This was managed by Bulgaria Air. Lots of confusion to whether we had tickets or not. Aegean Airlines also printed both our Aegean Airline and American Airlines flights on the same boarding pass. This caused multiple issues in the Sofia and Athens airports. We could not get a boarding pass from American Airlines since it was booked through Aegean. At passport control in Athens we were so delayed that we almost missed our flight. Passport control was not going to let us pass. They let us go when they announced our flight was boarding.
Bulgaria Air should stop using buses for boarding if possible. It is very inconvenient and delays the departure
Easy check in. Hot snack with wine if desired. Then chocolate, tea or coffee. Altogether excellent.
Seats are quite small, but due to the plane being empty we were aloud to switch seats to have more room
The water was handed out as we were entering the plane, instead of when we are set down and our hands are free of luggage. There was absolutely no food offered from Sofia to London, except a low quality chocolate, which was not delicious. The flight between London and Miami was ok, as far as service and food, but it was absolutely freezing, throughout the whole aircraft, especially in the back seats, I had to cover my head with a scarf, besides using the blanket and still I was feeling extremely uncomfortable. The passengers seating around me shared the same opinion. We did ask for something to be done about it. The gentleman did try to adjust it, but the effect last very short time, and towards the end of the flight it was extremely cold and blowing strong again ….
3 hours delay, little communication, no refreshments provided despite legal requirements
On time! The wait to board standing outside was miserable. The “priority” boarding is misleading as it does not help the boarding process at all. The bag charges were very high and my expected carry on did not quite fit in the measurement box. The lobby experience at the airport was terrible! Signage and directions were inadequate. The staff was all lovely.
Late boarding as our plane was late arriving from previous flight, then 3 hours sat on the tarmac waiting for a time slot. Then, when we arrive at Birmingham airport, we had to lug our bags down the plane steps, cross the tarmac and lug our bags up the stairs to enter the airport. Horrendous!
Sadly the experience with the airline is worse one ever. Starting from the state of the inside that was filthy that flies was flying around our legs. The food is expensive than a restaurant, imagine a family of 4 spending almost £50 for just sandwich of bread and ham no tomatoes and lettuce in it and a small container of crips that is not up to 20 pieces and a can of coke or Pepsi, and unfortunately that is a person ffour hours pay of work before tax. I know the blame will go to high cost of living but even at that the price is too much.
flight delay was announced after passengers were staged to board the flight. Communication regarding subsequent gate changes was poor.
Ground staff a baggage drop in Palma were generally unhelpful. The flight was delayed and the boards were never updated and there was no communication on the length of the delay.
Over 2 hours delay, communicated last minute - and no acknowledgement by flight crew
Boarding was terrible. We were all cooped up in a small, claustrophobic space awaiting to be let out to walk to the plane. Very cramped and very uncomfortable.
This was the worst boarding ever. We were kept in the boarding bus for almost 40 minutes without any information or update. Very uncomfortable beings squished with another 50 people and not knowing what was happening.
The system of checkin by online only not good at all.. Because not everyone knows how to to do it and when the people go the airport without checking online it charge him, this really unfair 55 Euro this too much for nothing.. Thanks
There was a delay because they had to switch planes it wasn’t explained very well nor were there updates.
Flight was cancelled. Then left virtually completely in the lurch
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.
It was transportation nothing more. I will give a positive rating over Ryanair. We missed our Ryanair flight the night before and received rude and unconcerned treatment from the Ryanair customer service. It was late. We were very tired and stressed after doing our best to get to the airport. The so called customer service ladies were completely unconcerned from the start. Aside from that, the flight to London seemed to be their opportunity for advertising. No time to relax as attendants were constantly in the aisle selling. I will never fly Ryanair again!!
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.
Timely departures and arrivals. The seat was slightly forward leaning which made it uncomfortable
Flight was delayed by two hours and we then sat on the runway for another 40 minutes and circled Gatwick twice making it 3 hours later landing this is very poor compared to all the other operators I’ve flown with the outbound flight was an hour late
Two of our boarding details were missing and they wanted to charge us 84 pounds for that, although it was totally their fault
They boarded us despite knowing we wouldn’t be taking off for another hour and boarded us into a plane who’s air conditioning was not working properly. So we were sat in a hot plane for an hour with no access to the bathroom getting hotter and hotter. A little bit of communication between the teams would have avoided this.
