   We flew British Airways Premium Economy from São Paulo to London: wider seat, more legroom, priority boarding. Great seat, but maintenance and housekeeping - a broken recline, a defective toilet - held it back. Our verdict: 3.5 out of 5. Full review: bg1.uk/2bf5xq

   1) I just want to note, as she does, that this is all on British Airways, who are trash, not the good folk of Iceland 2) Apparently not enough people are aware that the airport is nowhere near civilization and you will drive through wilderness for forty minutes

   The whole thread is great and a wonderful example of how to handle travel chaos... by travelers. It’s a good explanation for why I choose not to fly British Airways anymore, if I can help it.

   I’m British. I never fly with British Airways. Worst service of any airline I have been on (apart from maybe GreenAir, and old Turkish airline that used retired Aeroflot aeroplanes).

   Keflavik isn't great, but this entire misery you're stuck in reeks of British Airways. I've had so, so many terrible experiences with them, especially when something goes wrong with a flight and they just seem unable to cope like a normal airline.

   Another validation of our decision to never fly British Airways again. This far surpasses our own terrible experiences. 😳

   I was fortunate to fly on British Airways, when a flight delay upended our trip home. They put us up in a hotel, paid for dinner, and got us home. Plus, a $1500 refund. The European Union is so civilized.

    Got a friendly email from British Airways letting us know our flight from Seattle to London in January was cancelled and that they've helpfully rebooked us onto a flight that arrives 3.5 hours after our flight to Cairo departs. Having a travel emergency during a different type of travel emergency.

    Logan Airport is terrible. For the second time in three weeks i have flown on British Airways 213 from London only to find that no gate is available to disembark. 3 weeks ago we sat on the airfield for over 45 minutes. So far today 15 minutes. Feels like Groundhog Day 🤯🤯

    To be fair to British Airways they have approved all my expenses following my cancelled flight within 24 hours of my making the claim. Obviously not their fault the flight was cancelled. I do think comms should have been much better & I do question the flight I was moved to...

    Our British Airways flight in September was delayed leading to us having to spend the night in London. When we landed at Heathrow, they had staff there with free hotel rooms ready to hand to us. Free dinner. Credit to spend at the airport. But if this ever happens to you, be suspicious.

    The back end of British Airways tech is as bad as the front end. According to the Flighty app, my flight was expecting delays of up to 9 hrs, with info changing every few minutes, and rarely agreeing with the airport display or staff computers. 1/2

    you know what the worst part is I flew British Airways out there and it was [expletive] horrible, so I rearranged my whole return travel plan - adding an overnight stay in Boston! - because I was like "I just have to get across the ocean to any US city with Southwest and then I'll be okay getting home"

    I remember the terrible trip to Poland with British Airways. My bag was fine but dozens of bags came out broken with clothes falling out all over the conveyer belt. A boxing team was on the flight and some of their gloves got out and were shredded. It was insane!

    Home again from Basel and Eurovision. Have already booked into a Pilates class for later today and am getting ready for the rest of the week. It has been a good break though and kudos to British Airways for a good flight back - excellent, friendly crew and my bags were out within 15 minutes.

    I flew to Greece recently where the first leg was PIT to Heathrow, which wasn’t terrible. That said, the return trip was longer (Athens>Atlanta>PIT) but the Delta flight was SO much nicer/more comfortable than British Airways that it *felt* shorter.

    Full English breakfast, ESPECIALLY the baked beans. That and the British Airways scone with clotted cream I had on the flight over were the best things I ate on my trip to London (and the other good things were not English, but Thai or Indian)

    Safely in London. Our flight was cancelled just as we were boarding. ([expletive] you British Airways.) My amazing husband quickly booked us on Air Lingus through Dublin. The other 450 passengers were screwed. Hours late but arrived in time to meet our friends. We can’t sleep on a plane so we’re exhausted.

    Update: the British Airways leg of our flight was great, but after we got to Chicago it was an absolute shitshow. Gate changes & delays every 20 minutes for hours 😵‍💫 and then our final leg, an Amtrak, was delayed too. It took us 22.5 hours to get home. So tired 😵‍💫

    Yup. Flew British Airways 2 weeks ago( do not recommend: tiny seats, no leg room, terrible food) and they had no headphones for the flight to London so I was lip reading the shows. They did give us headphones on the flight back ( after I bought them at the airport, 😠)

    British Airways wouldn't let me check in or select seats before I got to the airport so I was worried I'd get terrible seats for a transatlantic flight but being kind to the lady at the desk led to exit route seats and priority boarding. Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets the goods

    British Airways are awful. We have flown with them regularly for a while - and it’s rare for a flight to not be delayed. They consider delays of 3 hours on long haul perfectly fine. Trouble is they have a monopoly on some routes.

    So British Airways have cancelled our flight home and are offering a flight from Tampa to Chicago and then Chicago to Heathrow tomorrow morning. We were supposed to be flying from Orlando to Gatwick. No offer of transport or accommodation. Bunch of [expletive].

    My dad worked for British Airways, and so I've been flying places as long as I have memories. Back then, his concessions were valid for business or even first class. But even given the cramped seats and the terrible food and the jet lag and the layovers, on some basic level I really love flying.

    Loved flying on 747s to/from Europe for business when I was in consulting [very early career]. Specifically British Airways 747s - Philly to London route with all connections thru Heathrow. Even the food when flying over the Atlantic was good back then [BA food intercontinental Europe? Not so much]

    Back when I was flying across to UKon a semi regular basis. I loved flying British Airways. The seats—even coach—were more comfortable, their customer service far superior & always on time. These days, I’m shocked that I can’t email or chat w/ a csr. Only phone calls. Delta beats them all, imo.
