All good flight was 35 minutes early when arriving in Edinburgh

All good flight was 35 minutes early when arriving in Edinburgh

The flight was officially delayed 3 times, and was actually later than that. Combined, it was a 3 hour delay, but there was no recognition (miles, voucher, etc). The crew seemed stressed. The captain sounded nervous in his announcements. The flight itself was smooth and uneventful.

Once boarding started it was pretty quick. Food was inedible; cold and salty..

Very small cramped plane for an international flight. Everything else was good, but it was maybe the smallest comfort-wise I've ever been on for longer than 3-4 hours and the trip was 7.5

The boarding of took of late.The presentation of the food was horrable as was the tast of the food was cold and tastless.

They canceled our flight and left us stranded to figure it out

Not worth the price of premium class ticket paid, felt more like steerage.

The plane boarded and deplaned twice before the crew timed out. Flight was 7 hours late departing. Horrible experience!

They rerouted flight to LAX. Offered nothing but a 5 hr drive to SBP. No compensation. No regards to our healthy and safety.

Check-in was a little worrying cause we didn't get seat #'s until we asked the flight attendants at the desk. We were concerned that they overbooked the flight. But everything else was great.

I hated the FRA Airport. Confusing signage, including the path to Immigration and Security It seems that the airport grew haphazardly over the years. I have been through multiple WW Hubs with much better experiences.

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

Missed our flight to London and we were put on coach seats to Munich.

The process overall was pretty seamless, and the crew were very friendly (especially Michael). Considering we booked expecting Lufthansa and the flight was operated by United, it was still a very good service and journey overall. The in-flight entertainment was great, with lots of quality options. One slight negative was that I had selected a vegetarian meal prior to flying, but received a vegan one. I think there should be more dietary options as it meant I missed out on some food that I would have preferred (and it seemed like the standard meals and snacks had a vegetarian option anyway). There was also a group of people who were moving around a lot and being generally disruptive at the quietest part of the flight, when the lights were off and most people were sleeping. I would have appreciated staff stepping in to encourage them to be mindful of others). Towards the end of the flight (which was very early in the morning in both time zones), the lights suddenly came on and breakfast was served. In my opinion, this was too early, and everyone was rudely awoken from sleep. After breakfast was cleared away, the lights went off again for about 45 minutes, allowing people to sleep some more. Then the lights came on again for landing. It seems like if they had served breakfast later, the lights on-lights off-lights on shenanigans could have been avoided, and people could have slept longer (and staff could have rested longer too).

Overall good experience, just the delay of 2.5 hrs was a bummer.

I was disgusted at the fact when it came to checking into the flight it appeared there was no space for me on the plane due to the fact United airlines/Lufthansa had overbooked the flight. This was ridiculous considering I had paid to be on the flight and got to the airport gate early to make sure I was on time. Luckily my partner had asked the gentleman on the desk if someone didn’t turn up could I have their seat as we did not want to have to wait til the next day to fly home. This then encouraged them to go and actually check the plane, where they found there was a seat available. Thank god my partner had suggested this otherwise we would have had to fly back the following day and have to stop over in Washington. As we got onto the plane and finally found our seats (which were not together either), other passengers believed it was because we were late for the flight which then made it even more of an uncomfortable flight. This whole experience made me so anxious and was very upsetting which then effected the flight home to London. It was unacceptable! It should not have happened in the first place and I will not be flying with United airlines again, and will be encouraging others not to as well.

I should've been inform it wasn't Lufthansa but United Airlines.

They canceled the flight we booked several weeks ago and Lufthansa rebooked us on a very bad connection through Frankfort but never told us…the helpful United people at the airport figured out what had happened and then rebooked us on a direct United flight, like our original booking, only overnight instead of daytime. Why did Lufthansa not mention that they had rebooked us, and why did they add a stopover needlessly?

Everything went very smoothly. Only issue, my movie screen was difficult to use. Unresponsive to touch commands. The crew was EXCELLENT 👍 Very helpful and accommodating. Upon arrival in London, the process was seemless. Highly recommend!

Bread stale. Croissant stale. Person behind me was kicking me throughout flight. Boarding slow.

I purchased premier economy seats but I was seated one row off and was sitting in economy my bottle of water and cookie did not compare to the menus handed OP it in premier.

The flight was ok. The seats are so small. The free wifi for members was not an option on this flight. The one flight attendant, older woman with straight white/grey hair, was very rude. The gentleman next to me asked about the wifi since he was a member as well. He stated, accurately, that the option to enter the idea number was not available. Her response was, "I don't know what to tell you" and walked away from him. The rest of the staff was wonderful. I asked another flight attendant about the wifi, she said the free wifi was not enabled on that flight (true or not- at least she was friendly). It was also pretty dirty. When I opened the tray table it had mushed crumbs and there was a dirty used pair of ear buds in my seat pocket. Lastly the air vent above my head was working but stuck so I was unable to move it to face me when it got warm. I fly American often but this really was not a great flight.

Cramped seating but standard in all smaller aircrafts today no matter what airlines. Crew very helpful, friendly & attentive so makes up for that.

Ohooo it's fantastic 👏 I love it 😀 😍 ❤️ it's on time ⏲️

First time on BA but will fly with them from now on! Everything about the flight was superb!!!

Only for BA because we had to get to Edinburgh at a certain time. Baggage lost, late boarding with only one person checking, again, our passports and boarding passes until the despatch controller had to step in to get us away. Will never fly BA again.

Maybe a cultural thing but our "business class" seats were basic economy seats with the center seat blocked. I had to put 1 leg in the aisle and 1 under the middle seat footwell. I did not want the lunch and instead asked for some snack items. 10 minutes before landing and after asking again I was presented with 2 of the 3 items and a card reader. Apparently biz class does not entitle you to snacks instead of a meal. I declined. Boarding was a mess. Much standing in line because the various stages of the process were not coordinated. Checkin was chaotic and took a long time. Overall a fail, but we did get to Edinburgh. After doing a go around because we were too fast on final approach. Not impressed. Well, not favorably...

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.

No entertainment system, but it is a short flight so that is not a big deal.

I always choose an aisle seat 5 rows from the washrooms. This time, 35F, I'm seated next to a distraught man. Asked him what was bothering him, he says he booked two tickets, but the airline put his 5yr old daughter in a seat 38E, 3 rows behind his seat at 35E, alone between two strangers. He said she had burst into tears when he had to leave her there and come sit in the row I was in. Was I prepared to swap seats? Come on Qatar, five years old? On her own? Between strangers? You've got to do better than that.
