British Airways - BAW

...I would be paying for British Midland or British Airways. So I typed in my departure city and destination and had a rough price but was still not fully convinced with the price so I had to go to my travel agents. So as I sat down at the travel agents I was talked through the flights and it came to roughly £200 for two return flighs to Paris which I thought as really good. I noticed at the airport that you could do a self check in which is good for ...
...peaceful. I think British Airways are good, the plus side is that you get a meal onboard you do not have to wrestle your way in for a good seat or arrive ridiculously early in hope of being a certain boarding pass number to get a good seat. The price was reasonable for the flight and there was no fear in the air I felt safe and even on this small plane it was a good flight. Go to http://www.britishairways.com ...

...side. I recently flew British Airways from Heathrow to Tokyo and back for the first time in a long haul in Summer 2008. BA was picked and booked not out of choice it must be said, as i got a significant reduction on the price of Economy tickets through a friend...but as the reduction was so substantial i thought i could last a 12 hour flight in economy class. I have to say before i got on the flight i didn't really have any high expectations but ...
...galley. The 21st Century British Airways must improve if it wishes to keep up with airlines offering great service and affordability such as Lufhansa, Emirates and many more i've heard offer fantastic customer service from there Crew onboard. If its the only flight to/from where you want to go, or the cheapest by a long mile i could see the point in flying with BA but after the dreadful in-flight experience i experienced on my flights to Tokyo ...

...for work and fly with British Airways in Europe....I have found the service to be of a good standard considering that most of the flights last about 1 hour....during that time i have received a light meal and refreshments(which I am barely able to finish) - next thing i know the flight is ready to land! Obviously the tickets I have been purchasing are in business class, the service in economy may not be worth the money...i feel that the cost of ...
...I have only flown with British Airways Club Europe, however i feel the service is probally similar across the board. The main difference will probally be the club lounge which offers free refreshments and light snacks before boarding...always a nice feature. Basically,my opinion is, that it is worth the companies extra cost, to send a staff member in Club class to European destinations. The traveller recieves the comfort and pampering that makes ...

...AT BOTTOM. For some reason British airways has had a bad name attached to it – but anyone who flies with them frequently will know that this is not true. Ok, so every airline has its problems, including BA, but the service level at BA is excellent. This review is about Club Wolrd on the Boeing 777 @ British Airways. HOW WE WERE UPGRADED We originally bought return tickets to San Diego from London for around £700 a piece in economy class. This is ...
...something salty. VERDICT The British Airways Boeing 777 is top notch. The food, service, comfort, entertainment and gadgets provided are excellent and really give you the chance to make use of the space you have in the manor you want. World Club makes a 12 hour trip easy and comfortable, and I have yet to find a better airline. Just make sure you get to the check-in AT LEAST 45 minutes before your stated check-in time. There is no guarantee that ...

Review of British Airways - BAW

We last flew with British Airways almost a year ago, September 2000 from Heathrow to Washington Dulles airport. And it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. High quality planes, excellent customer service, good meals and top-class in-flight entertainment led to a great start and finish to our holidays. So I'll go through the BA experience in a sort of logical progression. The booking of tickets were excellent. We had no problems, though we did ...

Last year i did a flight of Belfast-London-LA-Brisbane-NYC-London-Belfast. This was a code share flight with two other airlines who i will review in their respective sections. I have also done a review of the BA travel shop that i bought the tickets from. The London-LA and NYC-London legs of my flight were with BA. Overall the flight cost just over £800 which i thought was good. I had never flown with BA before and i guess i had high standards and ...
...i didn't have to check in at Heathrow. Firstly-the Planes The planes were very clean-and everything worked the way it was meant to. The condition of the interior was excellent and not threadbare like a few planes i have been on. They had a reasonable entertainment system onboard that kept me occupied for most of the flight. On a scale of 1 to 5 i would rate it a 4. The food was okay-anyone who travels in economy expects your usual run of the mill ...

...my life and never with British Airways. I have just been on honeymoon to Cyprus and the flights were with BA. The flight was part of the package booked so we had no choice in who we were flying with and also have no idea of the cost. My experience of flying with them was great so I wanted to share it. OUTWARD JOURNEY +++++++++++++++++ We arrived at Heathrow at around 4pm for a 6.50pm flight. We were able to check in straight away, after queing ...
...This review has been on British Airways only, not Heathrow. We were extremely please and satisfied with BA and we would definitely recommend them and we would fly with them again. The only thing that does annoy me and that is on every flight, is that people are able to recline their seats in front of you!! ...

Review of British Airways - BAW

I have used British Airways on a number of occasions and first off, I must say that it is definitely my preferred airline. The most recent was when I travelled to Germany as a Euro Traveller on a past CityFlyer service.(Previously an independent airline until BA bought it a few years ago). I flew from London Heathrow to Zurich (Switzerland) and caught the train into Germany. I returned by flying from Frankfurt to London Heathrow. You may ask why ...
...The other benefits I see British Airways of having, is that they keep a very good (if not extremely good) safety conscious policy. I was surprised to find they contain recorders which review all major technical devices on the plane which they use to diagnose and highlight potential problems. This is far more than many (most) other airlines, many of which only have a Black Box and cockpit voice recorder and limit the information they collect about ...

...Concorde is being retired by British Airways at the end of October 2003. I've always been interested in engineering and had always wanted to travel on Concorde. When they announced the retirement I decided to spend some of my savings on this expensive flight before it became priceless. So. What is the Concorde experience about? Booking... First I made my booking via BA's website. This was the best way to make the booking as I was able to play ...
...Concorde is available cheaper if you book a month in advance and fly one leg on a Monday or Friday. Thus I got my ticket at about half the price of a walk on ticket. Next I called BA and explained that I had a ticket and asked if I could reserve my seat, I wanted a window seat. They booked this straightaway and helped me choose a seat in the "forward cabin" - I now realize I could do this online when using the on line checking service. However, I'd ...

They decided not to provide me with the service that I had paid for, and have since lied and altered their story to avoid paying an acceptable refund. On trying to complete an online check in 20 hours before departure, I received an error message saying that I couldn't check in online and could only check in personally. This I ...

This is very much not the case though. 3 months later, I am still battling with them. Their first response was to only offer a handful of air miles as "compensation". Their second response was to say they had "lost" my claim for refund ...

Review of British Airways - BAW

British Airways markets itself as the “World’s favourite airline”. Having spoken to many frequent travellers, opinion appears to be very much divided. In fact, when you listen to the sentiments expressed, there does not seem to be any middle ground. People either love them or hate them. And what is my opinion? Overall, I “like” them. I would not go as far as to say I “love” them, but I do consider them to be a cut above the rest. I have been fortunate ...
...other airlines, and far prefer British Airways. The standard of service was excellent, and the cabin staff were polite and professional. I have heard some people say that the cabin staff can be “stand-offish”. I disagree. I once travelled on a rival airline where the cabin crew lived up to the cruel nickname “trolley-dollies”. I would not have liked to rely on them in an emergency. Due to my lack of finances and desire to travel as much as I can, ...

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 mentioned to BA. The in-flight comfort pack was pretty standard-toothbrush,toothpaste, socks and eyeshades and a destination guide with the menu. Virgin's is better though. Club World ...

I would say it was below average. Firstly I was told by the check-in staff at Boston Logan ...

As long as the Mack has her food and tv in front of her, she's fairly happy! There is a video shown at the beginning of the flight about how to stay healthy on board, with some leg exercises to do to prevent DVT. If you can do them with the hand luggage at your feet, then you fared better than me. The best thing to do is have ...
