Find Cheap Flights from London to Vancouver Intl (LON - YVR)

clean

online check in was difficult. flight delay (20-25 minutes) due to mechanical problems

Boarding is always a bit confusing as I stand around unsure of when to board. The crew is very courteous and professional and even on a short flight the food is great, especially the chocolate.

The entertainment was not great but it was a very short flight.

Gate area was cramped and a little chaotic

Comfortable seats and boarding was quick.

No air control when we got hot, the stewardess was too efficient and kept taking our drinks, you have to pay for food and teh in flight movie wasn't over by the time the flight was over so I didn't get ro see the whole movie.

The crew and their attitude

The planes are worn out with the result that they often have mechanical problems. When the new promised planes arrive this will be a great service. The saving grace of the current service really is the personnel, unlike US carriers if they can help they will.

I expected free entertainment for a 10 hour flight (only if you had your own iPad). Although I thought they offered good movie options, it was very limited, so not sure everyone would agree.

On a 10+ hour flight, I expected free meals, so I didn't eat before the flight. I was charged $9 for an extremely small shepherd's pie (bc they didn't have the other 2 meals that I asked for first). Guests were only offered coffee, tea or water and had to pay extra for soda, juice, etc. The flight attendants seemed annoyed any time someone turned on the light to request their attention, yet they did not scan the aisles often at all. I also have had free headphones on most flights I've ever taken, yet was charged $3.50 for horrible headphones (they had $10 and $30 options as well but I wasn't about to spend that). On my 9 hour flight to Europe on different airline, I received 2 free meals, snack, free wine and was offered soda/juice/etc and free headphones.

This was by the far the best flight experience ive had in my life. British Airways was amazing. The staff was awesome and helpful. The food wasn't so bad either, there was a lot given so it was nice to have the options. the seats were so much better than others ive been on as well and I just loved the entertainment options. if I wasn't so sleepy I wish I could've watched more movies and tv! overall amazing and id book with british airways again

Having not flown BA for some years it's easy to get a fresh perspective. The A380 is a good plane that holds a lot of folks. Getting them on & off can take some doing. BA seems to have figured it out. The flight was effortless, the food and service were unobtrusive and quality. Overall a pleasant way to spend the hours from Heathrow to Vancouver in either direction.

Minor grumble outside of BAs gate being 20 minutes walk from the lounge was the boarding at Heathrow. With that many folks surely BA could do a better job of the pre-flight organization.

cheap(?)

everything - absolutely no frills

The food was good, the service was excellent, and we had achance to sleep.

Nothing

flight arrived on time.. mostly as the boarding time is an hour and twenty minutes prior to departure time so be prepared to arrive at the gate early waiting for boarding information.

Blankets and headsets were not provided free of charge; they cost $8.00 each if one wishes to purchase them on board; Cabin crew did what they were supposed to do, but did not go above and beyond their work to achieve excellent customer service. At times I noted that one of the flight attendants did not smile for the entire duration of the flight. Entertainment was limited on board.

Gatwick airport felt like I was in a hamster cage before boarding and they had horrible policies as an airport that didn't follow airline policies. The airport was also not set up with kiosks to print boarding passes at the airport and for people traveling without computers to check in beforehand.

The flight on time and comfort

Nothing

Not much turbulent. Smooth.

I did not get the meal of my choice, also as I tried to check in at home, the system did not give me much choices to respond to, instead the system blocked me entirely from early check in and it wasn't enough time to make calls. I think check in should be made available at least 48-72hrs ahead not just 24hrs. Also walking from terminal to terminal in Frankfurt is way too far, it seems about 2miles + of walk.

We have bought our seats, but in the airport it was found that our seats were assigned to somebody else and nothing could be done to give them back to us

I was so impressed with my whole experience with Swissair on my recent trip from Miami to Malaga, Spain. Very courteous and friendly crew, up to date aircraft and right on time!

It wasn't clear that we would need to pay to check our luggage, especially since every international flight I have ever been on allows you a checked bag at no cost. When we got to the airport it cost us $130 each to check our bag which we were told it would have been around $50 if we had done it online ahead of time (if we knew). $130 per bag is excessive for checked luggage and we were extremely frustrated and disappointed. I like to fly Virgin when I can due to comfort but that experience left much to be desired.

Never seen an international flight charges checked in luggage $130 US dollars a piece

The crew was excellent, never heard a negative comment. Helpful and courteous. Flight was delayed from Amsterdam, but did not cause a problem with our connection at Iceland.

Very crowded and disorganized at Amsterdam. More of an issue with both airports lack of people capacity than Icelandair operations.

I like the route going through Reykjavik so that we can avoid New York and Chicago connections.

No food servedl

staff was excellent

not a big enough selection of movies and tv to watch. Would have also liked to have a way to see our progress on the flight.

Could not get the Westjet Connect Panasonic video plug-in to install properly on my upgraded Windows 10 laptop. Had to watch movies on my tiny mobile phone screen.

The flight was a great value

The toilets were very unsanitary by halfway through the 9 hour flight

Staff were friendly

The plane sat at the gate for nearly an hour before we left.

The quiches are so yummy, and very compact and easy.

None

Terrible flight had to delay few times , we had to wait inside in the plane for more than 2 hours , they had me to check im my carry on in geneva layover even i had a personla stuff inside and with no lock , rude crew i never even fly with suiss i had toncome back with lugthansa because they had to delay the flight again

Wheelchair attendant was late picking me up from the Club World lounge (at least the British Airways agent monitoring the whole thing cared and kept us updated while we sat out front waiting. Despite the fact that I'd checked with BA the previous night that yes, I was registered to have a gluten-free meal (as of two weeks beforfehand), the flight attendants had no record of this and no GF meal had been included for me. Entertainment = faded screens, bad touch screen interface, crashed nd needed to be rebooted at one point, touch screen minimally responsive, a shockingly small number of choices. Did not have wireless or a usb port, but fortunately there was a universal AC outlet and I had my wall charger along so that I could spend most of the flight using my iPad to read. I'm especially displease with the food, boarding process, and entertainment considering my boyfriend's and my seats were Club World seats I'd paid for (rather than receiving them as a reward). On the bright side, the lie-flat seats saved me from days of post-flight pain, so it could have been worse. Not pleased overall, and the next time I travel internationally, I'll probably chooseanother airline if the prices only differ by a few hundred dollars.

even better!

The food was good and free.

I bought a ticket from British airlines but the first leg of the trip was with Vueling. The online check in at British Airlines sent me to Vueling but I couldn't check in with British. We had to stand in line at Vueling to check our bags and then with British Airlines to get Get the boarding passes for the other two legs of our our trip. The bags didn't make the switch. British Airlines found our bags in 2 days but 5 days later that's a week later the web check of our file says bags ready for Delivery and call help line can not talk to the airport to find out the problem.

Great food.

Not much space for a long flight.
