As an American visiting the UK, I love that it is like you're already in Britain as soon as you board. The price is so good that things like a limited video palette are not really a big deal. Anyway for $7 you can upgrade and watch some decent films. It was a comfortable ride with the best pilot commentary I've experienced. I would definitely recommend!
The only trouble I experienced was getting in touch with Thomas Cook pre-flight, and getting enough water to drink without having to ask for more all the time.
The absurdly long check in line. The lack of confidence with the check in staff. Paying an extra 140 pounds for an upgrade that put me in an uncomfortable seat. Staff that seemed disinterested in their job and more importantly flyer wellbeing. I fly alot and rarely if ever have left bad reviews. As a business person, I hope you can use the feedback to improve staff training, "friendliness" and courtesy.
Drinks trolley too slow, considering passengers on most European flights are paying for their drinks. Quick drinks trolley with the food trolley coming along behind would be much better, and a lot more happy passengers, One and a half hours,approx., from take-off when the food and drinks trolley, from the front, reached Row 10. Not good Willie!
You should board by seat numbers on European flights. Aisles too narrow on 320's (and equivalent), with passengers putting quite large carry-on luggage in the overhead lockers and slowing everything down plus discomfort to passengers already seated.
Otherwise a very pleasant an enjoyable flight. when the doors closed.
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.
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.
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.
clean. Seat covers nice and clean. furniture color scheme pleasant.
1. Seat distance by far too less.
2. seat width on the borderline of being acceptable.
3.. No entertainment, not even a flight info screen available.
4. Only instant coffee available. If it is instant, cappuccino or other café specialities should be available. Emirates and Etihad make the example.
5. Food okay - but not for french airline. No innovation, no thought in it. Standard "how do I get the cattle fed the cheapest possible" food.
6. Electrical / USB / Network plugs or WIFI unknown.
The entertaiment was fine and the crew were polite
1,The food was bad. I was unable to eat. Simple food would have worked. I chose fish but hardly ate since it tasted bad. Additionally I am allergic to diary products and was not given a chance to express this when purchasing the ticket so I arrived in Rome extremely hungry. I ate at the airport on arrival in Rome,
2, There was no toiletries bag handed out i.e toothpaste and socks to keep us warm.
3. Was surprised that the food was on sale Brussels to Rome. Abidjan to Brussels was free food then mid flight rules changed and the food was on sale on the last leg of the flight.
bad customer service. No reliable information about the flight. How someone who never took an airplane can know that you have to get a visa when going to canada. If your ticket says your last destination is us. And i did not even got a full refund for their stupid mistake. Lack of information. You guys should be more careless for your customers.
Don't buy the runway excuse again for long delay. OVER 4 hours!!!
First JetBlue flight on this trip we missed our connector due to same excuse. Spent extra 300 in NY to stay the night. second flight on this trip after a long flight over the pond had to wait at Boston for over four hours was not a pleasant experience at all
Will never fly this airline again. Our connecting flight from Edinburg to Manchester was cancelled. I lost my phone and did not receive the email. This caused us to get to Manchester airport an hour and a half before the flight and we were told we were too late for the flight. We were told the next flight was on 7/24/18 and we ended up booking a flight on another airline, costing $3348. On both flights to Manchester and back to Boston, we weren't able to get on either flight and this airline did absolutely nothing to help us and also delayed our luggage for 5 days. I will be contacting the Better Business Bureau and my local TV station about this. We are two seniors and were traveling with our daughter and a 9 & 7 year old. We without our medications for 5 days and this is unacceptable!
I flew with multiple international airlines this summer and KLM was by far the best. The crew of KLM were exceptionally attentive, polite, and helpful. The meals were by far the most enjoyable of my airplane travel meals; and I learned that KLM does not charge for it's drinks on international flights, unlike most other international airlines that I traveled with this summer. In a sentence, flying with KLM was a very pleasant experience and I will recommend this airlines to others.
If I were going to list any negatives, I would say that the little travel pillow that was given to the passengers was so thin that it was practically useless, but I brought my own with me, so I was none the less comfortable.
It was part of our hop from the United States to Malaga.
I fly Southwest Airlines in the US frequently, but this plane felt FAR more packed in than those do. Without a free drink or snack, my 3 hours on this plane were miserable. We were flying at night, and they kept EVERY light in the cabin on for the duration. I don't know why they needed so much illumination to push a cart up and down the aisle for the few people willing to pay for beverages.
we were stranded in aberdeen due to flooding and were to miss our connection to vietnam. we were expecting the worst when we called BA but the service representative could not have been more helpful or efficient. she had us booked in the next couple of days all the way to our door. she was positive and we could tell she really cared about our plight.
