Pleasant, relaxed flight. I had 2 seats to myself, which was a bonus. I couldn't find a flight tracker ap so I could know where we were but that's a minor complaint. On the plus side, the passenger announcements did not come through my earphones but were on main speakers only. That was a nice touch.

Flight delayed by 3 hours 45 mins and no explanation given or apology. Rebooked on a flight departing to final destination 48 hrs later and baggage not delivered.
My outbound flight was grounded in Lusaka so we never made it to Paris. DO NOT fly this airline you will be stranded and your plans will be completely disrupted
Inflight entertainment with electronic charging stations can help during a long flight.
The flight was delayed with no notice. No inflight entertainment. Communication is vital in any business.
Poor communication: Flight come directly to kigali , didn’t come via mumbasa. Favouring to Rwandan passenger to move from economic to bussiness class after flight depart. Where they don’t asked other older passenger who need more comfort. Rude staff : chekin airport at Mumbai. Talking in local language (marathi) while serving and no sorry no thank you attitude.
We had seats between the bathroom and a screaming baby, and did not have enough room to lay my head down on the tray table. Not ideal.
Everything was fairly easy just hard when you get to Heathrow not know your Gate number until an hour before but otherwise really everything great. Did not get my texts in time though to do me any good but that is why I still like everything the old fashioned way and print everything out.
My experience was wonderful. The professionalism of the crew was exemplary 🙂. The meals were wholesome and tasty. I have no complaints
Well it was a 2h delay flight so that said it all. With very little if any information. Boarding took for ever with long waits at the terminal and then in the finger. To top it off and increase the delay we had to take a bus in Zurich. A trip to forget
The flight did not take place because the flight was canceled and I still have not received a refund for the flight.
At the boarding gate, passengers were offered the option of checking in their carry-on luggage, as the plane was full. However, they failed to specify that they would not be dropping it off at the exit. Instead, everyone had to wait over 30 minutes at the airport carousel, and to everyone's surprise, not even the carry-on luggage, but the checked luggage, was the first to arrive. An hour later, we finally collected our bags. Lesson learned: I will never check my carry-on luggage with Swiss Air / Helvetic Airways again.
Poor. Seats uncomfortable. No leg room. Hot and humid the whole trip. Food and staffs were ok.
Delay more than hour created pressure to catch the connecting flight
The seats were so close together, when the man in front of me put his seat back, the screen in front of me was 9 inches from my face. There is no way to lean forward if I needed to pick something up. It was pretty uncomfortable for a ten hour flight. I was very surprised.
The crew was very friendly and nice! Very smooth flight.
Food was the worst I’ve had on a VA flight. Normally it’s a lot better
I was my pleasure to fly virgin on my birthday for my first solo trip ever 🫶🏼
These are one of the older seat arrangements facing away from the windows! Not particularly convenient sets. No storage spaces. NO COAT HANGING HOOKS. Inconvenient business class seat compared to any other airlines of similar class. Staff are excellent! Extremely professional, friendly. Food is good too.
Overall, flight was excellent but check in was very slow for Premium Economy. Economy queue was shorter but we weren't allowed to use it.
The staff was not very polite but the flight was very very nice and comfortable and the entertainment was great
Great crew - old style upper class seats on the older fleet now feels dated
Premium economy more comfortable than economy, but not by much. Did was awful, do not try the omelette. Flight crew were helpful. Flight was delayed by over an hour. Overall but bad, arrived safely and thank God.
Food was excellent. Service was very good. Staff was very helpful to all passengers.
The crew was excellent as ever on Virgin. The special meal was poor unfortunately. More significantly when we arrived at Manchester Airport there was no air bridge provided and we had to exit the plane down a rickety stair case. This is unacceptable for a transatlantic flight. Whilst I understand that this is the airport’s fault at the end of the day the airline is responsible for our transportation and needs to do something.
Super friendly and helpful staff, from check-in desk to cabin crew.
A bit more space? Not practical, I know. I felt squished in but part of that could have been the man sitting next to me.
We were upgraded to economy plus and everything was awesome!
Flight was great only departure was delayed to saome ground crew issues
It was good although we could not land in Munich due to weather and we had to go to Stuttgart. Missed our second flight. They did get us on another flight but the seats where not the ones I paid for in the flight that we missed.
The United Airlines crew that operated this flight was subpar. They didn’t
Excellent once on board. Security staff at Johannesburg rude and aggressive.
It was my first experience in business class. It was everything I expected and more. Service was impeccable, food was delicious and I felt rested once I arrived to London
The plane was 3 hours late. What more can I say?!.. This, plus my horrendous experience of the second leg of my trip in where the plane had to be boarded (off and on) without escalators.. but not-covered outside regular steps…!! No… this is my last flight with Lufthansa!! Never again!
Loved flying with this airline. Professional, courteous staff who did everything possible to make the long flight comfortable!
I had a family emergency and couldn’t board and I contacted underpricer to help me get a refund or just a flight adjustment as i would still be flying later that week, and that hasn’t happened. I will never book a flight through kayak/ underpricer ever again.
I noticed the crew was so much nicer and friendlier. It would be nice if British Airways would serve soft drinks during the flight
Must have had an elderly tour on the trip. Plane boarded via tarmac and had both front and tail stairway access. We waited about ten minutes at the rear entrance while elderly folks entered the forward access and walked all the way back to last rows of the aircraft! We could not access the row until every one of them finally reached the final rows. There should have been an agent directing folks Forward and Aft based on seat row. It was comical.
The airport experience at check-in, just to drop a bag, was horrible. The were two agents working, two watching. We stood in line for just short of one hour. I asked the agent if this were normal and he said, "Well, yes. Just two computer terminals." No apologies. BA needs to fix this ASAP. Meanwhile, I've moved BA to the very bottom of my booking list.
Good shuttle to Europe. Face check boarding needs overhaul. 2 stations for 200 people and still with passport check. Why have both? Why is this now slower than 5 years ago?
Tickets get checked 4 separate times by different staff, would save time if only the person at the entrance and the person who scans the tickets checks them!
I have always been pleased with their service. Would not change a thing
Both flights Heathrow and to SFO were delayed significantly. Walking up outside steps to aircraft with suitcase was a challenge and I am a healthy 63 year old!
Why don't they board from the back of the plane to the front. We have to move by all the people and their luggage to get to the seats.
Seating and food was the worst we have experienced in 35 years of traveling for both personal and busines .
First of all, our gate, and perhaps all of British Airways' gates for Nice-Heathrow flights, led to a series of buses that took a long time to board, were crowded, and offered virtually no seating. The long line of passengers moved slowly. The food in business class was awful. There was an air traffic controller problem that caused our flight to be significantly delayed, and many of the passengers had connecting flights at Heathrow. While the crew acknowledged our concern and promised to give us specifics about where to go when we landed, in fact, no announcements were made, so passengers in that situation were anxious about how to quickly find their connecting flights. Not a great look for BA.
