Air was not working while grounded and we were waiting in the heat for almost 2 hours until takeoff. It was way too hot to be on the plane for that long, especially with the same hot air circulating with people coughing and sneezing. We were all sweating. Flight crew was great and flight was very smooth in air as well as takeoff and landing. Also, wifi was not working and we were not able to watch anything. Screens were not working. There were no earbuds given out even if we wanted to watch something. That was very disappointing as it was a very long flight and we had 2 young children with us.
NYC JFK there is no information about delayed flight, milan airport no information where to pick up the bording pass
In-flight service was very good. Plane had spacious overhead bins and incorporated windows with an automatic dimming feature eliminating the need for traditional plastic shades. Boarding was halted and the crew did not communicate a reason. We waited on the gang plank for 30 minutes after showing boarding passes without being given a reason.
Our flight with Neos airlines was great. The price was very reasonable, the staff very professional and accomodating. The flight was comfortable with more leg room than most airlines I have travelled with in the past. The food and service while on board was good. I would travel again to Italy and back with Neos if given the opportunity.
We never got to the flight due to ferry cancelation due to bad weather and could not contact with anyone for support and advice. We'll appreciate your support now in our attempts to get refund
So smooth and easy! From boarding to arriving, we are very happy with our experience on air Canada.
No entertainment what’s so ever so you may want to prepare yourself. Our flight was delayed.
Owfull, arrive to my destination 4 days ago and still waiting for my luggage
Our flight was rescheduled causing us to miss our connecting flight, then missed our option of a ferry.
All went extremely smoothly even during the busy Christmas travel season. This flight (when I took it) is a daytime flight (14:00 departure NZ time) so it was hard for me to sleep. Other carriers fly overnight (18:00 departure NZ time), which is much more conducive to sleeping. .
My screens didn't work on both my flights, while most of the cabin's did. Flights were OK, one took off over an hour late.
I had a disappointing experience at the San Diego airport with one of your gate agents. Despite being in Zone 4 and traveling with a standard carry-on bag that has never been an issue (30 flights in Q4 alone), the tall, blonde gentleman forced me to gate-check my bag. When I politely asked if we could verify the bag’s size, he became confrontational, even threatening to deny me boarding twice. His behavior appeared erratic and unprofessional, projecting a negative attitude onto passengers, as if he was going through something mentally. Notably, there was ample overhead space once all passengers had boarded. In contrast, the tall, older Asian agent handled the situation with professionalism and calmness, making a clear effort to de-escalate. As an avid traveler, this unnecessary inconvenience set a frustrating tone for my trip to Asia.
The seats are soooooooo small in economy. I was offered no tea or coffee in the am. When I asked was told that it was too late. The plane was 2 hours late leaving.
Very good. Very efficient. Entertainment was not functioning both ways which was disappointing.
Easy check-in at yvr Pleasant flight crew More comfortable economy seating than usual
The flight was ok, the flight attendants were lovely, the movies were good, the food was ok, and I am just sad because my luggage didn't arrive with me in Iasi because the flight from Vancouver to Frankfurt was delayed and then I barely made the rest of my flights. Also, there was no real support once I got off each of the flights. There was nobody to ask about gate or where to be and for example when I got off in Vienna to catch the flight to Iasi there was no screen where I could read the gate and time of departure of the plane. I was going crazy trying to find the plane to Iasi and I barely made it. When my luggage finally arrived home it was broken. The handle was completely broken and that was not so good. I am in a visit here, in Romania, and I will have to buy a new luggage.
The flight to Frankfurt was delayed. Consequently the connecting flight to Seattle could not be boarded. Lufthansa accommodated in a Cattle Class Flight where the Seats and foods were horrible. I had only Hobson’s Choice and boarded the flight and reached Seattle 3hours later than my scheduled arrival.
Ground crew at checkin in Hyderabad airport was terrible, they seem to be intent on being a pain to passengers. Folks made a huge fuss about size of backpack and made me rearrange contents to make it fit in the sizing slot. All for a flight that is 60-70% full.
Food options in Economy class can be improved. The headphones on the entertainment system only have a single earphone active, this can be improved.
The flight crew, the on-plane service, and the food were fine. The seats lacked cushioning and were uncomfortable compared to other planes from recent flights. The plane was initially delayed one hour and that expanded to 1.5 hours. When we boarded, there was insufficient room for our carry-on bags, which added more time to disembarking from the plane. It appeared the Air Canada staff or the Toronto Airport staff were less than competent to handle whatever the issue was that caused the delays, which was never communicated.
Not a great experience. Food was very poor. Overall experience was mediocre to poor.
My baggage got struck in Rome while coming back from Hyderabad - SFO I missed my connection from Delhi to Hyderabad, and they were offering me a flight 3 days later. I had to purchase my ticket to go to Hyderabad.
Boarding was haphazard after people with small children or walking difficulties
Good flight overall But aircraft is little old- 747-400. Hence it is spacious compare to newer 787 dreamliners Asian vegetarian food was reasonably good
This flight was operated by Air India and it was good experience
Poor BA get a lot of stick and have some problems getting your bags to the same destination BUT the whole experience is very much 5 star and probably due to excellent, helpful and sooo British staff. We travelled in economy plus.
everything on the flight was a great experience except the food could have been better!
