British Airways

The absolute worst airline. The left hand doesn’t know (or care) what the right hand is doing. Incompetent and apathetic employees at the airport and on the phone. BA stands for «bad airline» in the UK for good reason. Never, ever again will I fly British Airways.

Our experience with British Airways was a memorable one, albeit one we’d like to forget. Bad food, delays, security misunderstandings, baggage mishandlings, and unconcerned BA employees all served to give us a very negative impression of this airline. No amount of free wine or personal TVs to watch can make up for this terrible trip. To be fair, we did encounter a few employees who were very helpful and did their best to remedy several bad situations. Fortunately, most of the problems we encountered were on our return to Baltimore, and we’re not going to let this experience ruin the wonderful memories we have from our visit to Scotland. British Airways management should send all their employees to Scotland and let the Scots teach them how to treat people. The Scots can teach them much.

We took British Airways direct from Baltimore to London and back and had an enjoyable flight. The food was abnormally good for airplane food, including a spicy Indian-​inspired dish that was exquisite! The seats were comfortable and the in-​flight entertainment was pretty solid, although I read the entire way. The aisles were large enough that you didn’t have to bump into anyone on your way to/​from the bathroom and the flight crew was very nice and attentive.
Not to be a lush, but the best part of my flight beyond the fabulous food and the fact that it was direct, was the free alcohol with every meal. Let’s just say, by the time I got to London, I was niiiiiiice! lol! Hey: I was on vacation. Why not start the minute wheels are up, eh? Lol! I am already planning my next trip on British Airways.

I always have a very pleasant flight when I fly British Airways. On the over sea flight each seat has a personal TV screen and plenty of movies and shows to watch for free. It is very comfortable and the staff is very accommodating. The flights around Europe are also pleasant, even when they are packed (Although you don’t get the private individual tv’s)
However the food is something of a let down to say the least (cream cheese and onion sandwiches…). Overall I have had a very nice time flying with them.

A week before the «Royal Wedding» I took my dream trip to London. I was very excited and I have to say that British Airways was one of the best airlines I’ve been on.
I was a little apprehensive because I’ve never been on a plane longer than a four hours but I have to say that the time did go by pretty fast. In coach, every seat had a private television where you could pick from your viewing pleasure. The food, meh, but isn’t all airline food back (see my quick tip at the end of the review). The best part was the free liquor and when I told the flight attendants that this was my first trip to the UK (or across the Atlantic Ocean for that matter) I was hooked up.
I highly recommend British Airways.
Quick tip, I always pick up a deli style sandwich from the grocery store before I fly, make sure that your sandwich is dry and you shouldn’t have security issues.
