Terrible customer service from several onboard flight attendants especially Keira Campbell!
I recently flew with British airways for the first time to fly back home to Jamaica. I never imagined such appalling customer service would be provided by a proclaimed top airline company. I pre-ordered a gluten free meal because of my gluten intolerance (celiac) this was not provided on the flight. Instead I was provided with fruits and a gluten free bread for a ten hour flight with no apologies! I also have an intolerance to tap water and I was feeling nauseous so thought some ginger / lemon tea may help. I asked the flight attendant Keira Campbell if I could check whether the water they use to make the tea is properly boiled. Her response was rude stating “she is not going to put her hand in it to find out is she”. I didn’t reply to this comment but instead went to ask another cabin crew who explained it is only brewed and because I have an intolerance if the chlorine in the water is not properly boiled off then it was best to avoid this. I requested the flight attendants name and informed the cabin manager I would make a complaint. When I arrived in Jamaica and was leaving the flight I overheard Keira Campbell and another blonde older female flight attendant talking about me as I walked by, stating “who this one”? Again I ignored the remarks and said nothing so as to not ruin my holiday experience. When I arrived back in the UK I placed a complaint through the BA services, however I was surprised that they had apparently closed the case without any email confirmation, correspondence or apologies. When you try to update the complaint it only allows claims request updates. I have flown with many airline services before as I am a frequent traveller, BA airways was by far the worst! I will only be flying with Tui to Jamaica going forward and my best advice to you is avoid this airline at all costs. They have no respect for customers who are the reason for their success. Flight attendants have attitudes lacking basic communication skills, empathy and care with no reflection / remorse. Avoid this airline especially if you have a special requirements in terms of diet religion communication!
