Very bad service and food variety will never come back again

My baby was with me it was really good experience with emirates

Fantastic as ever. Great staff super catering and excellent service.

Flight and entertainment great. Food needs to be improved, only one choice on the menu. Staff worked well throughout.

Premium economy was worth it-comfort was definitely better than economy class. The seats were more comfortable, blankets and pillows thicker

Crew were excellent and the bar service and chat fantastic. Cheese board delicious. Amenity kit good, very disappointing not getting pyjamas on this leg of the flight and needed to reuse from earlier flight.

Everything was superb, only bad point was that the fast track on London Heathrow arrivals was not handed out to me and I had to go back to the gate to collect it.

Superb experience. I hope they bring back the fast track option at Heathrow immigration.

I liked theAVML food. Taste was alright and quantity was enough. Sometimes during the flight I felt that the smell from toilet was coming to the cabin

You can improve in many ways First the crew in general is good, but needs to work with passion to their works not like robots Second, collecting the ear headphones long time before landing is strange The crew should deal with the passengers with respect and descent way not like giving orders

Boarding was good and efficient, however since this was a late flight I spent most of the time sleeping so can't express any further opinions

Frequently flyer number should and could have been put on at the time of booking as I gave the number when booking.

See previous answers. Also food options limited, entertainment difficult to use and did not work properly, lay flat bed is quite big but very hard and uncomfortable

Excellent service provided the flight crew. Food and drinks were very good.

Cathay flight was fine, Amsterdam airport was a nightmare, spent way too much time walking to our next connection, no travelators.

Not good. Small seats. Not enough food that customers wanted. No special requests were given that i could see. Slow response from flight attendants

From Chicago to Hong Kong was great., but from Hong Kong to manila we had hard time looking for the gate of our connecting flight. There wasn’t hardly any sign.

we were upgraded which was a blessing and tender mercy for us. I fell the day before and was in extreme pain from knee to shoulder. Sitting in a more comfortable seat during the flight was an unexpected blessing and experience.

Cathay much better than other options Imigration was a total mess on arrival in KL but not Cathay s fault

Would have liked working outlets on the flight. The first meal was very bleh, the second meal was a lot better so overall okay meals

In my return flight they couldn’t identify my ticket or boarding pass, I had to go to 3 different counters until I was able to get my boarding pass. The food was on, it was the bear minimum. They didn’t even recognise that I was a Muslim and can’t eat meat, chicken or pork. In one of the trays I believe they served me pork. The staff were very pleasant, but they need to be aware of their surroundings more carefully, one of them stuck her lower belly right into my face! I was shocked and very uncomfortable.

Terrible boarding experience,,food is very poor that I I . Never going book this airline again.

Not good - chair back could not move back for premium economy. Not worth the price

It was great. The staff were so nice and helpful the food was great and they always made sure I was okay. As a foreigner I was worried about the language barrier but it was absolutely no issues. I highly recommend

No wheelchair service at all ( I did request that service and also purchased the priority assistant bundle) , what a waste of money

Flight canceled, but they didn't notify me. They arranged a nearby hotel and 4 meals for me to stay for 24 hours before I could board.

We bought the business class tickets. The check-in staff and onboard crew were excellent, providing commendable service throughout. However, it was disappointing to find that China Southern Airlines does not have a lounge at SFO. Instead, passengers were provided with a $35 per person food voucher, which fell short of expectations. Furthermore, the quality of the onboard food left much to be desired, marking a significant decline compared to our previous flight experience in 2019, prior to the pandemic.

1. I got very poor check in experience with the counter lady . This is the first airline I ever experienced that no combine check in weight allow . Even we have 4 of us but weight counter by piece . So we wasted lot of time argue and repack . This is super crazy 2. Next I left my Samsung tablet on the plane . And I started to escalate and finally spoke to southern airline lost and found in Malaysia and the amazing answer she give is : system nothing found and please try to call southern airline in china 🧐 . I have been flying many other airlines but this is my first encounterment with such irresponsible airline response and no empathy given to customer . My feeling is nobody bother whether how customer like me feel and I’m just too small for the management to take note .

No red vine, no whiskey, no vodka. No that I wanted all of them at once but still...

The food was perfect. The boarding process is a bit long. Given the late boarding time, I felt very tired by the time I was seated.

