Horrible almost missed my flight because my 1st flight was delayed. Airline crew is so unprofessional. The people on the plane do whatever they want kids running screaming. Will never fly this airline again Suitcases never arrived

People point to America as the model of late stage capitalism. My friends, airlines in america at least give you WiFi, and they haven’t quite smashed people into cardboard tv dinner trays yet. Iberia has mastered the tv dinner seat and WiFi is 20 euros. Be serious yall.

Boarding was odd. Gates switched and had to take a bus to the plane. Luggage got lost. Still waiting on one bag. Flight itself was very nice!

Do Not Fly Iberia. Horrible experience. Iberia changes things at random -like the date of the flight and seat you have bought. After buying my flight, they contacted me and told me I had to return a day later. Then when I was boarding the flight, I discovered they had changed my window seat in a row away from the wing, to an aisle seat in front of the toilet! The worse seat on the plane. But it wasn’t just me- a family was scattered all over the plane. I was able to trade my seat because a father was separated from his son. Unfortunately the seat was the window seat directly over the wing, the loudest seat in the plane. I couldn’t sleep, even with noise cancelling earphones. Also, I ordered gluten free meal-which was tasteless and gave me cramps.

I have nothing but great things to say about the crew of the American Airlines flight from Madrid to Dallas. They were fantastic! I do, however, have some disregard for the flight attendant that was late in Dallas, causing us to further delay the boarding of our flight to Portland, and leading to the eventual cancellation of that flight. Because that crew-member was so late, we got caught-up in a weather-related ground stop, eventually causing our pilots to "time-out". So we couldn't get out of Dallas. We would have departed DFW on-time (and before the arrival of the thunderstorm) if not for the lateness of that crew member. The whole time the pilots couldn't tell us whether the flight would be cancelled, and that they couldn't get any information from the airline. By the time we knew the flight was cancelled, all of the flights for the following day were full. So, we didn't even get offered a viable option to get home. The American Airlines customer service desk at DFW was grossly under-staffed. And there were several people who waited in line for four-hours before being helped at that desk. We waited in line for almost 2-hours, until I was able to speak with a customer service agent on the phone (after being on-hold for over an hour). So, once we knew the information about how to get our bag in PDX, and that there weren't any options for flights the next day, we left the line & began searching for another way home. We eventually had to purchase a ticket home on a different airline, in order to get my wife to work on Monday. And we are pursuing a refund of that DFW-PDX leg of the journey. The good news is that the late flight attendant's hair was perfect. And she looked fantastic as she departed the airport & headed back home, while we all hunkered down to sleep in the terminal for the night.

Chair is very high. Your feet cannot touch the ground for 8 hours flight. It was a nightmare. Food was bad.

They need to start flying on time. We lost 2 days of our time because they delayed flight both ways.

The flight delay in Dallas created a domino effect that impacted all of the connecting flights. It also increased the number of connections. I missed my flight from Casablanca to Marrakech because of the tight turnaround when landing in Casablanca. . CMN airport was understaffed. Only one person could help while other employees were just watching him. It was an extremely frustrating situation. People were crying and slamming their palms on the counter when speaking to the customer service provider, Allabough (man’s name?). Allabough couldn’t change my flight in the system. simultaneously, I was on the call with America. Airlines customer service rep named Solomon that said he couldn’t change it either. So, I took a ONYA voyages train to from Casablanca to Marrakech to get there on Friday June 26. This was unpredictable trip.

The flight was over two hours delayed. The aircraft was somewhat dated.

There's not enough leg room in economy class. The seats are very narrow as well.

My experience with British Airways is excellent, thanks for all 🫶🏻✈️

Our luggage arrived 2 days late when we reached Santorini. We were without cloths and toiletries for two days and didn't had time or means to go and shop everything at reasonable cost. Even though, we filed the report immediately at the airport, there was very less communication to us about when we would expected our luggage and even when it arrived there, they didn't had staff to deliver luggage to our hotel, so we had to go to airport to pick it up, which is very difficult and annoying to do in foreign country where you don't have you own vehicle and you don't have time because your tour is packed with activities. They could have tried to expedite the process and kept us informed and deliver the luggage at our hotel. Also, should have given us compensation for it.

Fair, difficult to find the departure gate. Luggage delayed on arrival

Very old aircraft. Seat 15 A & B personal light not working, foot rest broken in 15 A , reclining push buttons required two people to do it. Overall experience was below standard. The same food was served both the times. No snacks in the ally, drink choices very limited. It felt like it was the year 2000. The crew unfriendly, hospitality 4/10.

Friendly on board crew, kept informed on flight. Pre-ordered food arrived as ordered

The crew is very friendly and helpful. The food is good for airplane food. The flight is long and hard to sleep. The leg space is great. The plane arrived in plenty of time.

I would like to recognize a crewmember for her above and beyond service. Her name is Emily Milburn. The flight was delayed for more than a couple of hours, as we sat on the tarmac because of a storm in London. I could not connect to the Wi-Fi, which I needed to do to arrange for my follow up flight back to the US. This young lady told me that her cell phone had reception and offered to provide me connection through her phone. I was beyond impressed. Later on the gentleman sitting next to me, could not connect to the charging portal. Emily came back with her personal auxiliary battery and offered to the other passenger. She certainly needs to be recognized by British Airways for going above and beyond what is expected. She was the ultimate professional and very friendly, and I have to admit that, given the delay, the passengers were not the easiest to deal with.

Both the flight from/to San Diego and London went very well. There were lots of movies from which to choose for entertainment, the food was nice, and the flight departure and landing times were good to minimize jet lag.

They damaged my check in bag and when I filled complaint they gave some minimal amount which is not even sufficient to buy new bag. Vey unhappy with this experience.

Bag drop in Jersey was very long. British Airways could have had more people available to check bags.
