British Airways in general Reviews

I am a frequent traveller from Belfast to Edinburgh where our regional office is and due to expense cutbacks have been told to fly Easyjet. The prices can vary from £20 to £120 dependant on when you are travelling and as Easyjet have bought Go these fares may increase. I have found these flights to be fine for a point to point ...  Read the complete review

Smashing airline! I have travelled with them many times, twice on their new 777s, and it was a pleasure! The staff are so very friendly, at both the UK end and the US end. I cannot express how lovely they are in words, as they helped me so much with travel at a young age. The food on the flight is surprisingly good, and on the ...  Read the complete review

better then expected - Advantages: friendly cabin crew, comfortable seats, on time - Disadvantages: headphones did not work, on ground air conditioning did not work

I travel frequently on BA- mainly around Europe with the occasional trip to East Coast USA. All my travel starts in Manchester and I usually travel Club (Business)although my last US trip was out in World Traveller Plus and back in World Traveller. Holiday flights are always in Traveller I find that check-in is always quick and friendly but ...  Read the complete review

Several weeks ago, my partner booked 2 tickets for his daughter and her friend to visit us from Glasgow. After phoning around, we decided that British Airways was ideal, good price and arrives at Heathrow…perfect. My partner phoned up to enquire how to book these 2 girls aged 12 & 14 as unaccompanied minors as it was their first ...  Read the complete review

I personally ahve always found it a pleasure to travel with BA. However my mum may have a different story to tell. About two weeks ago my mum and Aunt had to travel to Vienna to visit their Aunt who unfortunately has not been very well. They travelled with BA and had a smooth journey out. However on the way back things started to go wrong. They ...  Read the complete review

A few weeks ago I flew out to Dubai with British Airways and experienced mixed things about this British airline. First up before I forget, if you want the best economy seats on the plane then always book online. I booked my plane ticket in March for a flight in June, they sent the tick a week after I booked the ticket which was handy but ...  Read the complete review

Ah, British Airways, the pride of Britain. On this site alone I've heard many stories of horrible experiences, but also of people claiming this to be the best airline in the world. So I had to try it for myself. They are perhaps a little expensive, but on this occasion I was a forgiving. Flying from Newcastle to London, I usually use a ...  Read the complete review

In February our family holiday took us again to Florida. We love the place and never want to go anywhere else. Unfortunately because of events in September in America there have been fewer flights. We had booked our flydrive well in advance and before the September 11th tragedies. As always we had booked to leave from our local airport. Around ...  Read the complete review

It's no wonder BA gave up its flights from Heathrow to Belfast. This service always appeared to be well down the list of priorities. The reason given was that the route wasn't paying, yet BMI has increased the number of flights from London to Belfast's two airports using larger aircraft. The reason BA pulled out was because they gained ...  Read the complete review

LHR-SFO BA285 26July 2002 This flight is going to be a reality check, for the first time in a good few years I am not sitting in the first 5 rows of an intercontinental flight. I have even skipped business class, economy plus and am checked into 31c in economy. Check in was smooth as I cheated and used the First class check in as ...  Read the complete review

The following letters which I wrote to BA after being charged £242 for excess baggage will illustrate my point. It is unheard of and without precedent for an airline to charge a passenger, particularly in business class, for EVERY SINGLE kilo of excess baggage without waivering anything. What incensed me even more was the way ...  Read the complete review

All I can to those of you who regularly fly club is you lucky lucky people!! It is just the most amazing way to travel (I've not tried first class though!) How do I know how good club is, you may ask. Unfortunatly I'm not one of those people who can afford to club regularly - far from it, I book budget over the net. ...  Read the complete review

I would have given BA 4.5 stars but the return flight spoilt that! We went out the Boston on the boeing 777. World Traveller has cosy seats and decent legroom. The food was quite nice and we had seatback tv's! Not very good films though! The cabin crew were polite if a bit distant and ever so slightly stuck up. I think this has been ...  Read the complete review

Last year I traveled to Australia, part of which involved a BA flight. London to Singapore. I did not choose BA, as I have had bad experiences in the past with them. I was sat virtually as far back in the economy cabin as was possible. My seat did not recline and I had no leg room (been 6'4") The in flight service was disgusting. I was one of ...  Read the complete review

Having recently experienced a great flight to Singapore on Club Class, I felt compelled to share my experience with you. Instead of bore you with a long spiel of my minute by minute journey I've compressed this opinion into bite size pieces on the aspect of the journey I think you'll be after. The Club Class Lounge: ...  Read the complete review

I have recently flown to Bangkok from London by British Airways. This is the second time having used BA. Previously I considered the service to be ordinary at best! However, having negoitiated the frenzied check-in arrangements at Heathrow T4, I was full of trepidation to say the least. Soon after take-off, drinks were served, which continued ...  Read the complete review

Having never flown British Airways before I was pleasantly surprised. It was a scheduled flight from London Heathrow to Moscow Airport and I must admit that a scheduled flight is much more pleasurable that a chartered. It somehow "feels" better. With a flight like ours and the time of year we flew (November) it was unlikely to be fullt ...  Read the complete review

I'd been having a really, really terrible time at work of late for one reason or 25 more (Ahh, bless!) The SAD season was approaching faster than a boy racer on the outside lane of the M25 and I wanted a bit of luxury. A bit of sun. A touch of R&R. Answer? Holiday! Due to the devastation of the 11th September I wasn't that keen on a ...  Read the complete review

In the past, I have had many reasons for slating British Airways, cramped seating on their older Jumbo Jets ( Boeing 747-200's) and the lack of on board facilities on long haul flights, not to mention the food,....ooops I wasn't going to mention that !!...and to top it all imagine the shock of seeing your clothes doing a lap of honour on ...  Read the complete review
