Flights were on time. Crew was courteous. Food was much better than I expected. Heathrow is a good transit hub - great selection at the duty free.
App totally screwed me up trying to check in. Would not let me select a reasonable seat and therefore I was stuck in a totally uncomfortable seat for 7 hours. Will not take the chance again and use other airlines in future where no issue choosing seats
old seat need to go! outdated and uncomfortable. I waited 40 minutes for my bag
They had about 20-25 people overbooked. Including me. Why is this?? I was put on a flight to NC an hour later with a 4 hour layover. I was supposed to be home at 1045am instead i was home at 7:30pm. An extra day to pay for dog care.
Pretty disappointing. Paid for business class. It was burning up the entire flight. For a 7 hr flight, after the first few hrs. The crew disappeared. Poor service.
It was a one stop flight. What I didn’t realize is that when we landed at London’s Gatwick it was necessary to go through immigration/customs and then go to the departure desk to get a new boarding pass…then pass through security again. There was only a 1 hr/20 min layover which is not nearly enough time to do all that. There were at least 12 people on my flight from Dubrovnik and 7 of them missed the flight to JFK. It was horrendous and British Airways should never have considered it a reasonable thing to do. I, literally, ran the very, very long hallways, up and down escalators and stairs…ran on the moving sidewalks and arrived quite wet from perspiration in time to board. Be sure to give yourself at least 3 hours to make any of those connections at Gatwick.
Lost bag and absolutely no assistance in the short term. No-one to help either via phone or at the airport APPAULING
Flight was delayed. Thankfully I wasn't in a rush. The airport experience (shops, amenities, ample restaurants, coffee shops, seats with charging) was very good) was very good as was the boarding which was orderly and organised. The flight was short so whilst there was no entertainment I thought that was ok especially in the age of smart phones and kindles. It would have been nice to have usbc charging supported at my seat but again it was a short flight so no drama. Overall a positive experience flying from London to Edinburgh with BA.
The Heathrow team was no prepared for the number of people who were coming through at that time of the morning, it seemed they were also experiencing shift change. The lines were incredibly long and moved at a snails pace. A airport rep walked by me, I presented my boarding pass to her and asked if she thought I would make the my flight If I stayed in the current lane. The look on her face told me I was not going to make my flight. She then whisked me to another lane, got me through the line and i ran to the gate and boarded my flight with only seconds to spare. It was a frustrating experience, which BA had nothing to do with. BUT after getting onto the airplane, the flight team was welcoming and I felt a huge sense of relief. Thank you to the BA flight team!!!
Could have done with a 2nd round of drinks even if it was only to distribute bottled water
