Economy Class

I travel to the UK several times a year to visit my boyfriend. I've always flown BA, and my only complaints are their extortionate prices and seats which are difficult to sleep in (even when you're 5'0"). The staff have always been friendly and professional. I've always felt safe and calm when flying with BA, and I am not one who typically enjoys air travel. Overnight flights in economy are never particularly comfortable, but it could definitely be worse. The meals provided are good for an airline (I always stick to pastas), but the entertainment choices are sometimes limited (though very British). I've experienced a few delays and one cancellation, but typically we arrive in a timely manner. I just wish the flights were cheaper; it's rare that they fall below $1,000 round trip. But for a nonstop, transatlantic flight, I suppose that's not bad. There are definitely other airlines that do nonstop transatlantic flights for cheaper (Virgin, for one), but if BA is your only option it's certainly not a bad one. Personally I think you get less than you pay for in economy, but if you're not terribly picky and just want to reach your destination safely and decently-fed, BA's great. EDITORS COMMENT: Thanks for sharing your very balanced and informative review - great to read.
