“Decent”
Review of British Airways


Reviewed 4 April 2024

Flew in Economy. The economy seats were pretty good. Had much more legroom than I expected.

Airline staff were cool, but for some reason they decided to start handing out food about 9 hours into a 10 hour flight, and I was one of the few that were missed/forgotten about. Got served finally about 50mins before landing.

Date of travel: March 2024

Freezing cold flight. Food very poor and couldn't even organise themselves to serve meals ordered beforehand. Halfway through meal service they suddenly realised that there were more pre-ordered meals to serve. Service very offhand as if we were a nuisance . When pointed out to them I got thrown a sandwich before they located my meal. Staff couldn't dish out food quick enough so they could chill out in their kitchen. Zero drink service and people had to go to the kitchen area to get a drink themselves. We will avoid in future travelling with BA. We were on the corresponding flight to Doha with Qatar airways and it was a pleasure and had much nicer service . Recommend Qatar airways for the future. Nicer planes , better food and lovely staff who were interested in their customers unlike the BA staff.

The upsides were the seat was comfy, in flight snacks were great, flight attendants were friendly and the pilot was a 10/10.
But the downsides are is the recline doesn't go back far but still better than nothing, cleaning was average but under my seat was a dirty knife with stuff I didn't want to know, legroom was a little tight and the bathroom floor was sticky.
Overall a good flight

British airways continues to disappoint in every area. I am ashamed they are our flag carrier. They are a national embarrassment.

DON'T BOOK BUSINESS CLASS ON BRITISH AIRWAYS! Choose any other airline if possible. Walk if you have to.
I experienced the same problem with BA as Jeanne F., who posted on April 1st. I booked business class flights for my wife and myself through American Airlines, flying round-trip Denver to Dublin. American Airlines shows that they partner with British Airways for the outbound flight. When it came time to make BUSINESS CLASS seat reservations, it was no problem on the AA leg of the flight. British Airways charged me $352 to make my seat reservation. I am livid. I
complained to BA, AA and the US DOT. AA and BA told me tough luck. No response yet from the DOT.
DOT regulations require airlines to post additional fees, including seat and luggage on their home page. I booked, and PAID AA for this flight and they DO NOT HAVE anything posted about their "partner" airline, BA charging additional for seats.
I'll walk before I fly BA or AA in the future. From this point on, United Airlines and UA partners will have my business.
