Lounge was top notch h with great variety of food and drinks. Cabin crew were great. Smooth flight.

My seat 3G did not go down fully and the buttons were not working properly

Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better

The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great

Unfortunately delayed 2 hrs due to faulty tyre.. which had to be changed, but better safe than sorry.

Security area in terminal 3 needs to be made much nicer. Less claustrophobic and use of glass and big ceilings wouldhelp

accomodating check in staff, friendly flight crew ( a crew member was speaking tactlessly and was overfamiliar with passengers

Seats need to be updated. Allowance needs to be made for dinner service at an alternative time

The crew should demonstrate flexibility by moving a screaming infant to its own seat with 1 parent

If I could fly Virgin Atlantic airlines to every place, I need to go, I would. Leaving Heathrow through the special virgin air entrance, security is completely white glove service. I love this airline. From ticketing agents to flight staff everyone tries to make it a wonderful & happy flight experience. I wish other airlines copied the positive culture of Virgin Airlines.

The crew was friendly and helpful. The entertainment system in my row did not work for movies and TV shows and the Direct TV cut off in parts and stopped showing the baseball playoff game.

Non-stop commercials were frustrating when trying to view direct TV

Forced to check bag, even though plenty of space in overhead bins. Did not appreciate having to wait at baggage claim to retrieve suitcase.

Great. I was in mint class. Security was spectacular. A lot of room on the flight! And the WiFi worked this time- it didn’t work the last time and I am on a business trip so that was a problem.

There was more leg room in what was most likely a basic assigned seat (row 25) then on other airlines I've flown lately.

Paid relatively a lot of money for a not comfortable seat. I would not take this service again until seating is improved. Food also not up to standard for price paid.

From Edinburgh to Boston was pretty good, actually! From Boston to DCA? Not so much. More food offerings for those w/gluten issues please! I don’t do well w/wheat OR legumes so neither the pasta nor the lentils would have been good for me (or pleasant for those around me on a 6+ hour flight!). Staff on the Boston to DCA leg were brusque compared to those on the other 3 legs of my trip. Also, I paid $19/seat to select 2 seats on the Boston to DC leg and we didn’t get those Row 8 seats but were sat in ROW TWENTY-FIVE😕 Someone owes me $38!

Jetblue provided a very good service during the flight, the plane in a very good condition, the crew is professional, everything was on time. That's it!

The regular feedback of any changes to our flights. The Jetblue staff were very helpful. Our flights were great. Lots of leg room!

We liked the flight, but not in JFK, not in Gatwick it is no lounge and this was surprising and disappointing. I think by now it is understandable that COVID will not go away and why it should not be business lounge?

Trash. Sat on the runway for 40 mins…missed connecting flight because of it now I’m stuck. Thanks…a whole fkn lot.

One day, I do so hope for a gluten free snack! Seems like with the rest of the world FINALLY figuring out what gluten free is, American Airlines would too. Fingers crossed!!

The flight was delayed multiple times, again no fault of American but again the extra cost, for everything makes it feel like a cheap airline! Especially when flights are outrageously expensive already

Pitch was very small. Knees were on the seat back in front of me.

Cancelled and rebooked twice in one day with a drop in seat class. Not good at all.

First, to be fair, the flight was on time and the trip through the air was relatively smooth. But the flight was full, and they were checking carryons. As this process went on, the crew got increasingly rude and overbearing. During the drink service, a young girl (maybe 9) who had gotten up to use the lavatory got stuck behind the cart. At some point, she started feeling fearful and overwhelmed. Passengers noticed this and asked the crew to let her return to her seat. They refused. Then she started crying, and they still refused to move the cart forward to let her sit. The poor girl was trying to be brave and compose herself. The crew handled the situation terribly and with zero grace or decency. That episode, to me, encapsulates AA’s attitude toward its passengers. Disgraceful. The plane itself was cramped and miserable, as usual. There was zero inflight media or entertainment, other than the lane and borderline inappropriate jokes the steward made during the safety briefing. Then, of course, it took the better part of an hour for the checked bags to show up at the carousel. AA is no better than the el cheapo airlines these days and a far, far cry from its former self.

