Flight was delayed many times. The crew was friendly but you eleven had to buy headphones to access the movies in the plane. $8 is not a lot for one person but it is when you travel with all your family.

Flight was delayed many times. The crew was friendly but you eleven had to buy headphones to access the movies in the plane. $8 is not a lot for one person but it is when you travel with all your family.

The food took two hours to be delivered to my seat, when I'm on an overnight flight I want to sleep asap after take off

Flight left 2 hours late with no explanation as to the delay

I like everything. Blythe at DCA is the absolute best!

Whole experience was poor. Delayed 2 hours. Lied about the delays. Was all jet blues fault and tried to blame on air traffic control. Sent out other let trips and wouldn't allow people to switch aircraft.

My bag was not loaded on my flight. it was not communicated to me until i was waiting for my bag at my destination. there was no confirmation of when my bag was arriving and no way to track it.

The gate attendant in Boston had a high raspy voice and spoke much too fast to be understood. Not pleasant.

It was fine for what it was. It’s not luxury travel but it was efficient, for the most part. Having my carry-on transferred into luggage however, was unwelcome.

We had better-than-average leg room and I loved the access to shows and movies. During boarding, we could not hear the agent even though we were close to the boarding door, which was kind of scary when we realized that half of the passengers had already boarded. Also, the entertainment was awesome, but I could not hear the movie as well as I would have liked, because my headphones were crappy. It would have been better if I could connect my own ear buds via Bluetooth or if JetBlue provided headphones.

I was seated next to an autistic child who was out of control and had a child behind me kicking my seat for most of the trip. I will never fly JetBlue again. Ever. I don't care how cheap it is. It's terrible.

We waited at BOS at the gate for an hour and couldn’t get a drink or anything. Once in the air the service, food and ride was excellent.

I travelled in business class and was disappointed by lack of service, curt and borderline rude time of the crew and to top it off, all of my luggage was delayed. It was like pulling teeth to even report the missing luggage and recover it the next day from the airport.

The seating has become ridiculous… like a contest to see how narrow and short they can be made- forcing anyone over 5’1 to pay more to not be twisting oneself into a pretzel. Really insane- would have thought BA was better than this. Frankly- it cancels out a lot of the positive aspects.

Online check-in 24 hours in advance something seems not so easy to check in to pick seats and to print a boarding pass

My experience with British Airways is excellent, thanks for all 🫶🏻✈️

They took my carry on and checked it in. Staff in general at Heathrow are not friendly or helpful

5 days later I have not yet received my luggage so terrible and unacceptable

It would be great to have at least two choices for a food, instead of just plain pasta 😏

Lost luggage l try contact the airline no answer FILE REFERENCE# CHQBA10196/14 SEP24/ 1043 YEE JAMES FLIGHT/DATE - BA202/13SEP/BA666/14SEP NUMBER OF BAG - 1 TICKET NUMBER- BA219096982 COLOR/ TYPE - BLACK DUFFEL/ SPORT BAG TAG NUMBER - BA401690/

Didn’t even get on the flight!! BA had a system crash and knocked many peoples boarding passes back for the connecting flight which we all would have made but ended up missing due to being refused past the barrier. There was one member of staff on and when he shift swapped the new staff member called us liars and that we were going to be too late for our flight hence the knock back which was false. I was an hour and ten minutes early for my connection flight at the time of scanning the boarding pass. Waited for three hours and ended up having to book a train home myself which was 4 hours long! Staff were useless and entire experience was an inconvenience. I had been travelling for three months and of course it was when I was back in my home country that I had the first muck up! Will not be touching BA to fly again