Brand new aircraft Airbus 321neo, good seats although no recline (so no arguments with other passengers). Orderly boarding using front and rear aircraft doors for efficiency. Departed on time and artived 25min early. During check in, ground staff are very strict about permitted baggage and carry-on weight and size - you're only allowed what you paid for. Onboard food and beverage prices are a bit high but similar to airport coffee shops.
If you don't want to pay a lot at check in desk, you need to use online check in tool, but you still need to go to check in desk to have it printed out. Then what's the meaning of "online check in"? Extra security check, as if 9/11 just happened!
All in all is not bad, but the boarding by walking outside in the airport airplanes area in the wind and rain to go up the stairs to board the plane that’s too much inconvenient. Hopefully that will change and we use the normal gates at the airport to board the plane! Thank you!
Pierwszy raz odbyłam tak pozytywny lot. Uprzejma, świetna załoga. Kapitana lotu W6 1771 z 6.01.2024, pozytywnie zaskoczył wyraźnym kontaktem i ciekawostkami na temat lotu, jak i informacja o zorzy polarnej zachęcając do zobaczenia przez okana. Delikatne perfekcyjne ladowanie WIELKI SZACUN i GRATULACJE dla KAPITANA!!👏👏👏
Got rejected to enter the plane because i took calming pills. Im scared of flying and i always take it since 12 years and it was never a problem with other airlines.
Very aggressive clerk at the boarding gate. Forcing people to pay for baggage’s that actually fit into their small cage
Check in at bcn was a nightmare. In-seat screen did not work, asked for help twice but was not able to use overhead light, watch the safety briefing, watch entertainment or monitor map
Really slow transfer after getting off the plane at Manchester, and lost luggage! Take the train, terrible experience on arrival
Over sold! Never again. Got bumped even though I checked in and arrived on time with all my documents in order. Wasn’t even offer food/drink voucher for the next flight that was 6 hours later.
The flight was canceled. It was very troubling because the rescheduled to Air France was two days later. I incurred two days extra of hotel, was not able to get a boarding pass until I reach the boarding desk at the airline. I don’t know what happened British Airways, but I was very disappointed.
There was a delay on departure. Seat configuration is horrible. BA should not fly this confirmation any longer until the new seat conjugation is installed. Your competition is beating you. Food was poor to average. Not many choices. Arrival was delayed at the gate due to another plane being at the gate. You would think after the delay at the departure, BA and ground control would figure out how to ensure you passengers wouldn’t be late and running to their next connection. Overall, BA continues to be very low on satisfaction. If I had an other choice, I would choose another airline.
Due to no fault of the crew or airline the flight left late but more than made up for it once we lifted off. Captain announced the delay was due to the plane was being worked on. Very friendly, helpful crew, who seemed to enjoy their job. Seats were very comfortable and appreciated headphones and the blanket/pillow in Business class. We were seated in the last row of Business class and they ran out of choices for the meal, however the Flight attendant was able to obtain a chicken dinner from another section.
We missed our connection because they loaded the plane wrong. And had to fix the weight and balance
Check in desks at Bodrum we’re not labelled properly to the point we ended up queuing at the desk only for the signs for business and economy to be put up later and we had to move lines to go into the economy queue. By the time we got to the front, we ended up be ushered to the business queue anyway to get checked in. The flight left on time but then we had to circle the air for a good 15 mins and then when we landed we had to wait to be taxied for another hour. Our baggage didn’t arrive but nobodies did but were told after an hour of waiting that no more bags would be delivered to all passengers had to fill out a form to get their bags delivered. Could have told us that a while ago. Very poor communications
Boarding was seamless, crew were great. Less disruptions on the night flight would have improved the experience and turning off lights earlier.
inedible food, rude and incompetent crew, un-necessary and un-justified delays