The seats were uncomfy and the food tasteless, crew clueless
Flights were on time. Crew was courteous. Food was much better than I expected. Heathrow is a good transit hub - great selection at the duty free.
Reasonably comfortable. Plenty of room. Crew were attentive and continually informing passengers of position. Although stuck in runway for 1 hour, weather issues, it felt like we were the crews first priority
Although it was an overnight flight, the crew could’ve have made more refreshment passes.
Everything was fine except not posting the gate number until 14 minutes before boarding. In an airport the size of Heathrow, that was unacceptable.
The least comfortable business class seat I have encountered for a while - very very firm when reclined making sleeping difficult. Cost cutting is visible everywhere - no offer to refill drinks (the wines were not good - so no real issue there :) ) Just not worth what BA charge
The trip from Portland to Italy was great. However, the trip from Italy back to Portland was terrible. We started off leaving an hour late from Pisa to Heathrow, which then made it too late to reach our connecting flight. We were instructed by a flight attendant that we needed to go to "anyone of their colleagues" and we would need to change our connecting flight. Once we finally found someone from BA and stood in the long line of other passengers. Someone from BA came up to us while in line and asked if we were re-booking due to a delay coming into Heathrow. We told them we were, and she asked if we even checked to see if they already re-booked us. Nope, didn't know they would do that, so yes, they did in fact re-book us to a flight that would leave in 45 minutes, and we didn't have a boarding pass. "no problem just go through security and tell them you don't have a boarding pass" - It doesn't work that way. No one including security knew what to do. They kept sending us all over the place to people that didn't know what to do. Finally made it through security (after 30 minutes of everyone trying to figure out what to do with us). BA put us on a flight with Delta so we had to go to Delta to get our boarding pass. Flight was already closed, so Delta said "you need to go back to BA". Waited in line for 30 minutes due to only 2 people trying to help everyone. She got us out on a new flight that left the next day, with a connecting flight to Seattle. They put us up in a hotel that was obviously run down with a lot of passengers from BA. They told us to come down and get dinner - sent to a buffet and told we had to sit in the back of the restaurant. The buffet was not good. However, we hadn't eaten all day, so we were both starving. They had a vat of a meat sauce that said "chicken sauce". I started eating it (on tope of the rice they had) and just about chocked on a chicken bone and then found several other chicken bone slivers. The other dish said "chicken curry" tried that instead and there were whole large bay leaves that I didn't see (because it was dark in the back of the restaurant) and got one caught in my throat. Frozen mixed vegetables that said "fresh steamed vegetables" nope. Got to the airport early the next morning so we could make sure there were no issues. Flew out from Heathrow to Seattle (crew was great) landed in Seattle 20 minutes early, but couldn't get off the plane for 1/2 hour. Our connecting flight was in 2 hours. Got off the plane, and it took 1 1/2 hours to get our luggage. After 30 minutes, I went to BA's customer service desk to see if she could help. Her response was "it's not really my issue" after 3 passengers told her to make it her issue and find out what was going on, the luggage stared coming out. Needless to say, we missed the connecting flight again! BA had rebooked us with Alaska for our connecting flight. So glad they did, because Alaska was fantastic! The rebooking process was much easier and they made sure we got out of Seattle that day so we could get home. All in all, I will never fly British Airways again.
The second leg of my flight unexpectedly got canceled. I was stuck at the airport for the whole day and instead of flying out that morning I flew out in the evening. For some of my fellow passengers it was the second cancellation and their original flight was supposed to go out the day before. There was no reason given though getting rebooked was quick even though I would have preferred if I would have been on one of the earlier flights that day. Compensation was a £10 voucher for some food at the airport. I eventually arrived without further incident but but due to the cancellation, it was one of my more frustrating travels of my life.
It was far better than what others had led me to expect. I would fly with them again. Don't expect all features of the entertainment system to work.
This was a bery good experience as it was a newer plane . AI older plane bussiness class is bad .
The trip with Air India was better than expected starting with the check-in and the Lounge. The flight was comfortable for a 1 hour flight.
The flight got delayed and was not updated in time.
Good experience, comfortable seats. Entertainment did not work but vista wifi and entertainment worked great.
I had a camera bag that exceeded the 10kg allowance for hand luggage. I am 67 years old and have been travelling will my cameras and lenses all over the world and have not paid once for the excess weight. Also, even if I wanted to check in the bag, I can’t due to lithium batteries and delicate equipment. Air India should review their policies. Or is it just a cash grab. I had to pay additional 7000 rupees.
Other than the inflight video screen freezing for about four hours everything else was brilliant.
The aircraft interiors are falling apart. Felt like a waste paying for business class as it was indistinguishable from economy in any way.
What a pathetic plane it was. Entertainment system didn’t work. USB port was broken. There was a hole on top of folding serving table. Broken restrooms in the middle of flight.
Our seat monitor did not Not work either way going to Vietnam. I had a bulkhead seat with plenty of room, but with No monitor, it was a long flight with no movies. Fun was good, staff was Excellent.
