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
Pros: "Crew was attentive"
Cons: "The seats are awfully tight and no padding The plane was delayed for almost 3 hours while we were on it because of some air conditioning issue"
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.
Cons: "Boarding down the rain and cold morning was not oaky"
Pros: "Flight was on time and well managed. Nicer than Ryanair but limited facilities as this is a charter airline. No video or seat bag nets for example."
Cons: "Limited features on board."
Pros: "Easy check in and great in-flight service. Nice to have a full meal and bar service."
Cons: "Slightly delayed, but nothing much."
Cons: "Still sitting in the San Francisco airport With some luck l will be in Minneapolis by midnight"
Pros: "Easy boarding with no wait time, very straightforward transfers to hotels on arrival with Thomson organised coaches."
Cons: "Very small and confined seats led to an uncomfortable flight. Cabin crew were not attentive."
Pros: "It took me to Zante"
Cons: "We checked in online but still had to wait 45 just to drop our bags. waiting for an hour on the plane before take off. The captain not giving accurate timings. Circling so many times before landing I was nearly sick. And a very hard landing so much so I hit my head on the seat in front of me."
Pros: "1)I like the leg room in economy. 2) the bathrooms allow for a lot of headroom when compared to some airlines. 3)the affordability of the flights when compared to other long haul airlines"
Cons: "1) Boarding was late (seems to be a regular occurrence) and as a result the flight was delayed. 2)They have a habit of over booking seats. 3)There's no onboard wifi. For such a new jet in these modern times, I'd expect that such amenities would be a standard. 4) The online checkin is a bit dodgy; i had to keep refreshing the page- not very comforting. 5) Somehow having a one way ticket back to my HOME country (barbados) was deemed as an anomaly at the checkin desk at Gatwick. Ended up waiting for about 30 minutes at the checkin desk waiting for my boarding pass to be approved- absolute madness"
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.
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "No ability to secure seats online despite Aer Lingus stating on line that you can choose seats up to 72 hours prior to the fight. Terrible customer service cramped planes food not great! 72"
Pros: "Easy on boarding"
Cons: "Staff were reluctant to serve us extra drinks. Asked for 2 miniature bottles of wine as they are so small. Told that customers were only allowed one. Bought some later though although the staff weren’t keen"
Pros: "A quiet flight. Low season and with a BA flight to the same destination10 minutes before our one departed, this resulted in a near empty plane. Perfect."
Cons: "I have to say, the coffee on offer is disgusting. I would certainly look in to changing that."
Pros: "Good legroom, comfortable seat and great entertainment to keep me occupied for the 10 plus hours."
Cons: "Security at Heathrow -slow!!!"
Pros: "they got me to LA"
Cons: "food and drink not served for 2 h ours / flight delayed 1hr 45 mins, no choice of meal it was a take it or leave it offer, ice lolly served 2 hours after food and horrid snack before landing - on a 10.5 hour flight not good enough, I will consider another airline next time I go. 3 trips a yr"
Cons: "Once again BA lost my luggage from my connecting flight. Twice in a week and a half."
Pros: "Good crew; no more or less better seating than other airlines we have used to the UK."
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
Pros: "Nothing"
Cons: "Very poor service and staff attention...the food is horrible, even worse than Ryanair, Easyjet, etc..."
Pros: "Crew was friendly."
Cons: "Couldn't find out online which gate my flight was leaving from. Long bus ride from jetway to plane. No in-flight entertainment, uncomfortable seats."
Cons: "Flight was bit chilly, though that’s better than being stuffy"
Cons: "Need more than 2 beverage services in 8 hour flight. Need air flow control at seat."
Cons: "One of the best flights is had. Love A340 and the crew and service definitely better than AA or BA by far."
Pros: "La puntualidad de los vuelos"
Cons: "Compre mis tickets por iberia y me mandaron a AA sin derecho a maletas ni poder elegir mis seats"
Cons: "We were charged 100 Euros extra as they indicated the 2 pieces laugage was not included. They didn't respect the seats that where assigned in the reservation claiming we jus reserved the sits but didng pay for them."
Cons: "No hay distraccion ni almimentacion,. El vuelo era largo de 2:45 h y siendo iberia pense que seria mucho mejor que ineria express"
Pros: "Loved everything! Including the food."
Cons: "I’m not sure if there was WiFi, i wished that would’ve been advertised. If possible can you advertise the drinks and snacks selections. I booked my flight with Lufthansa but it was operated by another company which made it difficult to find"
Pros: "Seat reclined far back"
Cons: "Entertainment limited, esp. when you consider passengers may have two or more legs on Brussels Airlines flights Boarding chaotic Some of the crew were rude/ dismissive of African or African-presenting passengers No blankets were passed out, despite the cold temperature on the plane. My bag was lost"
Pros: "Crew was friendly, seats were ok"
Cons: "Flight was delayed for almost 2 hours, there was no explanation, just an apology."
Pros: "On board service and entertainment. The plane itself was clean and comfortable."
Cons: "The check in process was slow and inefficient. One of our bags was routed on another flight (we’re still waiting for it). Ridiculous amount charged for chech in luggage for an international flight!"
Pros: "Crew were helpful."
Cons: "I had asked for a Muslim.mealor a vegetarian but there wasn't anything so I had only cheese and fruits which was a disappointment"
Pros: "Pleasant staff. Comfortable plane. Second leg from Brussels to Frankfurt was great."
Cons: "Check in at Manchester was a joke. No signage for Brussels Airlines to start with and no one to help. Long queue, over 1½ hours to drop a bag after checking in on line. Every other airline was way faster. Thankfully, security was relatively quick."
Pros: "The flight attendant was very quick to meet any needs big or small."
Cons: "Still extremely unhappy about my broken item."
Cons: "Despite the fact that I reserved a window seat, I was assigned a seat in the middle of the center row. They also 'sanitized' the airplane twice after that closed the doors before take off. They walked up and down the aisle with aerosol spray cans. I don't think people should be subject to unknown chemicals in order for the airline to save time on cleaning the cabin before take off."
Pros: "Worst business class seats. Regular seats with no one in the middle seat."
Pros: "They have the funniest and engaging safety video I have ever seen"
