The payment system was not working so was unable to connect wifi the entire flight

everything to do with KAYAK was terrible. Your customer facing departments are utterly useless, timewasting and unhelpful.

I ordered short ribs for main course. It tasted sweet, really sweet. Horrible.

Our luggage didn’t arrive with us, that puts a damper on the whole trip.

The screen didn’t work and I didn’t get the seat upgrade I paid $300 for. They were no help with that,

Paid $180 for seat selection, and selection essnt honored. Have to call for a refund.

Was 3 hrs delayed and my poor friend I met in Barcelona was waiting at airport for 3 hrs. Dallas airport was awful

The internet was horrible. Plus they charged me $25 for service that didn't work which should have been free since I'm Concierge Key. The flight attendant Rick Young was excellent. Greeted me by name and very attentive.

I paid for business class…. And was counting on the usual packet of toilettes to be provided. They were not because not enough were brought on the plane so they could t give to some and not all. So no tooth brush nor eye cover. Then NO coffee since there was no hot water. The lay I er too short because of delays and my luggage didn’t make the next flight!! It is now a day later and I am awaiting to hear if my bag has arrived. Very inconvenient!. I suppose I need to be glad that I spend over $4000 since I doubt those in coach or premium economy even made that next flight..Heathrow is the worst.

The crew could not have been more helpful, my meal was excellent, I slept peacefully until right before landing, and the BA lounge was a godsend. The only negative I encountered was the coffee both on the plane and in the lounge. Not to my taste but that’s a personal preference.
