from JFK to heathrow to Tel Aviv. Israel declared that they we’re going to mandate all persons coming in for 14 days. British Airways did not cancel our flight and would not give us a refund. They would only rebook our flight to several weeks later. We booked our flight months ago because the specific time we booked was convenient for us. Our new flight is not convenient for us and we don’t want to go to a country that we will have to be quarantined in. We were very disappointed.
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: There was no food or drinks on an international flight - you had to pay for even a coffee or tea ...... not acceptable!
Pros: Crew was good. Seats comfortable.
Cons: The ear plugs connection to the screen was not working 100%. Overall good flight, better than any of the American carriers,
Pros: Captain was trying to uplift passengers spirits
Cons: Flight should have full service instead of snacks and the wasn't any entertainment on a flight for 4.5hrs to 5hr
Pros: Great crew
Cons: Very old entertainment system
Cons: This has been the most convenient way I’ve ever traveled.
Pros: Nothing it was delayed by over an hour and there was ZERO on ground or in air rebooking support or information at all! Ground crew were useless and rude. No one was there to navigate us through a delay that you all caused. We were traveling with 5 children and there was zero sense of urgency. We missed our connecting flight as a result as did the 100+ other passengers on this flight. How could BA not notify it’s partner AA to delay the connecting transatlantic flight as a result of its 1hr long delays? Horrid!
