British Airways Review

I have just got back from England, visiting family, on British Airways.  I have used them for the past 22 years of visits.

Even though they have cut back on some of the extra special treatment, they used to give us, the quality is still higher than most of the American airlines.

I was able to go on-line before my visit and put in my passport, visa details, etc., and 24 hours before get my seat.  I was able to get one with extra legroom, which was wonderful.

The flights were on time, the food was a dinner and breakfast going out, and lunch and a snack tea, on the way home.

We had individual television screens and movies on demand.  This meant I could choose my own movies when I wanted to see them.  I watched 4 on each flight.

The drinks are free, including spirits, wine, and beer.  They came around with orange juice and water throughout the flights.

Landing and customs cards were given out and a video showed you how to fill them in.

The flight attendants were really helpful and when I had a problem on my return journey they sorted it out for me and upgraded me.

British Airways prices seem to be a little higher than other carriers, but they do a non-stop flight from Tampa to Gatwick, and that is worth paying a little extra for.

I have had lost luggage 3 times in 22 years of flying with them, but that is to be expected.
