25 mins late. The flight attendants were chatting and laughing loudly at the rear, which was rather unpleasant.
The flight was excellent, the crew was super friendly. The only complaint I have is, 3 of my zipper handles were broken and there were 2 massive scratches on the back of my bag
As per usual when you Hit the UK it's a slow process through customs Not as efficient at Thailand for sure
Empty seats next to me - wish it had been for a longer flight!!
KLM remains a quality flag carrier airline which maintains its standards whilst all their competitors are lowering theirs.
Cabin crew professional, polite and friendly, boarding was seemless, but come on KLM surely you can do better than a pack of cheesy biscuits as an inflight snack
The plane. Airbus A330-200. Comfortable for a 7-hour flight. Seats seemed to have more legroom. I was in row 17. Flight was operated by Delta but was better than expected.
The food from Lagos to Amsterdam was was very poor compared to AMS-YYZ
We left one hour late because of technical difficulties. The economy comfort seats are great for the price. The crew was mediocre, they do not provide a pleasant experience, they just deliver food and drinks and give orders, not very amicable, no service and hospitality focus.
Boarding in NCL is really bad. I'm sure part of that is a directive from the airport that KLM can't change but part of that is due to KLM policy. NCL doesn't announce the gate of departure until 30 minutes before departure. However, when you arrive at the gate area, the gate agents file everyone into one long line and everyone boards from one line at one time. This line can stretch for 200m...easily. There is a separate line for groups 1 and 2 but you don't know it until you get to the gate area and agents don't announce/advertise it. Everyone else is grouped into one line. Are you in group 3? Doesn't matter...you board with group 5. Traveling with a child? Tough luck...you're stuck at the end of the line and board last. The last part is very annoying because none of the gates at NCL (with the exception of 1 used by Emirates) has a jetway. To board, you must leave the gate area, walk downstairs, walk onto the tarmac and walk up stairs to board the plane. Highly challenging if you're traveling with small children. That boarding process begs for a concession to allow people with children to board first because they will need extra time. But there is no such policy. Just a really horrible boarding experience all around.
I arrived to Delhi one day late without my checked in baggage. I don't have a good way to follow up on the lost baggage via the online website. Here is why: Details: BA 277 from LHR to Delhi India was canceled and I lost my baggage. British Airways via Kayak rescheduled me and the rescheduled flight was with Hyderabad as the new port of entry into India. The connecting flight from Hyderabad to my final destination New Delhi was operated by IndieGo. I made a lost baggage report in Hyderabad as my bag did not arrive at the port of entry. I would have to re-check it in from there to go to Delhi. I did not get a reference number from them. They just told me it would start with "HYDBA". They took my email and phone but have not contacted me yet after 18 hours. The lost baggage online portal in www.ba.com does not let me create a new report because the last leg of my journey was operated by IndieGo and according to the website I am supposed to contact IndieGo. But I did not receive the bag at the port of entry so IndieGo would not have it anyway. This is a circular problem and I don't know how I will get my bag back within the next 72 hours. Thanks for your attention in this matter.
Fondo was great. Staff were great. Arrived 20 minutes early......doesn’t Get any better.
Compared to other leading airlines their business class felt like I was in an economy class that you could lay flat in. It was extremely mid. I think there needs to be a complete revamp of all British airways planes and they should also train their staff to be more attentive to customers not that they were bad it just felt disjointed.
I judge the quality of the flight by the food....it was disgusting! Come on BA, you can do better than this.
My baggage (1) didn’t arrive with me. I am waiting for it.
Level of cabin service was poor for what i'd expect from Business Class. had to go to galley to ask for beverage or refills. Final outbound service wasn't fully served because service was started late, as a result of the crew taking a break later than planned during flight and having compressed time before landing (no clear how this poor planning was possible on a 10 hour flight). Seat comfort was poor compared to Emerates and Ithiad
This is just for first leg, second leg from London Heathrow to Delhi was the worst.
The seats often do not function - in the premium economy the seat does not lean back. The passenger in front of me decided to come and sit next to me on his own volition because his seat was not leaning back.
The flight was very delayed in taking off - which was out of control of the crew, but then the pilot worked hard so we only arrived about 30 minutes late. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating!
Flight was canceled with little notice or explanation. There were no other flights to Belfast from Heathrow, so I had to travel across town to London City (or wait until the next day).
