Cons: Old plane
Pros: Everything. No issues.
Cons: Nothing
Pros: Lovely staff
Pros: The crew was great, as always. Unfortunately, my seat mate was very overweight, pushing into my space. No fault of BA except that bigger seats would help the "growing" population of travelers.
Cons: Bigger seats for bigger travelers. Especially on long flights. Those of us that are less full figured would be more comfortable.
Go back to the system that includes one checked bag and one carry on as included in the advertised price. I know that airlines need to be more competitive, but the ala carte for luggage is not acceptable. Instead, offer an opportunity for customers t donate to offset the carbon impact.
Thanks
Pros: The staff was amazing. Took care of the flight well.
Cons: The seats that I purchased were “premium economy” the only thing premium was the price I have flown premium with other airlines and there is a difference in leg room and seat size. There was none on this flight. The seats were the same size and room as regular economy. Not what I paid for. I will never fly BA again.
Pros: Seats were comfortable and plane was clean
Cons: Provide a hot drink and
Small snavk
Pros: great crew great seats great entertainment great pilots great food and the greatest airline in the world
Cons: free wifi
Pros: The crew was ok. They seemed really hectic between Heathrow to Rome.
Cons: The seats were too tiny for business class. Nowhere to put anything. So close to next passenger. I would not fly business class again on BA
Terrible entertainment. No interesting movies. I guess they tried to have movies only with British actors/actresses. Nothing current. That’s pretty bad for almost. 10 hours flt.
He seats in business class between Heathrow to Rome were like regular seats except with the middle seat blocked off.
Food was just ok.

N/a on food or entertainment

Cons: Food was awful.
Cons: Could have been on time and better prediction of delay length
Pros: It was very comfortable.
Cons: If my actual flight hadn’t gotten cancelled. Also my tv didn’t latch, so it rattled a lot and when the people talked on the speaker, if you were plugged in, im pretty sure it would cause hearing damage....
Cons: nothing - service for the money was top notch
Pros: Good seat
Cons: Free food
Pros: Free service Food and coffee
Cons: Free service Food and coffee
Cons: No meals served, and no beverages, unless you are willing to pay inflated prices for garbage. They will give you tap water if you ask, and that's that. I still find this approach despicable and unnecessarily stingy, especially since this is BA, not a lowcost.
Pros: the crew was courteous and did their best to address problems that were beyond their control. alcoholic beverages are free.
Cons: the light and most of the screen features did not work in our seats. I have encountered this problem before. this is a long and expensive flight for this stuff not to work. the food (special meal, asian vegetarian) was an awful, undistinguishable mush--poor presentation and dubious nutritional value
Cons: Very tight seating in the double decker near the rear particularly for a six hour flight. Food and drink were very good and check -in clerk got us on an earlier flight. Only complaint really was the lack of any leg room.
Pros: The crew was brilliant. They were so cordial and helpful. Every one of the, was attentive and cheerful. Well done
Cons: The filet I ordered was so tough that it was inedible. On the whole, the food was not very good, ev n the tea service which was weird. Also, the business class seat are poorly designed. If one is in a window seat and the person on the aisle is using the foot rest, one is trapped in place.
Cons: Overbooked flights led to a missed connection resulting in a 12 hour layover
Pros: Flight space was quite empty in my section so that was AMAZING.
Crew was lovely and helped with a few requests for myself and travel companions.
Very good selection on tv and movies and the refurbished aircraft was very comfortable for me on this flight.
Probably helps having seat to self.
Cons: Nothing on this occasion
Cons: Needs WiFi
Pros: It's like Air India the crew is old and cant serve the aircraft. Nothing I liked. Flight was very old. Waste if money.
Cons: Change the aircraft. Give us new aircraft or at least inform passengers this is old aircraft so we don't book. Premium economy price was very high. No service. Entertainment tv 4inc which doesn't work.
Seats uncomfortable. It's better to travel will Emirates.i have no words why did I travel in BA.
Pros: Food
Cons: Organization
Pros: Pilot communication
Cons: Free snacks & drinks
Pros: Not amazing...rather lack of attention.
Cons: It was 20 of us in the cabin. Better attention? More alcohol?
Cons: Announcements at the gate: there were none. The flight was slightly delayed and there was not a word from BA agents.
Cons: First of all my booking didnt have a checked bag included !! Since when british air do not include checled bags in their tickets .
Second its way too expensive to add the baglike 100$ for each flight !! 400$ for me and my wife !!
Third when i checked in and wanted to chose my seat 50$ each !!!
Cons: We went to Gatwick(75.00 Uber) to reschedule in person and we were told there were no refunds and if we wanted to change it would be 250 pounds. It is my wife’s and my 35 year anniversary and this wants a mood dampener
Cons: The 60 euro bagage fee for just checking 1 bag was excessive. There was no obvious way to pay on line or with the app
Pros: Everything. No issues.
