British Airways flight reviews by eDreams customers
It was OK. We arrived slightly early.
My plane was delayed at Aberdeen airport that is why my flight from Heathrow to Doha was cancelled. I had to stay at London overnight and travelled the following day . Due to delay at Duce airport my another flight from Kathmandu was cancelled.
Make it clear in Barcelona that the airline for the journey is in the correct location
Poor seating. Poor food. Difficult /expensive seat choice
A very misleading ticket. It said 1 connection! It wasn't a cheap ticket at ?659. I had to pay an addition fee of ?57 to be able to transfer from Heathrow to Gatwick to get the Cape Town connection. I had collect my luggage as it could be completely checked through because of 2 airport changes in London!! On return the transfer from Gatwick back then to terminal 2 at Heathrow was so long I missed my connecting flight. NOT HAPPY . I EXPECT YOUR RESPONSE
Great flight from Lcy
I will never again take this flight!
I highly appreciated the sms send by british airways informing of a possible delay in departure the next morning early..they still wanted pax at airport at 6am BUT informed probable departure after 9 due to the weather..to be kept informed is important :)
Slightly unusual that BA don't accept cash for in flight purchases, also total lack of inflight entertainment.... But not really a deal breaker, otherwise everything OK.
Flight good but we had a long bus drive from plane to terminal. Would seriously consider not flying to Heathrow.
Flight was over an hour late leaving Newquay which meant that when we got to Heathrow we had missed our coach to get to Gatwick. We arrived at Gatwick 2 minutes before our second flight was due to leave. Thankfully British Airways were very helpful and managed to book us on a later flight and provided ?20 in vouchers for food. On the way home our flight to Newquay was cancelled completely and we were put on a coach which meant we arrived home 6 hours later than planned. Not a pleasant experience at all.
Flight was delayed on both trips
Very comfortable , stress free flight
Glad to see BA stick to their standards of service. Unique in their own quality of service even though it is an older company, compairing their service to other low cost flight companies I would say BA has far better one than them. Also the plane is spacious, a whole lot quieter, friendly staff and you don't have to pay separately for simple foods on thr plane as it comes with the service. Just how it is supposed to be.
BA excellent.and M and S sandwiches.
