LATAM is a great airline who takes care of there guests. They consistently walk around and see if you need water in addition to taking care of all the passengers. The chicken in process is really easy and I’m always offered a chance for an upgrade which I appreciate.
There was a mechanical issue with the plane that they had to work on before we could take off. That's fine, by all means, PLEASE make sure the mechanics are functioning properly. What was a problem was the fact that we sat on the tarmac for 4.5 hours without moving, without letting us off the plane, and without climate control and air running through the plane. There was no explanation as to what was going on; they just kept promising that it would be "15 minutes, then we are on our way." At one point, they even switched the entire crew out and told everyone we just needed to wait for new employees to show up. Then, as the 4 hours were not moving, an hour before the full refund, they made a big show about "the flight starting and the doors are locked, so you have to sit down." We didn't move for another 40 minutes; they were just trying to skirt around legalities that entitled us to restitution. When the flight finally was underway, the plane was gigantic but cramped in design, my entertainment screen kept freezing and glitching, and subtitles didn't work, and the crew was passive-aggressive. Terrible flight.
Good flight, boarding ok and crew very nice. Flight was not full so I was able to be very comfortable. Blanket and pillow provided with was good as it was very cold during the flight . Food was very good(small snack sandwich and an excellent piece of orange cake). Overall good flight, no complaints.
Poor, the airline was not able to help me move flights.
Check in -- in business took over 30 mins as there was only one attendant. Boarding was also a mess. The seat was too narrow and was not working properly. Food was very bad and the entertainment very poor. Crew was very polite and helpful, in fairness.
The way the Pilot made all announcements, specially the way he congratulated the entire crew as the best team ever, making a comment that due to them they were able to shorter the delay to the destination. Amazing flight .
Just to drop my already labeled bag it took 50 minutes inline. Completely disappointed with Latam operation at GRU
I’m entitled to a refund per LATAM due to the mid flight itinerary change and being stuck in São Paulo for 24 hours and needing to get a hotel. The airline was dismissive and of no help.
Boarding was confusing with a delayed flight because there was no English translation
Bought a ticket that included a bag and they still charged me to check it in, latam is the worst airline.
I have a hand injury and the flight attendant denied to help me with luggage, she said "she couldn't help me because I should manage my own way to put the luggage on the plane" SO RUDE
I had two around 6 hours flight and they did not even offer water to us.
Overall it was good. The food was not great quality and seats were very uncomfortable. But overall the staff was very friendly and helpful.
Flight on time, check in and flight attendants courteous and helpful. Smaller plane for international flights, tight space, no comfortable.
the boarding staff were incredibly officious. our carry-on case was borderline within dimensions but staff were not prepared to show ANY flexibility even though many others with larger carry-on luggage were allowed to board. we were understandably furious but the staff were incredibly disrespectful. we called the supervisor who eventually agreed to look on board the plane to see if there was room for our case (one case between 2 of us) and reluctantly agreed to allow us on. The staff on board were excellent though and realized we had been treated badly and were very helpful both in finding a place for our case, some distance from our seats, and helping us to retrieve it when we landed. We are regular travelers on Gol and have Diamante status and had chosen the better Conforto + seats, so we expected better treatment from the ground staff. Also the cabins are of a size that will only fit 3 cases of normal size with a large gap of about 30cm of wasted space. If our case were deemed to be oversize, which I dispute, the extra 1cm would not have made the slightest difference.
I did not like the way that baggage fees were charged. When I signed up for the flight, I knew that there were bag fees. However, the bag fees were so confusing that it felt like I was paying for overweight bags rather than just for having brought a bag with me. Also, the bag fees were based on the pair of tickets rather than per person. It seems to me that it should be first bag fee for passenger 1 and then first bag fee for passenger 2. I eventually got away with only paying $100 for two bags, but it was a struggle to understand the process. As for the flight, the seats were the standard uncomfortable seats that are on most Boeing aircraft. The airline aims to accommodate the standard height people, so us tall people are stuck. There was never an option to upgrade for leg room. It did not appear that there were any seats on the whole plane that had a little more leg room to even try to get. Other than that, I completely ignored the food for this red eye flight. I am not one to eat "dinner" at 2 am. They did not offer any drinks in the morning before landing. I recommend that you bring a bottle of water on board.
They are not ready for international flights, poor service and food, no screen info on the seat.
Pretty terrible, was unable to check out of a flight through the app. Could not check in to my flights with the app. Had to call customer service but they were not much help. Nothing on my itinerary said I had to check in with American Airlines when I reached the United States. I almost missed my flight. I had to run to the gate and get dressed in the tunnel. GOL seemed really unorganized at the desks for check in and took a lot longer than other airlines
Gol has an interesting choice of words. When they say “priority access”, this means you’re boarding on the seventh or eighth group.
Great flight however unlike most airlines there is no WiFi and no power outlets. Overall good flight and would fly them again. Just make sure your devices have power and bring your own entertainment.
Let’s be honest. You know you are boarding a flight where the seats don’t recline and you need to pay double the price for bread, gin and water. But beware, they test your tolerance to torture pre boarding. They call all British passport holders. Then tag cabin luggage to be checked. And the ground staff pretend not to know what is happening and just says - please ask the other staff.
It poured rain, our luggage was sitting out in it uncovered on the transport cart while our plane was delayed! Nice business class plane for short flight to Lisbon, but more delay & rain in Lisbon, with terrible Business class seat with no entertainment & cold food on longer flight to London…ALL LUGGAGE AND CLOTHES INSIDE THEM WERE SOAKED THROUGH!!! Could only try with hair dryer to get some drying before quick turn round to train trip.
