I bought tickets that were supposed to be flexible, but when I needed to change the flight time- the manage button was greyed out forcing me to call customer service. It took 3 calls, because I was on hold for over two hours each and couldn't stay on the line, to get this resolved. I finally did but not without some aggravation at being told to visit the website/app while on hold.
Truly loved the experience. The older I get the more I appreciate the benefits of upgrading. 14 hours in the air and able to hit the ground running.
The flight was fine. Long wait at security and for wheelchair. Got to gate about 5 minutes before boarding
Crew was great. The crew that came on in Montreal helped us look for a lost passport and could not have been nicer. Our only problem was boarding in Barcelona but was due to airport issue. Not enough staff to get wheelchair passengers to gates.
Wonderful experience. Long distance travel is never easy but this flight was a treat. Flight crew was very attentive and friendly
For me and my wife was wonderful everything perfectly, Tankyou.
The best thing about the flight was the cabin crews in the business class. The young Asian lady was just fantastic!
Awful, I was bumped from my buisness class seat because the airline decided to forfeit my seat to a pilot and stick me in the very back of the plane. My flight was delayed by an hour, boarding took an extra 30 minutes longer then it should have, and the in flight entertainment system was broken for my entire flight. I have yet to hear from Air Canada with regards to a refund for my ticket so in total I'm down about $1400 dollars for my tickets. Moving forward if I can avoid using Air Canada in the future I will be doing so even if it costs me extra money.
Flight was late missed our connection to Indianapolis no hotel rooms really difficult finding a room hope to be in Indianapolis one day late and multiple flights to even get there.
Boarding was terrible. We paid for business class tickets, which would give us “Zone 1” boarding. This should happen before the zones for premium economy and economy passengers start to board. However, the gate agents at Heathrow only had “Zone 1” boarding for about 45 seconds before moving on to allowe “Zone 2” and “Zone 3” to start boarding. We still weren’t through the line to board and many passengers from zones 2 & 3 pushed ahead of us to board (it was a completely full flight). When we finally did get on the plane, there were no overhead storage compartments for rows one or two in business. Apparently this is the way that Boeing 787 planes are designed, which is frustrating to pay thousands more dollars for a ticket and then find out that there is no space to store your carry on. Finally, we got food poisoning from the sandwiches and scones with clotted cream that were served in business class. Barely was able to get home to our condo in Toronto after the flight before suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. What was supposed to be a splurge on the end of our vacation in business class instead turned into a nightmare and the absolute worst way to end a trip.
Poor service. Check in person at the COUNTER was ruthless and threaten to call police instead to look for better plan or actions. VERY MANERLESS lady. KICKED US OUT OF OUR RESERVATIONS. ABSURD
There was very little premium experience. The check in was awful with a 40 minute line and service making me feel like I was putting them out. The lounge and gate experience was scattered and not well organized. the only good thing was the seat. Food was bland and barely edible. Overall I found it wasn't premium at all rather a cheap low class experience.
The seat configuration was insane. Horrible. Had to jump over sleeping people to go the bathroom. The food was the best we’ve had in any Business class.
Our plane was delayed for an hour because they had the wrong tow truck that pulls the plane out of the gate. An hour late just to find the right vehicle that pushes the plane out of the gate area! The delay made us barely make our connecting flight but of course our luggage didn’t make it. So no luggage when we arrived at our destination.
Best: Flight attendants. Worst: Bags took forever to receive at LAX despite being tagged Priority - at least a 35 minute wait.
Horrible! We departed out of terminal 5, not only was the sign for flights and gate information were so badly organized that it took 2 minutes for all of the flight info load for the correct airline. One would think BA would have new and well managed jet ways, but no you had to take a bus to the plane. It took for every and detailed departure by 40 mins. I’ve had better class of service from Indian Airlines. BA needs to work on upscaling to meet the Industry norms. I can see regional airlines using this loading method but not on an international flight.
Plane features were VERY old and outdated. footrest cushion was completely lose, plane felt dirty and a bit grimy. i was in business class. the lead flight attendant, Mary made a few announcements that didn't seem to put the cabin at ease (it didn't necessarily bother me, but could have bothered others). she said "the seat cushions aren't FDA approved, so you have to put them on after we take flight." everyone had already applied the seat cushions, and saying something isn't approved for flight may cause alarm. she also said at one point over the announcement ... "we can't get up because we are too afraid of the jet stream impacts" -- again, not helpful to those who are nervous fliers.
The seat when "flat" was not flat and pad was too thin to cover it.
The flight attendant use 1.5 hours to answer my call. My dirty food tray was unattended.
The business class seats are dated and uncomfortable. The space is bare minimum and there is absolutely no privacy. For $4K, this is not what I expect.
My inflight entertainment unit was not working. The chair compartments were broken. The suite door would not latch. Given the cost of the total ticket, I was extremely disappointed in the service. The flight crew was not very helpful.
The boarding area was crowded with inadequate seating. Flight delayed which made it uncomfortable.
My baggage (1) didn’t arrive with me. I am waiting for it.
Very timly. Great service !!! Pick up after meals can be swifter.
need more US friendly food options. Directions on getting to the next gate were terrible - resulted in long walks to the terminal and then finding I couldn;t enter there and had long walk back, then train to security then train back to where I started in the first place
Wonderful service and comfort. Attentive and careful. The food was also better than US carriers. Highly recommend
I didn’t take that flight. My original flight was cancelled from Los Angeles. They rebooked me following day through Montreal My flight was LAX to YUL and YUL GVA
I have a walker I need it to get from the plane to customs and baggage claim. It had a huge orange tag on it saying it should be given to me as I got off the plane. It was not and the flight staff didn’t know where it was—both on my flight to London and on the return. In It was very frustrating
Had a plane! Have a plan! Have my luggage! 10 hours of travel turned into 50 hours. Good Lord!
I like the space, but if I had a window seat would be a lot more comort .
