British Airways

Pros: Wonderful airline that goes the extra mile and seems to care about passengers.
Cons: My head set was broken, but was replaced right away.

"didn't get to bed last night..." Just about everyone knows that old familiar Beatles song, "Back in the USSR". I borrowed a line from the song, because we recently flew on British Airways, formerly known as BOAC. But the song ...

Pros: Great wine, acceptable food, comfortable chairs and clean cabin space.
Cons: Tacky sales branding.

My review covers experiences of flights between London Heathrow and Marrakech earlier this year. While the information in my review will probably differ little from a good number of the zillions of reviews already posted about British Airways, perhaps...

Pros: Competitive fares, well-maintained aircraft, pleasant staff.
Cons: Can't think of any.... oh, yeah, no wine is served!

In July 2009, we flew British Airways from Johannesburg, South Africa to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.  In case you don't know (as we didn't), British Airways flies in Southern Africa (without flying in/out of London), and within South ...

Pros: Comfortable seats. Professional, friendly staff. Decent food. They gave me a free upgrade!
Cons: Sets a dangerous precedent. You may become spoiled by this company!

Recently I flew from Brussels to Philadelphia (through London) and back again on British Airways. As best my memory serves me, this was my third transatlantic flight with this airline. Taken as a whole I was extremely satisfied with my experience as I...

Pros: Check-in was a breeze. Comfortable seating and decent service.
Cons: Poor punctuality meant we were nearly diverted to a different airport.

We recently flew from London Heathrow to Aberdeen in (I'll get it right this time!) the Grampians - no - the Grampian Region [Thanks, proxam!], in Scotland, with British Airways. I normally fly by the cheapest route and that usually means using a...

Pros: cushy first class seats; private TVs
Cons: terribly disorganized; bad food

My flight to Ireland last week was originally ticketed like this: Philadelphia to London's Gatwick airport on USairways. Gatwick to Dublin on Aer Lingus; and then the same flights on the way home. Only, on the way there in London, when I checked into...

Pros: larger seats, private screens, friendly crew
Cons: dinner left much to be desired

I recently flew to Paris from Boston via British Airways. I chose this specific airline mainly because of the price, but I've also flown them before. With airlines, you never know what you're going to get, so I usually try to stay with the known, as...

Pros: Clean cabins, helpful staff, good food
Cons: carry-on restrictions

In October I had the chance to fulfill a dream of mine: To bring my mother to visit our home in East Africa. Mom is 85 years old, but still quite active, and I knew this might be the only opportunity for her to visit. So, when I was scheduled to be in ...

Pros: Great service, lots of food, general comfyness.
Cons: Has frequent delays, but then again, what airline doesn't?

I just got in last night from a flight from Paris to London to Washington DC on British Airways, and as usual, I was very much pleased by this flight. This was about the fourth time I had travelled with them. I hate flying in general, like most...

Pros: Comfortable seats in coach and decent service in flight.
Cons: Baggage handling, check-in.

The following review of British Airways is based on my experiences traveling on BA to New Delhi twice and Kolkata (Calcutta) once in the past four years. My trips were for leisure and I flew coach class. The bottom line with British Airways is they ...

Pros: Direct flight from Tampa to Gatwick, England.
Cons: Seats are so close together you had better have a small person next to you.

January 29th, 2005. I figured I needed to add to this review, considering I have used this airline several more times. I did get to go Club class. I had 80,000 frequent flier miles, so took advantage of a free flight. Booking in was a breeze. ...

Pros: Great service, clean and comfortable
Cons: Will not accept any miles except their own

I recently flew from New York to London for a quick holiday to visit a close friend now living in England. I tried like crazy to get a flight on Virgin, because I had heard such great things about them, but ended up settling for British Airways. Did...

Pros: comfortable seats, friendly flight attendants, well maintained planes
Cons: not on-time, connecting in Heathrow, weird online check-in practices, customs in New Delhi

Flying these day, especially on most US airlines these days mostly stinks. Most airlines are cost-cutting like crazy and economy class passengers basically get nothing for their money except a small, cramped seat. These passengers are further insulted by ...

Pros: Long flights are wonderful
Cons: Poor after-flight service, short flights are not pleasant

I've flown British Airways from Italy to the United States and back twice. They always seem to have ...

Pros: PTV in economy
Cons: Food, narrow seats in economy on 747, no jetway for disembarking at LHR

Just returned from an AMS-LHR-MIA return trip with BA. It was the fifth time in the last five years I flew trans-Atlantic, each time with a different airline. BA wasn't the worst of these five, but also certainly not the best. Check-in In AMS ...
