We flew from Heathrow to Barbdos and back direct with BWIA a while ago for a 2 week holiday. Without being stuck up when we got on the plane it had a bit of a seventies vibe about it and looked in need of some serious updating. I'm a bit of a nervous flyer and need lots of things to keep me occupied on long flights and so when they anounced after take of that the in flight entertainment was broken I was really dissapointed (the flight is about 8 hours depending on wind). On take off things started jiggling about a bit inside the plane and one on the toilet doors flew open! Not great if you're paranoid about crashing like me. However I mut say after we leveled out the flight was very smooth and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The good thing about the outward journey was that we got to spread out on empty seats.
On the way home the plane had called at Trinidad before Barbados and was absolutley rammed full when we got on. We were in the middle of a five seat row and so didn't have any stretching room. It was a night flight as well so most people were asleep and I didn't wan to wake them to go to the loo etc. But then I guess if you want more space you have to pay for an upgrade. The entertainment was working but there was not choice and no individual screens which was a bit frustrating. But again I have to say a very smooth flight and lovley crew.
All in all I would definatley fly BWIA again on shorter flights say between the carribean islands, but I'm not sure if I would go long haul again if I had the choice. To be fair as a last point I have heard that they are replacing some of their planes so I'm sure that will help.
