If flying business class I’d research which cabin your aircraft operates. BA have some old business class on the 380 and new business class on the 777. (And 350). The new cabin is so much better. But the food just isn’t as good as it used to be

If flown with various airlines over 25 years, they have all been very good, I wouldn't date one over the other fur service, baggage allowance and flight cost are my deciding factors. Terminal C the new term I am at Orlando is very spacious, clean, clear signage, but be aware there is a 10 minute walk from the plane to the luggage collection and border control area. Ask for assistance if you have any issues walking that far yourself or with children.

Don’t fly to Dallas. This isn’t about BA, but DFW was a really bad experience. TSA was horrible- rude, seemingly delighted in just being unhelpful, actually yelling at pax to “come on, get moving!” then asking why we didn’t have (whatever) out. Uhhh, that’d be because I can’t do it while moving, and not moving isn’t an option. Followed sign to TSA Pre, not there, asked agent who just pointed back where we came and said “follow the signs”. “Yes, they pointed here” “just follow the signs.” Multiple gate changes (to other terminals!) requiring multiple train rides. Just unpleasant. Find another connecting airport.

The more you can do at home online before you leave makes it easier for you to just enjoy the airport before your flight. And just remember if you purchase food from WH SMITHS to eat it or bin it on the plane because it will add 30 minutes on your journey been escorted to extra security for having sandwiches. A reminder on the plane about food items to dispose it before you leave the plane would have helped.

The ground transportation situation (Uber, taxis) at International Arrivals (Terminals D/E) is frankly pathetic for a major American city. Way too many people and cars for the allotted space. I would recommend taking the mini-train to another terminal (A,B or C) and getting an Uber there, rather than trying to navigate International.

FAQs - booking United States flights

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest United States flight deals.
  • The United States can be accessed by many international airports, so your decision as to where to fly will depend on which part of the country you would like to visit. New York is a good hub for the east coast, while you could consider San Francisco for the west coast. Miami is a good hub for the south of the United States, while Denver, Colorado is a good central hub.
  • If you are looking at flights to the United States so you can visit the Grand Canyon National Park, you should consider flying into McCarran Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas or Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), which are the closest international airports. From Las Vegas, journey is approximately 124 mi, while from Phoenix it is 251 mi to the south entrance of Grand Canyon National Park.
  • Each state has its own law regarding the use of child seats in cars but in general, it is mandatory in the United States for children under the age of 8, or the age of 6 in some states, to use a child car seat or booster seat. If you are hiring a car to travel from the airport, you will be able to hire a child car seat through your car hire company. Please note that in many states, taxis are exempt from the rule for child car seats, so for safety, you may wish to travel with your own seat.
  • When you are on your flight to the United States, you will be given a customs declaration form as well as an arrivals/departures form to complete. After passing through immigration where you present the arrivals/departures form, you will be required to go through customs and border control, where you will be asked for the customs declaration form stating what, if anything, you are importing into the country.
  • If you hold a British passport that states you are a full British citizen, you will be able to enter the United States using the visa waiver programme. In order to be eligible for this programme, which will allow you entry into the USA for 90 days without a visa, you need to have an ePassport that is valid for 6 months from the date you arrive in the United States and you should also have approval from the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation.
  • It's not hard to find cheap flights to the United States no matter where you live. You can catch them from all the major regional airports, like Manchester (MAN), Liverpool (LPL) and Newcastle (NCL) in the north, and Edinburgh (EDI) and Glasgow (GLA) in Scotland. You can also leave from Dublin (DUB) or Belfast City (BHD) airports. All London airports also offer flights.
  • The US is renowned for its love affair with cars and the wide open interstate roads that allow you to fully enjoy your driving, so once you find cheap flights to the United States it's a great idea to book a hire car too. You can collect your vehicles at the brand's desk at any of the airports handling arrivals from Britain.
  • One of the best ways to find cheap flights to the United States is to use the filters on KAYAK flights and then go for those that either make a stopover, or are with budget airlines. Good examples are the JetBlue direct flight from Heathrow (LHR) to New York's JFK Airport (JFK), or the British Airways flight between the same airports that stops over at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport (HEL).