Menzies group staff not very sympathetic good at breaking up families during the boarding process
There was no warning that they have added passport control after check in, the line was enormous and after 46 mins wait we missed our flight. Were forced to leave the airport and purchase new tickets at full price to board a later flight. TAP were unsympathetic and unhelpful.
Check-in guidance for transfer flight, boarding, in-flight service, seat comfort, etc.
Not much to like. Check-in and bag drop procedures are a crowded, disorganized and confusing mess. Agents were grumpy and unhelpful, somehow expecting passengers to automatically know and understand the airline's procedures. Boarding was chaotic and included a stand-up, sardine-packed bus ride to a stairway pushed up to the aircraft out on the tarmac. Passengers were left waiting in the bus for a lengthy period on both ends. Flight departure and arrival were delayed by passengers scrambling to find space for bags in the overhead storage. Many passengers not in compliance with carry-on rules. Everything you could hate about flying in this ride.
Its a short flight with no entertainment. The food was so so.
Dreadful - queued to get onto a bus, stood for 10 minutes on the bus, drove to the plane, stood for another 25 minutes on the bus outside the plane. When allowed on we could only board from the front & were seated in the furthest row back. The second bus was allowed to board from the back so chaos ensued!. The flight was an hour late - nobody said why, nobody apologised. On arrival at Heathrow we stood for nearly 30 minutes before being allowed off - again with no explanation,
Adequate. You get what you pay for. Absolutely no frills but a cost effective way to travel between European countries.
The airline made last minute changes to our business class seats splitting our family of 4 with young children who had pre-booked a row of 4 seats. The seat was also dirty and sticky. Our pre-ordered child meals were also not available. :(
Flights were delayed and due to a checked hand luggage bag by an overzealous gate agent in Berlin I missed my ground connection costing me another £80. Food was cold and bland, I honestly expect better from a national carrier operating out of one of their major hubs.
A bit more space? Not practical, I know. I felt squished in but part of that could have been the man sitting next to me.
It was my first experience in business class. It was everything I expected and more. Service was impeccable, food was delicious and I felt rested once I arrived to London
Missed our flight to London and we were put on coach seats to Munich.
Seats were terribly uncomfortable! Couldn’t sleep! I paid for good seats when scheduled with Lufthansa, got crappy mid-section seats on Air Canada!
No refreshments apart from a bottle of water. No pillows. No entertainment. Flight delayed by 52 minutes.
The seats are much too narrow and the arm rests are hard and awkwardly high, resulting in shoulder cramps. I am an average sized person ( definitely not overweight). The seats are a similar size to car seats with the added discomfort of incorporating hard plastic arm rests, that force average height individuals (I'm 5 ft 7 (f)) to hold their arms uncomfortably for several hours. The seats are much too close to the ones in front and behind making it extremely difficult to allow fellow passengers to get out, especially when the seat in front is declined. The leg room also necessitates knees banging into passengers backs for the entire flight. This used to be a quality airline who now offer mediocre service for premium cost, coupled with charging exorbitant prices for basic needs, like a seat, or luggage. Blatant and unabashed gouging of clients.
Another 35 min delay landing No apology no communication or acknowledgment about this
Try to humanize onboarding and take AI out. It's embarrassing and useless
Overall good experience. Polite crew. Good foodandentertainment. Seats are small and bit congested though.
It made me feel safe that the crew diligently check our seatbelts. One crew member was so very patient with a passenger in explaining to him why his daughter’s car seat had to be buckled in a certain way. This passenger and his wife were quite argumentative and she maintained her composure brilliantly.
Missing 3 out of 10 checked in bags.Transfers in London and Chicago are chaotic.
Although we paid for pre-assigned seat assignments to sit together, on our flight from LHR to BOS our seats were reassigned at boarding with my 10 year old daughter seated apart from us in an exit row. We were assigned the last boarding group with little overhead space left when boarding. As a result my carryon was at my feet the entire flight making it very cramped.
Work being done at DIA made it difficult to find BA desk.
Food and crew were consistent with a high-end airline. App is on the level of what you’d see for a small regional carrier. I was charged $600 in fees that the gate agent in London assured me I wouldn’t have to pay, additionally, the app charged an upgraded seat choice and then put me in a less expensive seat. No response to emails to BA asking for help with refund. Probably won’t use BA again if I don’t get a response. In the air, BA is a world class airline. On the ground, they seem to operate on the level of a discount airline like Spirit.
The airplane was refreshingly silent in flight than Airbuses, landing was very soft and secure. Food was also warm and light , not a big fan of curry though. Staff was polite, discrete, professional and helpful.
I was booked in Premium Economy and never given a chance to choose to purchase my own seat. Ended up with a middle seat, which was very difficult for me. The airline then left my bag in London so when I arrived in Instanbul it was not there. They delivered it to me the next day but many valuable items had been stolen. I've been flying with BA for years and this was the first time I had such a bizarre and bad experience with them.
They can separate the young children from people who want to have a rest. It had lots of crying and loud noises from the children.
Used to be my "go to" airline but would be my last choice these days. I think some of the cabin crew believe it would be a great job if it wasn't for the customers.
BA once again made it even worse. Crew arrived almost 1 hour late delaying the flight, food (in Business / Club) was simply horrible and our luggages were lost. It is just amazing the effort made by BA to irritate and make the life of its frequent flyers miserable ! Congrats BA !
