Airport closed until 8 PM. We had to wait to enter. KlLM 107 birthday so there was an unexplained ceremony for flight staff which delayed boarding. Flight was comfortable in business class but didn't have pods.
25 mins late. The flight attendants were chatting and laughing loudly at the rear, which was rather unpleasant.
The flight was excellent, the crew was super friendly. The only complaint I have is, 3 of my zipper handles were broken and there were 2 massive scratches on the back of my bag
As per usual when you Hit the UK it's a slow process through customs Not as efficient at Thailand for sure
Empty seats next to me - wish it had been for a longer flight!!
KLM remains a quality flag carrier airline which maintains its standards whilst all their competitors are lowering theirs.
Cabin crew professional, polite and friendly, boarding was seemless, but come on KLM surely you can do better than a pack of cheesy biscuits as an inflight snack
There was fog in Amsterdam so many flights were delayed because of the weather. Air France knew that the flight would be delayed by two hours but still boarded the plane on time. Instead of letting the passengers wait at the gate we were crammed into the plane. It was uncomfortable. No refreshments were given. I couldn’t charge my devices onboard.
The plane. Airbus A330-200. Comfortable for a 7-hour flight. Seats seemed to have more legroom. I was in row 17. Flight was operated by Delta but was better than expected.
The food quality is poor. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The entertainment program was limited. I experienced a delay of 30 minutes due to two issues. Passenger luggage had to be removed and there was a technical issue with the stairs not detaching from the aircraft. The pilot managed to compensate and we arrived only 15 minutes later. The luggage at Dubai airport was very slow. I waited over an hour.
The flight itself was ok but delayed take off meant that service was also delayed once in the air and it was a long time before the lights in the cabin were turned off. The food was pretty poor, which was disappointing for Virgin. Particularly breakfast which was a dry bagel with a pot of cream cheese. Economy sears were not comfortable despite us handing 3 seats between the two of us, I was unable to get comfortable and sleep. The entertainment was brilliant with a great selection and a very welcome addition was free high speed internet access for flying club members meaning I could stream video whilst in the air.
Food was okay. Seats were a bit cramped. In flight entertainment headphone socket didn't work on my seat. Wifi was great, so I was able to stream on my iPad
Selection of movies didn't include recent box office hits. Food was average not great. English sparkling wine is not drinkable. Otherwise, everything was great.
Check in at the desk was very slow pus Security, although not Virgin issue at JFK was a nightmare. 50 minuet wait no time to explore airport and get last minuet gifts. total wait 1.5hours
Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india
Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable
I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶 🏼
Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.
Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated
The crew was excellent as ever on Virgin. The special meal was poor unfortunately. More significantly when we arrived at Manchester Airport there was no air bridge provided and we had to exit the plane down a rickety stair case. This is unacceptable for a transatlantic flight. Whilst I understand that this is the airport’s fault at the end of the day the airline is responsible for our transportation and needs to do something.
Very quick flight, efficient boarding, and clear and thorough instructions and attention from staff.
The flight from Dublin to London was short but they charged for any food or beverage. I have never paid for anything except alcohol on a flight before so imagine my shock at being charged nearly 4 pounds for a cup of tea. I once took an hour and a half flight (different airline) within South Africa and was served a complimentary dinner. It’s minor things like this that might make me hesitant to choose Aer Lingus over another similarly priced airline.
Excellent cabin crew. They helped a number of passengers with mobility challenges and a mother with a 3 year old and an infant. Better than most other airlines by far. Well done Eduardo!
Good, I slept the entire flight so I cannot add many inflight details
Air Lingus was in no hurry to get us on the plane as sat at the gate a long time before they boarded us. Then they leave us on the tarmac for an hour. They were no help to let me know what I needed to do to get home. I had to navigate London Heathrow with 0 help from them.
There was a 6h delay with limited updates . When we got to Manchester the bus took ages to get to arrivals and we missed our train, dinner reservation. Basically lost a whole day due to arrivals Lingus!!
Great. Has a problem with DOB. Fixed 4 us. Led to a 5 hour earlier flight to London!
My flights with Aer Lingus were very good and I will definitely fly with them. Again in future trips to Ireland and Scotland.
At check-in the unmanned machines said QR code was invalid so had to queue for over an hour to check in bags
Friendly crew who apologised and explained reason for delay. Good on board service. Rather cramped seating. Late departure.
In business class: no amenities or amenity bag on one flight, WiFi didn’t work on another flight, electrical on another flight didn’t work. Inconsistencies were rampant and all very bad. I doubt I’ll fly British Airways again.
Poor quality service and miserable. I will think 3-5 times to book my ticket with the airlines for my future trips.
My overall experience with British Airways was good. The cabin crew were friendly and helpful, and the flight was comfortable. The food was average and could be improved, but overall, I had a pleasant experience.
The worst seat in any business class. Food are worst then economy class.
We did not fly on American Airlines from Chicago to London. We were rebooked on British Airways (by American Airlines) and our luggage was left behind. A full day delay and lost luggage.
I had to buy another ticket and you haven't reimburse me for it.
It didn’t happen as we were late for it due to BA flight being over one hour 15 minutes late taking off.
Flight delayed 6 hours. Would mean I would miss My connections to Glasgow and my reason for going back. AA staff were completely useless in figuring out how to re ok me. My wife 200 miles away was on kayak offering suggestions. Also NO alerts from AA by phone or text about this delay. Just a $12 voucher for compensation. I ended up on BA
Staff in first class seemed to struggle to provide service to both sections. I didn’t get breakfast though I requested it. I only got coffee after asking the opposite side flight attendant and then could never see them to request a bottle of water.
On time flight , great service from crew , comfortable and enjoyable
The seats often do not function - in the premium economy the seat does not lean back. The passenger in front of me decided to come and sit next to me on his own volition because his seat was not leaning back.
The sitting for business class was very poor. It was cramped. Some of the seats were defective and could not be kept perfectly upright. If the passenger in front reclined, the passenger behind was trapped in a narrow space. I would consider other airways in the future.
Disappointed as we discovered when checking in at the airport 6hrs before the flight was scheduled, that we had been offloaded onto standby after having purchased these tickets months in advance. We had tried checking in online the night before but were unable to. BA had obviously over sold the seats, and we were told they couldn't confirm we could get on the flight until check in closed. Eventually we did get on but were not seated together. That was a bit of stress we just didn't need.
My flight from Athens to London was delayed 30 minutes. I got automatically booked on a different flight before the plane landed. However, I never received any notification about the new booking so I had zero knowledge about the flight number or even where to go. Checking in: it was absolutely impossible to check in for my flight online. I literally had to call British Airways to check in for my flight and select a seat. It was very inconvenient and a bit stressful.
I ordered a drink, but never got it. I ask what type of drinks they had and they could not tell me and there was not printed copy that I could find that is usually on most airplanes. They served dinner and never walk back to see if any need a drink or anything afterwards until they served the snack just before landing.
Check-in wait time was quite long (understaffed for the volume of customers), but energy and hospitality of flight crew was great!
I really enjoyed the flight…and food and the hospitality but didn’t get the food I requested for.
Everything was terrific. Kevin, and the whole crew, were exceptional. Five stars all around! Thanks so much.
Flight held at gate for other passengers. We ended up being late and missed connection
Should have more cosmopolitan food choices - too many Indian dishes - the only entree not Indian was lamb which I don't eat
