Flight was ok with a great landing. What could have been better would have been sitting away from the lady behind me who was coughing and sneezing all through the flight. I have been ill with a very bad cold ever since and can only put it down to being sat in front of that lady!

I liked boarding the crew were excellent but the seats are too close together for such a long flight.
Boarding went well, seats could have been a little more comfortable
The plane was late in so we were late leaving. The plane had been cleaned and was tidy, the staff were welcoming. Our standard seat had good legroom but after an hour or so of sitting, the Seat started to feel uncomfortable. We didn’t have any food so can’t comment on that and there was no entertainment available. We did buy some duty-free goods and the prices are good. We made up the lost time and landed slightly early.
We waited about an hour outside the aerport building after boarding by the gate waiting to board the plane. the plane wasnt there yet.... It was freezing, 8 degree Celsius, barely chairs to sit, no staff to ask question, no screen with information.... The plane arrived, after about forty fives minutes wait there, and until it was emptied, passengers, suitcases.... only then we allowed on board. there was there babies, and older people, besides of the rest of the passengers. it took me over an hour to recover from the freeze. It was a disaster. I don't understand how the airport crew decided to do boarding by the gate forty five minutes before the plane landed. would love to hear a reply from you. i will send this message to PAPHOS INTL AIRPORT as well.
Boarding lanes should have been better organised..as it always becomes a free for all..
Flight was first class Experience at Edinburgh Airport was appalling
The flight was first class the experience on landing in Edinburgh was not Crammed into a bus and held on tarmac for 15 minutes followed by just under 1 hour to clear passport control Only one flight at that time Disappointing!!!
Left on time arrived early first class ground and air crew
The flight was delayed over 2 hours, we should off left the plane2 late passengers as it’s not fair on everyone who’s followed the rules.
Dreamliner. Yes great if maintained. I didn't see anyones screen work consistently during either of our flights. Worse was their ability to not only dump you out of premium but separate couples and seat someone's carer at the opposite end of the aircraft. This poor gentleman had no hand so his partner who assists him, being seated at the other end of the aircraft, well that really showed us all what Tui think :( It was fairly dire all in all, they advertise all the perks of the dreamliner only in reality you don't have the features and they change the windows and colours to suit their constant sales pitches. Ironically they were so low on stock for the return flight that all their sales pitches were a waste of time! Their contract only favours them and 'operational changes' well they cover every excuse and Tui use it. Surprisingly we haven't reinstalled the Tui app or booked with them since. It's a shame as I rated them highly during the pandemic.
One flight attendant not wearing a mask over nose, 50% of passengers not either, and no effort to correct. Boarding was very late with no information - lots of standing around waiting.
It’s such a short flight with so many people it’s hard to see the positives. I have so much more to write about the next flight to Pittsburgh
Excellent special assistance. Nice touch with the morning pastry. All in all excellent
Lost all of our luggage. Departed late. Sat on the tarmac for an hour. Missed our connection in Heathrow. Stood in line at BA customer service with several hundred other stranded travelers who missed BA connections & at 3pm they close the customer service window just before we reach it in line & send the employees home & offer us no new flight, no accommodations & no new information. I thought there was going to be a riot. Hundreds of wary travelers stranded, many without luggage, & no direction. Some were given a £10 food voucher to use after they passed security (with/without their luggage) because that was the only place they could eat there. All but one of the local hotels were fully booked, the most expensive one. £25 for a short taxi ride & hundreds of pounds for the hotel. A 9.5 hour direct flight home became a 36 hour debacle including 5 scheduled & 3 missed flights. One BA that my legs didn’t fit in the seat. One BA plane with a broken seat & entertainment console & no way to charge my phone, which I needed to transfer to the next flight with flight info. BA employees continued to lie to our faces & shuffle us from line to line, & then just walk away from their work stations. I’ve traveled a lot in my professional career. This was criminal corporate behavior at best.
the flight was cancelled, then I lost the connection and my purchased chair with extra space as well.
They put us on budget airline Wamos for 9hr flight with no entertainment and very small seats