British airways was horrible. Our flights were affected by the wildfires and British airways told us they would be able to change our flights but it would cost us 1700$ to switch. We ended up finding a regional carrier to fly us out for 500 total. I was not impressed.

No frills flight poor leg room and plane was 30 min late

Comfort in premium economy is worth it for long hauls especially on the 787-9P Dreamliner with the modern updates. The food was okay. All 4 of us selected the same meal, 2 of us had very dry hard to cut chicken, the other 2 were tender and good. The sides/salad/dessert all very good as far as airline food goes. Crew were very attentive. Will be hard to ever go back to regular economy!

The flight attendants were efficient and helpful. The airplane had malfunctioning equipment. Again, as was the case with my previous British Air flights, the USB port did not work. This may seem like a small detail, but in this day and age, it is important to be able to have charged electronics in order to enjoy such a long flight. Please upgrade your cabins!

Crew was great! Food sub-bar, tepid & flavorless. No snack options on trans-atlantic flight. Premium Economy seats ok, leg rest wouldn’t stay in place.

Entertainment system did not function. USB ports did not function. Wi-Fi did not function. Terrible trifecta…

It was very good. The flight was delayed and people that were boarded needed to get off again but overall it was very good.

I will NEVER fly into our out of Charlotte NC again!! My arriving flight there was delayed over 25 minutes sitting on the ground waiting for a plan to leave our gate. This caused me to miss my connecting flight to Chattanooga. When I did get on my connecting flight there was yes another ground crew issue resulting in a 30 minute delay in leaving the airport. Not to mention just 3 people checking passports for incoming flights.. That airport is not worthy of being an international airport and show the US in a VERY poor way.

Flying since the 1970's and this flight had the most enjoyable food not the take it of leave it chicken or pasta selection. A380 superb

One checkin and gate attendant was very nice. Another was just making everyone check their bags and slowing down the boarding too. This was an A310 so good over bin space. Seats kind of weird, cushion sticking up in the back pushing forward

I am very disappointed with the way my seat reservation was handled. My husband and I purchased Business Class tickets and also paid extra to reserve our seats. However, our reserved seats were changed without our consent, and we were assigned different seats, separating us. Since we paid specifically for reserved seats, the airline did not provide the service we purchased. I would therefore like to request a full refund of the seat reservation fees. I would appreciate your prompt response and resolution to this matter. Thank you.

I can't believe you have to pay L 3.20 for a Cup of British tea on an airlines with the name British on the plane.

Long haul flight and was really good. Comfortable plane and seats. Really great service all round and always willing to help. Lovely food and drinks (Tanqueray is my favourite Gin). Media was great and helped for the long journey.

Flight was good but couldn’t sleep because bed was so uncomfortable.

This was the return leg of my trip. Tried to do online check in several times, both on BA App and online but it kept saying " it was not possible, check in at the airport". Got to Airport 3 hours before the flight to be told the flight was overbooked and I was on standby because I hadn't checked in online!!! Was told I could go and wait at the gate in case of a no show but would actually be booked on the next flight in 4 hours. At the gate I did actually get in to the original plane... And had 2 empty seats next to me.. So much for overbooked. To add insult to injury, my baggage did not arrive in LHR and was finally delivered over 24 hours later. I don't travel with BA very often.. This experience will make it even less likely, particularly as my wife had exactly the same issue 2 days later.

I couldn't check in over two days online, had to phone to secure a seat and at the airport they put me on standby, at the gate I had to push to get my seat allocated back to me! No catering, a small bottle of water and a biscuit. Yet business had a full meal and drinks service. Very poor.

Spent unnecessary hours on phone calls to resolve small error on one of the passengers name... It was extremely stressful and time consuming... Not great... Also all 4 members of the family: 2 parents/ 2 teenagers were allocated separate seats (even separate floors... Not great...

Absolutely the best airline for service and comfort by far! I only wish I could fly with them domestically!

Comfortable seats, good service overall. The food could’ve been a little bit better. The boarding process was slightly chaotic and in fairness, not all of that is related to the performance of British Airways.

The chairs were a bit tight even though I had extra feet space…2nd plane didn’t have entertainment and even though they said there was free WiFi-I believe the free WiFi wasn’t accessible unless u had some account set up….which I didn’t figure out
