4.0 Mediocre

Verified traveler, Sep 2026

Late lights, lost baggage and cramped seats. Did not feel that lost baggage was a priority. Communication was slow and often unclear.

8.0 Very good

Verified traveler, Sep 2026

Boarding was seamless, crew were great. Less disruptions on the night flight would have improved the experience and turning off lights earlier.

2.0 Poor

Verified traveler, Sep 2026

Food really bad. Asking for functioning headphones went nowhere.

2.0 Poor

Verified traveler, Sep 2026

Had to give up carry on, food, terrible.

2.0 Poor

Robert, Sep 2026

Worst customer service I've ever experienced on a flight. They downgraded my seat without giving me any other options, then sat in a seat with an arched back for 10 hours. I was not able to get ahold of any customer service representatives to understand what alternatives I might have, or how they will be handling a refund for the difference in fares between business and premium economy that I was downgraded to.

4.0 Mediocre

Verified traveler, Sep 2026

British airways needs to improve their luggage handling process and communications. The luggage was lost/left in UK. But, this was not communicated to me as a traveler and because of the wait at the carousel in Seattle (we have to go through customs and immigration on arrival to US) I missed the connecting flight and had to be rebooked. No one informed me that the luggage wasn't there, and there was no one there at the carousel to check with or help me get through security faster. I wasn't the only one- there were a lot of people waiting for luggage that didn't arrive.

2.0 Poor

Robert, Sep 2026

My bags were lost. I waited in a line for 5 hours after I landed and got no resolution to the issue.

6.0 Okay

Erin, Sep 2026

They forced me to check my wheel bag because there was a full flight. This was very frustrating. I went out of my way when planning my trip to not have to check any bags. Usually, they ask people if they are willing to check a bag they do not force people. This felt like bad planning on the part of the airline.

2.0 Poor

Barron, Sep 2026

Had a plane! Have a plan! Have my luggage! 10 hours of travel turned into 50 hours. Good Lord!

10.0 Wonderful

Erin, Sep 2026

Easily one of the best flights I’ve ever taken. Worth it to upgrade slightly. Crew was phenomenal. Just wish the man sat next to me kept his shoes on. There should be a rule about that. But I wish I could take every flight with BA.
