Food and entertainment were not available, so my rating on those items isn't actually correct. There should be a "Not relevant" or "Didn't use it" option.
The flight boarded nice and early and this meant there was no sudden rush at the gate. The only down side was the cabin was very cold 🥶
Flying from Hamburg to Stansted was a nightmare if I have to be honest, the flight was due to leave at 15:50 and we ended up not taking off properly till 16:56. They really don’t have enough people doing the sorting of baggage where you get the sticker for your case before the security check, going through security was 10x more faster then the whole baggage situation.
Unnecessarily delayed and remarkably inefficient boarding contributed to a significantly delayed departure. Seats/legroom astonishingly uncomfortable even by Ryanair standards (minimal legroom plus reinforced plastic seat backs ensure you get punched hard in the knees every time the person in front moves, and as a 6-foot passenger I had nowhere else to put my legs. Upon late arrival at the gate in Luton we were kept waiting another 20 minutes before being allowed off the plane. Both Easyjet and Wizzair are currently a better bet.
Big delay on run way not much explanation why, missed a important meeting in Dublin, maybe if they did nt persist measuring everyone bag over 2 cm we would have got off on time.
The lady at the boarding gate was so rude. She was challenging people being in priority and looking them up and down as if they weren’t dressed for first class. This was Ryan air priority. We all sit in the same seats. She loudly called out to embarrass a man who she believed had cheated and got in the priority line. He had a valid priority ticket and even worked for Ryanair. Also challenging visas insisting people download them until they proved on the government website it wasn’t required to print. The Ryanair employee who was challenged said she is always like this. She also pulled people from regular boarding as they were fashionably dressed and upgraded them to priority and changed their seats. That was comical. I think she felt she should be working for Emirates first class, although they would t have stood for her rude behaviour
expedite passengers through passport control when the airport authorities are processing inefficiently.
Be on time and staff on airport could be a bit more nicest
The flight departed and arrived on time. A member of the staff at the gate was awful. She asked me to get the duty free purchases out of the hand luggage to see if it would fit inside their box, which it did. It was the embarrassment in front of the other passengers and the hassle of getting my stuff out of the bag and back in again that was totally unnecessary. They try to squeeze every single euro they can get out of their passengers. The seats were uncomfortable with little space in between them. The flight was quite noisy with lots of announcements trying to sell food, drinks, gifts and souvenirs etc.
Left on time and arrived on time both ways, thank you
The workers checking passengers from the boarding gate stole money from people whose luggage was perfectly fitting inside the carry-on sizer.
Whole way through - far more professional and slick than I expected
Good news was that Bag Check was open two and a half hours before the flight, which is essential with the chaotic immigration process. Flight was okay, but sitting at the back of the aircraft, 3 overhead bins on both sides were filled with crew bags and other misc items, so we couldn't put our cabin bags anywhere near us. To add insult, twice the crew managed to drop items that they were taking out of the overhead bins onto my wife's head, who was sitting in an aisle seat.
You need to make signage at Berlin Airport clearer. Having checked in online we had our boarding passes onlour phones. You do not make it clear that you need to check in again to receive a printed luggage tag. You get to baggage drop off and it says you can only do it with a luggage tag BUT not how to get this.
It was good except they could offer free water and tea/coffe
Sat at rear of aircraft and was very cold. As a frequent flyer for many years, this is was the coldest I have ever been. Other passengers and some crew were complaining how cold it was. Sitting near the doors always risks being colder, just the way the aircraft works - but this was exceptional, bring a good jumper. Everything else was pretty standard easyJet - good value low cost carrier.
The plane was postponed for over 2.5 hours, which meant that all four of us missed the check in time for our ongoing trip to Melbourne. We had to buy new tickets for 4 people as we had to forfeit the ones we had. The cost was really unfair. i understand that it was snowing during the first leg of the plane for that morning. Surely the cost could have been shared by the airline and not all by us. I could have bought insurance - but you can see how much I travel. I will need to chose more trustworthy airlines.
The true is that travel from London to Faro on 11/12/2025 by BA was cancelled, so I did not go to Faro, so i did not board easy flight. The mediocre qualification to you was because even when i bought an insurance, i could not change date neither obtain reimbursement. It could be ideal if you do something in order for me not to lose the purchase Thank you
Queuing for quite a while despite using the "speedy boarding".
First -the flight was late - more than two hours Second, not even a bottle of water at bord to give for free for this inconvenience. Three-at landing ive realised that I've lost one of my ear plug headphones and been very desperate to find it with my torch, the crew not helped at all more than that they asked to leave the plane as everyone did before me. This was the last flight from that day- extra 5 min for me with a bit of help from crew - would have bring a super review. I guess this days humanity disappeared!
Poor experience overall. The British Airways check in and bag drop at Palma de Mallorca was horrendous, took 1.5 hours to get through the queue. The plane air-con was dripping on me the whole flight and at times hailing small ice balls. Staff did not help at all.
Disastrous. Creeping delays and cancelations. A routine 2-1/2 hour flight turned into a 12 hour nightmare and getting dumped at London Southend at 11pm instead of at London City. This required a £150 Uber ride to East London at 1am. We lost an entire day.
Service and food was amazing. Aircraft configuration is weird - stare at a stranger at take off and landing, during flight someone is crawling over your seat. It was lame.
The flight attendant does not pay attention to my "call" button more than 3 times when I need a drink.
I loved the food choices and the attentiveness of the crew but boarding was chaotic.
Old plane, sold out on snacks, just trashy seats..broken..etc
I liked the movie selection and the speed getting the luggage. I did not like the fact that for premium they did not have a personal kit with toothpaste, I travel all the time in premium economy and bussiness and althought the kit might bot be the same at least you have the smalles kit in premium economy. I did not like either that because i was in the last row of premium economy nothing made it to my seat. They run out of the food I wanted ( it is a surprise because there were only 6-7 rows. They would run out of orange jouice were thy were passing water/orange juice around, they run out of some alcohol. I am undertand running out of it but I don’t understand why mot getting kore. The service I received in row 11 was different from the service in rows 7,8…. Also the screen on my tv was broken. It did not respond to touch. So, in conclusion, if I compare my flight going to Europe with an American airline plane in premium and the one with British, British expereince was significantly much worse. This company is declining fast.
I don’t think you’ll like the shoulder require people to pay to reserve seats. Also for the people in the bulkhead row the luggage locker nearest to their seats should be vacant. Both sides were filled with crew or airport items.
Awful. Flight was late. Follow flights cancelled. No person at the British airways counter for hotel voucher. Awful service.
Staff at check in and on the flight were great, no issues. Check in was slow, massive queues, badly/incorrectly listed on the information boards. Lots of confusion and irritation. At least 3 different flights (Southampton, Heathrow and Edinburgh) we're being forced through 2 check in terminals, hence the queue. Plane wasn't cleaned and crisps littered the floor. Chewing gum was stuck inside the seat pocket so unusable. £3 for a black coffee on the plane was a joke. Even at easyJet, you can get a proper coffee for that but none available on the BA flight. Plane was delayed by over an hour, possibly nothing to do with BA but it added to the poor experience. Luggage took 45 minutes to come through on the reclaim belt. Again may not be BA issue but unless they and other airlines deal with these issues on our behalf, they'll get the bad reviews. Overall, not a good days travelling.