Terrible last row seats many seats available but no offer to move to better seat

Delay on my previous leg, had to run to catch my flight. But that happens. Overall ok.

At the airport, terrible, I do not want to even remember it. It was too humiliating for a business class passenger.

Flight was ok but lack of communication cost me to literally beg to be put on another flight as connecting flight had departed

Over 1 Hr delay. No APU so no AC on ground. Plane was hot during boarding and then they closed the doors over 20 minutes before engine start so interior of plane was steamy hot and stuffy. Could have been helped by opening doors until ready to depart.

First of all we couldn’t check in online, then we learn at the airport we were on stand by for KLM’s mistake of overbooking. The seats were not comfy at all. Our luggage got lost.

Ad experience - been flying many years with them but they are losing out to other carriers with their service and bagage / seating policy. My 2 12-yo kids were not placed with the parent. Absurdity.

Short flight so it was okay. Nice crew, all very pleasant and professional. We were near the back in row 27 so just as we got our drinks, we started our descent so had to drink very quickly!

The baggage drop-off in Stuttgart is bad: after online check-in you cannot use the automated baggage drop off as indicated on the website. You can use the terminals but have to cue to 1 of three open and slowly working counters to drop the bags. took about 45 minutes wait time.

Our first flight was delayed so we missed our connecting flight. However it was easy to book a later flight on their app.

All reviews good because...flight from BWI to London ,economy seats was miserable. I usually book 1,step up from economy but this would have added 1500 bucks 1 way. Bit the bullet and upgraded for retun flight, otherwise all ratings would have been rock bottom.

Great. It was awesome to have boarding from the front and back of the plane as it made the process go very quickly

It was okay. The airplane was a little smaller than a flight from Thailand to Helsinki.

Wish that everyone would board the back of the plane first. Also let kids on first. The gate wasn’t open at arrival and we waited 45 minutes to takeoff. They made up for time in the air.

This was an absolutely exceptional flight. The flight attendants were extremely attentive and very friendly. They seemed to go out of their way to make us comfortable and to make sure that we had everything we needed., We were in business and were very happy with the size and the details for our pods. We would definitely recommend Finnair and will definitely be flying with them again.

Crew very lovely. Arrived an hour late due to bad weather. We were given new tickets to an other flight but it could have been organised better, so we did not have to run through the whole airport to.

Flight delayed over an hour. They said they would hold our connection but then did not.

Major problems checking in at Alaska counter. They could not find our booking code because it came from Finnair.

Do not use KAYAK or Finair for future travel. Unless you purchase the tickets directly from the airline, you were going to have a difficult time checking in. Kayak canceled my flights twice and ended up causing great difficulty in me getting back from Europe because they double sold my tickets between American Airlines and Finair. The event caused significant delays and led to me having to rebook my flights.

The staff were all particularly great. The plane was clean and fresh. The bassinet worked great. It was all very nice.

Food has been disappointing in both legs of flight to india

Great staff great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

Great staff, great experience, made a 2 hour delay very bearable

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

I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼

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.

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.

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

Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated

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.

Seats are small, but comfortable and more space around you, so for a normal person the seats are perfect. If you are a big and fat individual, I would not think the seats are comfortable. All else was good and normal. Lots of movies to watch.

The biking process was confusing and I was called for a seat assignment from I number I repeatedly though was spam, but the flight itself was great

The same as I stated prior. We incurred extra costs that should be reimbursed, given we were not communicated with about schedule changes.

I think the extra charges for seating with no added advantage and the added charges for baggage are excessive compared to other airlines.

I had zero issues with the flight. I did have issues with the staff at the airport. We missed out flight due to a delay with another airline. Talking to the staff and trying to get a new flight arranged was challenging. One guy was able to try to help us and got us on a new flight, but other staff was dismissive and clearly let us know it wasn’t their problem. All I kept thinking was… this is why air lingus has such a poor customer service reputation. I will be avoiding this airline in the future.

Experience was great overall. However, the connection time between my flights (1hr 15 mins) was too short. We had to get through security check and US immigration in that time, and I made it to the gate just as they were announcing it was about to close. Flights with such a short connection time should maybe not be offered for purchase, or an advance alert would be helpful. Other than that the in-flight experience was excellent, especially the food. Many thanks!

