Fast and efficient boarding, pleasant flight with plenty of leg room in economy delight. Food was good and the afternoon tea was a nice touch. Was a little delayed in Canada due to CBSA checking all passengers at the jet bridge but otherwise great flight

Fast and efficient boarding, pleasant flight with plenty of leg room in economy delight. Food was good and the afternoon tea was a nice touch. Was a little delayed in Canada due to CBSA checking all passengers at the jet bridge but otherwise great flight

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

These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.

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

Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.

Food was excellent. Service was very good. Staff was very helpful to all passengers.

Your flight delayed at Heathrow n I almost missed my mother funeral.you idiots. I had to waste 10 hours in different airports. Thank your stars I'm not suing you.

Seats were old and dirty, for a long haul flight you expect to be able to recline and for the av to work properly. Choice for vegans was fruit….

Miss My connection I had to take a flight from Indianapolis to Denver , then to san fransisco , sleep in sans fransisco en the flight to Los Cabos the next morning

The air hostess was excellent. I have taken so many flight domestic and international, this is the first time the air hostess was so caring. She was a delight

It was partially ok .. not anything like from Orlando to Houston... first the flight attendant was not so nice and insisted on have a small backpack down when really was not to put in danger anyone, also the beverages they were not so good... not big chance to select other tea.. the seat was partially ok could not have those flips to hold your head.. and finally when it land off in Guadalajara, it was raining and the flight was going to the main area then go back and drop us out of nowhere with the rain.

I needed internet for critical matters and it never worked.

No seat back entertainment. And app had a hard time getting entertainment loaded.

It was great with United overall except for two things. 1) It was a 5-hour flight and we were with kids, so we were asking for extra snacks. They were extremely reticent to dole them out even though there wasn't any meal and the kids were starting to hit their limit towards the end. 2) Baggage didn't arrive until 80 minutes after we landed.

Seats had less pitch than a regional jet. Food was OK. Have to buy alcohol on US based carriers flying international. Boarding was a mess. Did not have bags but overhead space was gone quick. Would like to see the airlines enforce the one bag over and one bag under policy

Staff was rude. Didn’t give water for 2 hours. Worst service

We took off an hour late due to arrival airport not having enough gates. That was followed by 1:30 wait to get our bags delivered for the entire flight.

It’s a service to take you from one point to another. No frills. You want it, you take it. It’s upon you to bring food, reading material, games to play, movies to watch, etc. The wifi onboard never works - so you cannot even listen to any podcasts, music, or get updated news feeds. The toilet is a mess, and a four flight does not need any hygienic interventions when people either splatter their pee all over the seats or on the floor. It’s a monopolized service and so smile and bear it.

Very happy with flight experience. Great crew; friendly and attentive.

They are offering less and less for more and more. They changed our seat that we paid extra to select at the last minute. The seats are way too narrow and my elbows went numb.

No entertainment system. Paid extra for wider seats but not worth the cost. Flight left a little late and arrived early.

Seats were so small. I’m 6ft and a good 20% of me hung out into the aisle and the flight attendants come dashing with the cart. On multiple occasions they hit me before saying mind your elbows and knees. I’m like, yes, but where do i put them. There isn’t a space that exists that i can fold into. The carts are so close to the seats when they pass through that i regularly felt water dripping on me as they poured drinks. Overall 3/10 experience. Highly unlikely to recommend

Flight left on time. Crew was polite and helpful. Flight arrived early at destination. Had some trouble with in-flight entertainment system (not built in to seat-back) but found a work-around. Good experience.

The crew assigned did not start on time due to delays on having a person call off sick and later having a person not wanting to stay on cancun. No screens and also no beverages provided delay for 2 h 15 min

The 6 hour delay with minimal updates was not handled well. After many complaints from most of the un-boarded passengers, food vouchers were offered. The catering strike meant there was no food or snacks on the plane. Beverage service was heavily impacted, only water or juice was available. The staff at the gate was kind enough to inform that "if you want to eat on the plane, you will need to bring it on when boarding".

I did not like the fact that our bags went missing

Boarding was seemless. As for the flight itself, we deiced the wings twice. Had to come back to check for mechanical issues leading to our flight arriving 3-hours late to destination. As for food choice, do not choose the pancakes as it was similar to eating sweet microwaved porridge.

The landing was a little rough fit the size and weight of the plane we made it .

My inflight entertainment unit was not working. The chair compartments were broken. The suite door would not latch. Given the cost of the total ticket, I was extremely disappointed in the service. The flight crew was not very helpful.

7 hours is a very long flight - the crew was ever present and helpful. The cabin was comfortable - WiFi was a disaster as was the entire entertainment and flight info system. They could have helped passengers by explaining that the information available on our screens and our continued attempts to entertain ourselves with our phones would be in vain. Other than that - all was well! Very comfortable seats, amenities galore and lots of crew attention. They might have benefitted from more crew as very few served the premium and basic economy,

The boarding area was crowded with inadequate seating. Flight delayed which made it uncomfortable.

My baggage (1) didn’t arrive with me. I am waiting for it.

Terrible we had to wait out in the cold for transfer bus to take us to the plane. Once we finally got on the plane seat had no cushioning not comfortable at all. Food was overcooked and dried out. I was skipped over when they served drinks I had to call them back to give me a drink with my food. Overall terrible experience this time. I have used BA before and never experienced service like this before. If this keeps up I will look for other options

I couldn't get a vegan meal because I booked via kayak but everything else was lovely

BAD!!! due to delay I missed my connection in MEX, had to pay for hotel and new flight for next morning increasing my spent for $1,000 usd

Aircraft delayed for two hours due to a technical issue with the rear emergency exit door slide not working.

Superb staff, ingenious seating in Club class. Superb food and service. Loading and unloading. Ample cabin overhead luggage space. But the earphone socket was damaged and did not give binaural audio. Very hard to follow a film over the engine noise. Nor could I get to play Sudoku for want of instructions.

The plane seemd untidy and old. Ran out of food and drinks

We got there safe, direct, and no complications. As BVC airport is small its over 6 hours on a plane designed for short haul, no entertainment, very limited menu choices at awful prices. The coffee is dire and the price of a bottle of water is shocking, considering how drinking water on long flights is recommended by tui and every agency when it comes to flying. We were fortunate enough to be in a position we can afford the emergency exit seats, it doesn't make the seat comfier though and doesn't stop people who haven't paid for a seat just moving and sitting there anyway. Boarding wasn't on time at either end, of either flight. Flight times are not great, and the sales rounds go on too long leaving very little time for people to try and nap. Unfortunately that's true of many agencies. As I said though, we got there and back, without incidents, safe and semi sane.

Missed slot to leave so we were on the plane for an extra hour. The seats were really uncomfortable and the food was poor. The experience makes me think twice about flying as I suspect they are all similar.

Fine, charter flights. Plane full, and staff nice and friendly. No option for free food or drink. Entertainment through paid app.

The 737-8 is too small for the length of flight especially if there are any delays

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.
