If you are easily cold, dress warm. The plane's temperature is set really cold.

Before you collect your luggage at the airport make sure that you check at least two carousels. I spent 40 minutes waiting for my baggage only to realize that it was in the second carousel.

None really. It’s a long, but straight forward flight. If you can afford premium economy or better, do it for the comfort.

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

We had a good flight experience with this airline despite reading many negative comments

The plane was ok, I was in business class and was surprised there were no pods and each seat was right next to another one. That said it was comfortable and the food and coffee were good. Entertainment wise again I was surprised to see only movies and no TV shows. Check-in at Toronto Pearson was an absolute disaster, which was especially disappointing as I was a business class passenger. There was no dedicated staffing for the business counter and four (4) airlines employees assisted one economy class passenger for about 15 minutes when one could have easily assisted me. Overall room for improvement, particularly in the on-ground experience and airplane infrastructure.

Delay not posted, only departure time listed- not boarding time. We left an hour late and arrived 45 min late. Restrooms had backed up sinks and toilets not flushed ) passenger error). Lots of screen for entertainment didn’t work. But we arrived with our luggage

The plane was old and the luggage racks above us were visibly shaking during turbulence. Water was dripping on our heads during landing. Our flight was over 2 hours late departing but we were not updated or told what to expect as the screen at the gate continued to read “on time”

I had a memorable experience. I dont have any comments at this time regarding waht could be better.

The crew was not helping us in the airports ..Very bad experience..the washrooms are not meeting the expectations..need more good service... The hotel service was good but there is a very long wait time which wasted time to go through..

My recent experience with ASKY Airlines was disappointing. The check-in process was disorganized, and I was provided with inaccurate information regarding baggage requirements, resulting in unforeseen expenses. Additionally, the ground staff demonstrated a lack of professionalism and appeared insufficiently trained to handle passenger needs effectively. Regrettably, this initial encounter has left me reluctant to consider future travel with the airline.

The food was terrible and the seating was uncomfortable, but the airline did a great thing letting us board in Abbis Ababa on our connecting flight after our original flight was very delayed.

Delays delays making us miss or next connection to IAD hence having to stay additional 24 hrs in Addis Ababa

It was an old aircraft, stiff seats almost wooden chairs with thin cushions. Food was ok.

This review if for American Airlines. From London to LA, British Airways customers flew American Airlines and there was a small incident on the plane with a customer that was sitting next to me. She had a gluten free meal which she selected online. The flight attendant brought her food and both times, it contained gluten (bread, cracker) and by the second time, the customer mentioned about the issue to the flight attendant because she is highly allergic to gluten. Customer was very gentle and just wanted to note that both her meals contained gluten on the tray. The whole situation could have ended really well if flight attendant just apologized and mentioned she would relay the message to the responsible party. Instead, she entered defensive mode and started making some BS excuse about how the cracker that was supposed to be mine, fell onto her tray instead. Mind me, I already had that cracker on my tray. I doubt I would be given two. Also, she mentioned that the bread from the previous meal was gluten free. REALLY? I ate that bread and it tasted like it had PLENTY of gluten. The whole situation was handled so poorly, not only by that one flight attendant, but by 2 others. The reason I intervened is because the customer sitting next to me was tearing and all she did was mention the mistake which could have cause her health great damage, and instead she received attacks and excuses. AA, you should train your employees how to better handle situations like this. A 'well, I don't see why this problem is a big deal since you (the customer with allergies) read the ingredients and avoided eating the cracker that "accidentally fell" from the tray of the customer sitting next to you,' should not have been coming out of a flight attendant's mouth.

Continue to be disappointed that the “food” for “ordinary” fare paying passengers is poor - on this flight it consisted of a packet of two biscuits and a small bottle of water … not even offered a “free” cup of tea or coffee. Suggest a review of the “menu” and offer a hot drink to ordinary (economy class) passengers. On this route there are many far cheaper flights available - paying almost £200 for a flight that could have been bought for less than half this price should have some “perks” - offering hot drinks to all passengers would, in my opinion, be a cost effective measure which would improve the image of British Airways.

Aircraft was comfortable even in economy, clean. Entertainment screens were excellent and. Hoice was very good. Good was just ok. Crew was not bad.

Entertainment system didn't work well. Also no new movies and limited choice of other programmes. . And only one USB A charger option. Most modern electronic items needs USB C. Planes should offer both

I was unable to board the flight because I was unable to acquire a visa , Brexit changed my ability to get an ETA, I’m a Trinidad citizen and it takes weeks to get a visa

The issue was not with BA it was with the link yoiu sent fopr booking the flight

The space in the seat was okay, the staff were friendly, the entertainment system, my touch screen was not working and some of the films listed on the website for the flight were not available.

BA flight from London NY had old BC configuration with 2+3+2 seating with open seats which was not comfortable and lacked privacy

Flew business- but plane was dirty, food horrendous. Too many business class seats diluted service levels overall.

Loved the boarding option from Business class lounge, experience on flight was excellent, plenty of good food choices

Food quality was low for business class. No snacks between meals. Very confusing “One World” participation. This airline seems to be part of the program but doesn’t recognize the benefits to customers (luggage allowance)???

Due to the operational delay with Southwest, I missed my connecting flight in New York. Southwest rebooked me with Turkish. Southwest paid for my accommodation in NY, but did not provide food at the hotel. I ended up spending 34 dollars on my dinner. Moreover, in Istanbul, where I transited, I had more than 10 hours of layover without access to the Turkish Lounge. I spent 117 USD to have access to the Yotel cabin for only 4 hours of rest and recuperation from jet lag. This was the most painful trip I have ever had in my life.

Cancellation was really bad no organizations at all and I want to choose a direct flight for the 18 January counter agent does not allowed me no even to speak was rude I was forced to got a third world country flight

There is nothing Royal about Royal Air Maroc. Old planes, poor service, no entertainment and not one of my 4 flights was on time.

Good! except for the in-flight announcement which was very poor. The flight attendant was inaudible with her english language throughout the flight. Her communication was bad, very bad. I could not fantom what she was saying in english and she was very fast you could hardly hear or understand what she was communicating. She needs to improve. Thx

Improve food quality and clean the seat . Bathrooms not clean

I had pre booked gluten free as a meal preference. Nothing of that was considered during my flight. The attendant said he had no idea and would check but never returned with a response. I did not eat anything that flight and was super hungry

Stay away at all cost! Late boarding, late departure, inoperable seat controls and entertainment screens, very rude cabin crew,

The flight itself was fine. The flight was delayed for nearly 10 hours and there was inconsistent communication about why it was delayed.

My luggage did not arrive yet, it been 4 days without any information

They should have better communication and dealings with their customer when their flight is delayed or canceled.

It was a nightmare of an experience. The station manager was very unprofessional dealing with an over 5 hour delay and even boarding the flight was a nightmare with 3 plane loads of passengers on other cancelled flights trying to push and shove to get in the one i boarded.

Smooth process. No delay. Need to improve the AC during boarding.
