Find Cheap Flights from Tampa to London Gatwick (TPA - LGW)

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.

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.

It got cancelled

Can elled

Nothing stands out. I am overwhelmed by the mediocrity.

Nothing stands out. This was a commuter flight, which means no leg room, no space, and no frills.

The flight attendants were warm and attentive, the pilot was reassuring when there was some turbulence.

Some of the inflight entertainment was the same as on the flight travelling to Tampa.

Food this time round was poor and tasteless. Breakfast is a waste of time. Entertainment needs changing been the same for months. Online check in as per initially was not working. Same old. BA as a whole needs new energy and a overhaul to get with other international airlines, as falling behind.

Dealing w kayak and all related parties in advance of flight was a NIGHTMARE. Very confusing w 3-4 layers of companies, reservation numbers, confirmation codes, etc. Will Never deal w kayak again.

Crew

Delays

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

Frazer and service on flight was great

British airways in tampa gave us wrong info. Caused major issues for us in london gatwick

if i have an option i will never travel from BA

smelly bad food , airhostess not personable , worse wine , seats so bad , they they should travel once on Emirates and they will know ,

Boarding staff was confused and took al long time. The crew were nice enough but disinterested in serving us and were annoyed when I asked for a few crackers or bread to help with a stomach ache. Never got any. I had to get up several times to ask for water. Comfort was ok and plane was warm enough. There was several people who came and sat down next to me in the open seat, 6 or 7 different people who left their own seats elsewhere on the plane and came to sit next to me in the open seat. One woman brought her child over, asked me to love another seat over, so her child could lay down and put his feet in my lap. Then, when Inledt for the ladies room, she left him there to kick the seat in front of him and throw his tuna fish sandwich pieces on me and on the floor. I never agreed to play nanny to her child and after I'd paid $750 for a one way ticket from TPA to AMS, I didn't think I should have to. The mother gave me an earful of her bad language when I asked her to take care of her own child and take him and his fishy tuna sandwich back to his own designated seat. I had asked a male flight attendant to handle the situation, neither he nor the other staff, who stood by, cared that it was disturbing me, or that the other passengers were playing musical chairs with empty seats all night. I have flown British Air more than 100 times in my life. For 35 years it was my go to airline for step up in quality, service and class. This time I could have flown several other airlines that would have been $379, $400, 547, 650 for the same flight TPA to London Gatwick then AMS, instead I opted to pay a little more and thought I'd get a little more. Not any more on British Air. Other passengers on the flight were rested when they arrived. Not me, I was tired and disappointed and kicking myself for paying more to fly British Air. This is sadly understandable, as all quality is down with alot of airlines. But it's particularly disappointing that I'm saying that about British Air after all these years. I have only complained one time to an airline over 30 years. This will be my second time. I plan to send this complaint to British Air and ask for a refund.

The airflight attendant was very helpful.

The seat narrow as a tall large man was sitting in the middle

Consistent service

In cabin was too hot... and I left behind a favorite scarf....

The crew was excellent. Very attentive and witty. One flight attendant in particular went out of her way to take my 4 year for a walk to get snacks to give her something else to do. We also boarded the plane first as we had young kids which gave us ample time to settle our carry-on luggage and the kids before the rush of other travelers.

Not enough legroom in coach for families dealing with young kids where these kids invariably want to be in your lap and then ppl in front of you want to recline.....it is just uncomfortable. The other thing is that my trip to Barbados did not have the in seat TV and try as I might to download the plug in to my Surface so that I could watch from their Westjet connect it would not work so that made it difficult to help with passing the time with my kids. I am also a strong advocate for a decent meal on any flight more than 3 hours. I should not have to purchase meals after spending all that money on a plane ticket.
