London - New York City
International
Why is the 50% of toilets on board an eight hour flight out of order ? That's so poor especially when you pay over £2000 for five to travel. Also WiFi was not available. Staff on board worked hard and was a pleasure but an icon British airways need to do better

London - Cancun
International
Business class with British Airways is now slightly under average and from a flyer that has been flying for over 40yrs and most of these flights with BA.... The quality of service on the plan is a little more than standard class, bringing food out on a tray and leaning over a customer with hot food and drinks is dangerous and with air pockets can turn out to be a disaster. The food trolley and drinks trolley was a better option and ensured you have the correct mix of drink Yet again average flight and service

London - Vancouver
International
I haven't travelled with British Airways for a number of years and vowed I wouldn't ever again as our past experience was terrible. However, we decided to try them again as the timings and cost suited our planned trip from London Gatwick to Vancouver. What a difference! We were so impressed with our economy seating and the over all service we received on both flights. The aircraft seemed to be pretty new and was bright and clean with lots of overhead space. Our seats were comfortable and the entertainment was easy to use and with plenty of choice. Both flights were on time too. The staff on board were bright, friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We always dread a long haul flight but this experience has helped us feel differently about travelling long distances - certainly with BA! Thank you for making our trip so bearable.

Athens - London
Europe
Why so bad? First a shambles at check in in Athens airport - over half an hour queue for a ‘luggage drop off’. Then got turned away because wine was in a padded wine case, not a wooden one (25 euros later the guy repackaging my wine made it clear my original packaging was more secure). A delay departing. And then an engineering problem with the jetty not attaching) - after my wife had the same problem on the same route earlier on the same day. A seriously subpar experience.

Cape Town Central - London
International
Myself and a few friends flew British airways from Cape Town to Heathrow and the experience was extremely disappointing . Both meals were extremely poor quality and one of my friends who was feeling unwell went to the back of the plane and asked one of the Hostesses for an additional blanket and the response was we don't have any which was quite shocking. The meals on our outward flight were also very poor
