BA Bad Attitude
Review of British Airways - BAW by norrie39

Advantages: Only if you like android announcements
Disadvantages: Check in at Gatwick gives you high blood pressure

...a chaotic setup for the British National carrier. You will end up anxiously cueing at security check wondering if you will make it. The price, and the stress, coupled with the fact that the service is no better than any other airline, makes it one to avoid, I´m afraid. The other thing that I find strange with BA on these routes is that the flight always takes a good half hour longer at least. My last flight from Alicante to Gatwick took three ... Read review

Ouch it hurts
Review of British Airways - BAW by REG

Advantages: none that come to mind
Disadvantages: plenty unless you are into pain

British Airways you really need to get your act together. I have just travelled to and from China on a scheduled flight and it was not a pleasant experience. The food was poor and unimaginative and the service on the return journey .....well it was like being on a ghost plane. One had to beg for a glass of water. But these complaints are nothing compared with the cramped conditions on board. The seats in the rear half of the planes leave something ... Read review

Very British Airways
Review of British Airways - BAW by inspiralcarpet

Advantages: entertaining, safe, very british
Disadvantages: very british

Flying on British Airways for the first time was an unbelievably odd experience. I felt so English. Not being a person especially bothered by nationalism, believing that everyone is basically the same underneath, what struck me about the BA experience was how different it was from the other airlines I have flown on. I appreciated scones and clotted cream for just about the first time in my life, and was offered constant cups of tea. Such attention ... Read review

British Unfairways
Review of British Airways - BAW by alba_celt

Advantages: Nice flight attendants
Disadvantages: rotten luggage service

...those when it comes to British Airways. As some of you know by now, my husband and I went to Rome for our honeymoon, and as you also know, it was a bit of a disaster (thank goodness we had a brilliant wedding!). Anyway it was British Airways that we flew with. Maybe there's something to be said in that you only get what you pay for. My husband and I paid and booked economy flight seats, and yes, it was via e-bookers (hmmm, maybe I should be writing ... Read review

Domestic short-haul with BA
Review of British Airways - BAW by Den101

Advantages: Cheap online booking and complimentary drinks
Disadvantages: Poor quality food and grumpy Cabin Crew

For my job I travel frequently (about once a month) with BA on their domestic routes, and have also travelled to France on holiday with them. The service and quality seems to be very consistent, so this opinion is based on experiences of dozens of flights. For their short routes, BA generally use a Boeing 737-400 or 737-500, the classic 80s short-haul airliner. The interiors of these tiny aircraft now look very dated, with worn leather seats and ...

The World's Favourite Airline
Review of British Airways - BAW by mark152

Advantages: Safe air travel with friendly service
Disadvantages: You pay for what you get

I feel safer on British Airways as I know that their pilots are amongst the most skilful in the world. As a student hoping to fly their jets, I know exactly how hard it is to qualify as a BA captain. This should reassure those who are worried about airline safety. The service itself on BA is world-class. The have the largest fleet of 747-400 aircraft in the world and are heavily investing in the new 777 aircraft. The new flat beds in business class ... Read review

The Premier economy?
Review of British Airways - BAW by Phattyd

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

I fly British Airways a minimum of eight times a year. Four of those flights leave at 2 a.m. in the morning. Despite this the Cabin Crew are always curteous and helpful even at such an obscene hour. The food isalways served at an appropriate hour closest to the normal meal time. The seating can be a little squashed if you are over 6 foot tall in the economy cabin. I have never ad a punctuality problem in the 6 years I have flown with British airways. I ... Read review

Well done BA
Review of British Airways - BAW by Fiona2403

Advantages: Good customer service
Disadvantages: bit pricey

I have flown with BA twice. Once as an "lone infant" on an internal flight and recently on my honeymoon to Mexico. My only memory on being an eight year old on the flight is that I was well looked after which I hope provides reassurance to parents needing to put a child on their own on a flight. The quality of service on the long haul flight to Mexico was very good, from checking in to arrival in Mexico. The aircraft itself provide acceptable ... Read review

Stewardesses with attitude
Review of British Airways - BAW by Saturn

Advantages: Routes
Disadvantages: price, quality of service, economy are treated as scum

I really don't like British Airways. It's an attitude thing. On a long flight to Vancouver from London, I needed a drink. I was in economy class and boxed in on the aisle side by someone asleep, so I couldn't go and ask. I hadn't seen a stewardess for half an hour, so I rang for one. After five minutes the light went out, so I pressed the button again. It went out straight away. I pressed it again. It stayed on a while and then went out. I pressed ... Read review

London - Barcelona
Review of British Airways - BAW by petal77

Advantages: decent legroom
Disadvantages: complete lack of customer service

I flew to Barcelona from Heathrow a couple of weeks ago on flight BAxxx. This was by no means the first time I have flown with BA but the experience was so appalling it has left me wondering if I will ever use them again. My return flight (Friday-Sunday) cost £162 including taxes. I thought this was quite expensive but at time of booking was actually cheaper than Easyjet. Because of BA's current dispute with Gate Gourmet, on checking in at ... Read review

Sky High with a Bag of Crisps
Review of British Airways - BAW by PatricHelbig

Advantages: Safe, extensive routes, nice staff, good aeroplanes, moderate service
Disadvantages: Higher prices, constantly decreasing value by new money saving measures

British Airways has been created from BOAC in the 1960s and originates from a state owned company in Great Britain. Aeroplanes of the airline used to be remarked by the BA symbol on the backwing that included a crown. This feature has been changed in favour of some modern art paintwork in the 1990s. The airline is one of the biggest world wide carriers, especially in English speaking countries, and a member of the One-World Alliance of airlines. ... Read review

BA Cabbage Class and Kings
Review of British Airways - BAW by damaj

Advantages: PRE-BOOK your seats BOTH ways.
Disadvantages: None that count

...things. Well in fact just one. British Airways inability to seat families alongside fellow family members in a 777, and the differentiation between First, Business and Cabbage class. I have just returned to London from Toronto and have experienced BA's inability to organise at its worst. Flight due to depart at 2000 hours seating plan confirmed to gate crew at 2015 hours, families seperated to an illogical extreme - girl of 4 does not apparently ... Read review

Pleasantly surprised.....
Review of British Airways - BAW by pefidler

Advantages: They serve pretty much the world
Disadvantages: None to mention

I've flown BA a few times now, and most times, their service has been nothing special. In fact, probably nothing much between them and easyjet! However, I flew from London heathrow to Nice, France, yesterday and was pleasently surprised! Firstly, my company paid for the ticket, which was a little over £500.... Yes, you read right, £500!!!!!!!!! This was 3 days before the flight and for a fully flexible ticket. I believe the prices for a normal ... Read review

No problems touch wood
Review of British Airways - BAW by WAD1-2-3

Advantages: everything went to plan
Disadvantages: none

I have flown with British Airways four or five times and I have found the service they offered very efficient and very reliable. The plane wasn’t late and we boarded on time, which was surprisingly nice. Checking in was easy and as long as you didn’t have too much luggage there wasn’t any problem. The prices were cheap but just the same as any airline really. The flight was very good, we arrived a bit earlier than schedule which was very ... Read review
