Horrible. Nothing was provided. They pushed us off on to Lufthansa who wasn’t willing to offer us anything as it was not their fault.
I like to do online-check-ins. With this flight it was not possible because it reported (data entry error). I double checked everything and changed how my name is represented, but I could never get passed the error. The customer service could not help me. Had to leave earlier to the airport. A long line of people were waiting to check in. There were only 3 check-in counters for more than 100 people waiting. Instead of opening more, they closed one of the counters. I got assigned a seat almost all the way in the back in the middle. A lady at the gate was able to assign a seat with more leg room at an isle. I liked the offer of snacks and drinks during the flight. A nice touch.
Seats were cramped, too little room, not particularly comfortable. Service was excellent.
This leg of the trip was ok, though the check in agent could have given us assigned seats. I have a feeling though that agent could not as it became clear later on. Please see below. However, the leg from Zurich to San Francisco was horrendous. We only had less than 1.5 hours to transfer to a different gate using transfer train. We asked at the business lounge and were told to see the gate agent. When we went there there was a long line. As we approached business class desk, we were yelled at and the agent said "I will not talk to you". After a long wait, we were then told our seats will be assigned at the boarding time!!! After a time, the agent announced for volunteers as the business class was overbooked. We did get seats in the end but were separated at which point, we just decided it was not worth trying to ask for seats. I am not sure I will ever use Arrant Grant. I understand the Arrant Grant need to charge commission. However, what Lufthansa charged $10315.80 Canadian dollars ($7316.17 US dollars) was so much less than $12670.80 Arrant Grant charged me. I think commission of $5354,53 US dollars is too excessive. Also, I tried to upgrade to First Class and was told that we had upgraded once already and couldn't upgrade again. So, a terrible experience.
I got a fortunate upgrade to First Class. The trip was outstanding in every regard, with a particular shout-out to the crew, who were outstanding.
Only the dishtray thing. The leg room was reasonable but the trays sitting too long and space small no space with food plastci cover and utensil wrappers. It got cluttered fast. Perhaps provide tiny trash bags?..
Flying business class but the experience was that of economy class
Everything was fairly easy just hard when you get to Heathrow not know your Gate number until an hour before but otherwise really everything great. Did not get my texts in time though to do me any good but that is why I still like everything the old fashioned way and print everything out.
I have no complaints. The crew was attentive, pleasant and heloful
Missed connecting train since flight was late into Zurich and I had to stay at airport hotel because of it as well as I had to repurchase train ticket
The flight went well. However the leg room in coach class is very very tight. We arrived early but could not get to the gate early….sadly. Also something about off loading cargo- we had to wait to deplane. There was not clear explanation for that.
Good shuttle to Europe. Face check boarding needs overhaul. 2 stations for 200 people and still with passport check. Why have both? Why is this now slower than 5 years ago?
I was a bit disappointed that checked in luggage was not included in the ticket. That should be a standard thing for most international flights.
Worst travel experience ever. One flight missed due to a delay, got rebooked, that one got cancelled and 0 customer service whatsoever. No help for finding our luggage or getting a hotel.
Easy quick flight but everything was perfect. I never like the food and it was surprising good this time. I think they are making some changes.
On board was excellent—a remarkable positive change. Check in was horrifying. Forced to check in branded cabin baggage approved bags weighing 10 and 12 kgs each, because desk insisted these were not fit for overhead lockers. Got charged £160 for two bags. Behaviour of staff was hostile, motivated and rude. Wonder if BA pays commissions on collection, or borrows staff from Airport operator. Basle evidently is an airport used by budget airline— and customers are treated like consumers.
the old seats really need to go. they are not comfortable and outdated by many years. I waited over 40 minutes for my bag, unacceptable!
Flights were in time, everything was organized, food was really good!
The flight was cancelled on the day of departure (do not know if it was my connecting flight from Geneva on British Airways, or the flight from London to Boston, as no explanation was provided). I was rerouted through Paris on Air France, and then the flight from Paris to Boston on Air France was cancelled due to aircraft problems. Terrible travel experience so far. Current routing takes me to Detroit on Air France, then to Boston on Delta. May never see my checked luggage again. We will see.
Plane delayed several times due to mechanical issues. Plane not very clean and crew not very friendly.