It was okay. I opted to pay for an upgrade to an exit row, but this might’ve been the worst exit row experience I’ve ever had. - The fold out table was janky and didn’t fold out properly. - The seats felt squished together as I was the aisle seat in the group of three, but the guy in the middle felt like he was constantly leaning on me. - Everyone who walked by brushed up against me, or knocked my entertainment screen, to include the food and drink carts. Didn’t get one apology or excuse me. - The community flight tracker screen was right in front of me and was sooooooo bright I could barely catch any sleep on my 13hr flight from Seoul to DFW. Not the best experience at all…

Airlines changed our originally booked flights. Our luggage was completely damaged.

Departure more than an hour later. Conexion/waiting time at the airport was more than 7 hours :(

Overall the flights pretty good. The snacks we’re good and they were plenty of them. Both boarding and deplaning went quickly.

There was confusion over the electric wheelchair. Though it was categorized and double checked at checking the gate seemed confused by the chair.

Boarding was a mad rush as people still had issues with boarding passes and groups 3- 7 were asked to board when travelers were still stuck behind the document check. Food was one of the worst I’ve ever had in an Economy flight. The crew was very friendly though

We were delayed 2 hours because the crew was late. They need better planning by the crew, we had to sit in uncomfortable seats waiting for them.

Difficulty to check in online, but well handled at the airport. Flight delay was unfortunate. Crew was adequate but not what we have usually experienced from BA. Seat was not comfortable.

Charging $300 to be able to pick a seat next to your wife was nothing less than extortion.

I’m very mad because I paid an extra $105 to change seats to an exit row with more leg room. The app clearly showed a gap in between the seats in the row I changed my seat to and I paid for it. When I boarded the plane, it wasn’t an exit row seat and no more room than my original seat. I feel like I was ripped off $105.

I had a great experience , crew was great and enjoyed the entertainment options I will be booking my next International trip with them .

Front desk was closed at 6 pm, I was unable to get my boarding pass and as such missed my connecting flight home.

Same comment as before for the luggage. And the gluten free breakfast burrito made my husband sick....

good service from crew. Before the would have an option between cookies or nuts as snacks.. Now, there are only cookies. too bad. People who can not have sugar don't have a choice.

We never made this flight due to the flight from Barcelona being delayed, which I have reviewed in a separate review. But I can tell you that the Delta Airlines flight that did get us home, I am extremely happy with them and their crew. The only one person that I would praise within the entire part of BA is the girl I spoke to in the call center in India. Who completely understood, was dedicated to a resolution and was a complete realist in the situation. Unlike some of the people who don’t care about the human element and stick you on a flight whenever. She got us home.

Wonderful service and comfort. Attentive and careful. The food was also better than US carriers. Highly recommend

Very good baggage check and boarding pass service at Heathrow. Boarding was well organized, given the number of passengers. Food was very good. Cabin temperature was lower than expected and we were not prepared. Overall good experience.

one meal and one breakfast or sandwich instead of two meals.

Many issues arose with the plane and after 3 hours of delays, we had to return to the London airport as the plane was unfit to cross the ocean. It was highly concerning that this aircraft was in operation with so many problems.

You're asking 2 different questions. The flight from Los Angeles to London (and from London to Faro) was on British Airways. Those flights were awful. The app didn't provide detailed information, the WiFi that I paid for didn't work, the form I had to fill out to re-enter the UK was not communicated clearly so I nearly missed my flight. British Airways is significantly behind every other airline I've traveled in every way. American Airlines flight form London to Los Angeles was great. In the future, I will avoid flying British Airways when I can.

Premium economy was not what was shown, no leg riser, seats were broken and do not recline more than economy, food, we couldn't eat it was so bad, no menu 1 item and it sucked.

Positive boarding experience, easy access to seat with plenty of luggage space

Another 2 hours delay because of the plane computer issues, British Airways

There was no wifi on board this route, and the seat power supply didn't work on the whole row of seats I was in, so I had to charge my phone and laptop in the galley. Other than that it was a very comfortable and enjoyable flight!