The seats needs to be comfortables, at least please add more padding to the seats.

Incredible service. Incredible entertainment. I felt like they just kept serving us something new avery hour. My wife and I both had a joyous flight.

I liked that I went thru customs in Dublin instead of having to do that in LA.

I was so grateful for the kindness of the crew. They made a long trip very pleasant. Food was delicious. Many movie options

Audi visual not working for a whole group of seats in first class. How does a plane leave the main hub in such poor condition? How much that we can’t see so immediately is also compromised?

main meals are horrible but then you dont fly for the food

It was good. Couldn’t Check in online and select seats

It was great. Enough space and room for legs . Great service to.

⭐ British Airways Review — A Journey of Highs, Lows, and Lessons ⭐ I recently flew Business Class round-trip from Boston to Mumbai with British Airways, and my experience was a tale of two extremes — from disappointment to exceptional service, and then back to inconsistency. Boston → London: A Surprisingly Poor Start My journey began on a disappointing note. On a 6-hour Business Class flight, I was surprised to discover that there wasn’t a single proper vegetarian meal option available. I was offered a few bakery items only after repeatedly requesting something to eat. The flight attendant shrugged, offered no solution, and eventually — quite literally — threw some bread at me after much delay. This was not only disheartening, it was extremely surprising given my wonderful Business Class experience with BA last year. I stepped off that flight genuinely hungry and had to make a mad dash to the lounge just to get a proper meal. London → Mumbai: A Complete Turnaround The next sector restored my faith in British Airways. The entire crew was warm, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely caring. A special shoutout to Phiroze and the entire team serving the Business Class cabin — their professionalism, hospitality, and thoughtful service were extraordinary. They truly embodied what makes British Airways a global leader, and I am deeply grateful for the experience they provided. This is the BA I know and love. Mumbai → London: A Strange Meal Schedule This sector was generally fine, but the meal timing was puzzling. Lunch at 10:30 AM — for a Business cabin — felt unusual, and most passengers, including myself, barely touched it. The rest of the service was smooth, but the scheduling definitely needs a rethink. London → Boston: Mixed Experience Again The flight itself was decent, but the Business Lounge at Heathrow for this leg was a letdown. Arrived during lunch hours: no hot vegetarian options available Lounge area: dirty dishes everywhere Even after politely alerting the staff, the dishes were ignored and left uncleared For a premium cabin passenger — and at one of the world’s busiest international hubs — this was disappointing. Overall Impression My journey with British Airways felt inconsistent — two great sectors sandwiched between two that fell short of the BA standard. When BA is good, it is world-class. When it misses, the gap is noticeable. I genuinely hope the airline takes this feedback as constructive insight. I continue to believe in British Airways, and I commend the outstanding crew on the London → Mumbai sector — they were the highlight of my entire trip. With a little more focus on vegetarian meal availability, lounge service, and consistency across crews, BA can ensure every Business Class passenger experiences the premium journey they promise.

We were in business class and I had seat # 1. This was a night flight and after dinner was served, lights were dimmed and I went to sleep. The crew were loud and noisy so I didn’t get much sleep. I expect the crew to enjoy themselves but would Appreciate some decency in staying quiet while the passengers sleep

Have travelled business class with other airlines who profess to be the best in the world. They can however not beat the service and comfort that BA provide.

Great on board entertainment Tasty food Cattle class obviously crammed but not as bad as shorter hall flights

Logan gate staff was unhelpful. Arrived early, come to find out the airbus scheduled was reassigned and I did not have a seat. The desk agent spoke to his supervisor who instructed him to give me a boarding pass to get up to gate area, he was polite. At the gate the fellow was sitting to the side with two other BA staff . I asked him if he could help me, his answer was” we are on a break, we are closed” then turned his back. I am almost 70, drove 4 1/2 hours to Boston and had been looking forward to this trip for 5 months. I have worked in service many times in my life and this is not how it is done. I eventually (1/2 hr) before boarding was able to get a seat. The rest of the flight experience was unremarkable.

The boarding process was chaotic at LHR and the seat was not as comfortable as other airlines....
