It was a disaster. The crew was so rude and had no professionalism. She dropped something onto the floor, then took it from the floor and put it into the food tray. Also, when she got some spilling, she went straight to the toilet, got some tissue and started cleaning the food trolley

I cant wait for planes to have shorter rows with more space! otherwise, all fine thankyou

They lost the stroller and car seat which they found after 4 days, and on the way back they damaged the stroller.

Damage lagguage, They lost the stroller and car seat which they found after 4 days, and on the way back they damaged the stroller.

Same situation saudi lost my pram and car seat and damaged lagguage

My gag was left at liayad airport when I landed at jeddah airport 9 am I waited for my bags at jeddah airport till 2.45 pm almost 6 hrs bad very bad

Apart from chaotic boarding - which I totally understand was outside the control of gate staff. It was comfortable mid haul flight. Well done to cabin crew for their patience and hospitality with largely elderly passengers returning from pilgrimage.

The intettainme is old stuff and difficult to get by WiFi and the chair is not comfortable at all although the staff were excellent but beyond their limited

Overall a great experience, no movies were available. Bags were delivered a bit late. Seat controls were not working well. I couldn't make my bed fully flat.

It is almost 7 hours journey ,you should have provided with TV entertainment and mobile charging

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.

I wouldn't know what the flight was like. AI canceled my flight reservation!! There's no way to speak to an actual human to fix the issue! NEVER AGAIN! ALWAYS BOOK YOUR FLIGHT DIRECTLY WITH THE AIRLINE NEVER GO THROUGH KAYAK OR JUSTFLY.COM!!

THE SEATS ARE A JOKE!!!! YOU CALL THIS BUSINESS CLASS SEATS ? ITS A DISGRACE.. NARROW, CLAUSTRIPHOBIC SEATS CAN NEVER BE COMPENSATED FOR BY FOCUSING ON BETTER WUALITY FOOD SERVED....... THE CONFORT OF THE SEATS AND THE WIDTH & PITCH OF THE SEATS ARE WAY MORE IMP. THAN FOOD THAT TK IS FOCUSING ON... WILL NEVER FLY AGAIN EVEN IF THE PRICE OF BUSINESS CLASS SEAT IS SAME AS ECONOMY CLASS..... JAL/ QATAR/ EMIRATES HAS WAYYYY MORE COMFY SEATS

Terrible. Delayed. No one would help. Just limped about like a piece of meat

It was great except my luggage was C severely damaged over i picked it up off the carousel in London. . A suit case that had been used once does no longer have the use of the extendable arm as it’s broken

About an hour delay but we made it to Chicago. I feel that the smaller connecting flights are the ones that cause the delays on the bigger planes that fly international.

I liked everything: the work of the flight attendants, the work of the crew, the frequency on the plane and in the toilet.

flight with heavy turbulence old boeing 777 rest wasnt clean dashboard doesn’t work

Food wasn’t nice and doesn’t have halal option

Bad experience; they are not good anymore. They charge too much for luggage seat are so uncomfortable, Flight delays which may miss your next flight, they don’t care if you miss the flight or not. Zero customer services for front desk representatives Istanbul's airport I’m not using this airline any more.

Aircraft you use on this route are always old and poor! This drives the entire experience down

Moved me away from my family and refused to fix it.

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 .

Bad. Cancelled and delayed flight. Payed 25£ for seat but got just normal one. No one refunded the money.
