Complaint and COMPLIMENT

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I was due to return from the UK to South Africa on 16 June 2025, and as an older lady, I had treated myself to a premium economy seat. The evening before, when I tried to check in online, I was unable to access the app, which I tried repeatedly for hours.

I then made plans to arrive at the airport 4 hours early the next day, only to be told that the plane was overbooked and I would be downgraded to economy.

Erika Kerekes was so kind and helpful at the check-in desk and did her very best to sort it out. Thank you, Erika, I got my premium economy seat back at the gate!

Pros:
  • Helpful staff
Cons:
  • Overbooking flights

User's recommendation: Don't shoot the messenger!!

British Airways - No response or resolution

They owe me $1600 for a refunded trip. I've provided all the information showing I'm due a refund.

They say they refunded it but will not provide the transaction for the refund.

Please contact me at 614.581.7877 or a lawyer will be on the case. It's so simple to resolve.

User's recommendation: Never

Grievance Registration

I made payments for my delivery on the dates shown on the copy attached from Mukuru on the 25 th of November 2024 for home delivery which has not been done well instead the Agent in UK gave my package to an Airfight Attendant Evelyn Tobogo to deliver my package but she has not done so yet for 2 weeks now she is holding my package at ransom she is demanding USD$200 which I feel is out of the terms of reference agreed to for home delivery so I feel this is extortion and is out of order

My reference number:452

Full name:David Ncube

Date of payment for delivery:25 th November 2024

My home address 2193 Mainway Meadows

Mainway Avenue

Waterfalls

Harare

Zimbabwe

Please clarify if this is proper that I pay for this delivery twice

I feel this is unfair treatment from British Airways Company

User's recommendation: I recommend that everything about home delivery should be displayed on a checklist so that transparency can be achieved

Customer Abuse and extortion

I am having a problem with your agent in the UK who was handling my package with ref number: 452

AWB: 123-********. I paid for home delivery a long time ago, but he decided to give my package to an air attendant, Evelyn Tobogo, who is tasked to deliver my package in Zimbabwe, Waterfalls, Mainway Meadows.

I am surprised she is demanding USD $200.00 for home delivery, which I paid already. She has been holding my package for more than 10 days because she says I have to pay her to do home delivery to my Harare Waterfalls home in Zimbabwe. I feel this is extortion because British Airways cannot charge twice for a package already paid for.

Please explain your policy about what happens when you are contracted to deliver a package. Do you give it to an air flight attendant to deliver my package?

Pros:
  • It is efficient and good mission statement
Cons:
  • Confuse customers by not accepting ldc costs in some cases they have it all paid before shipment and sometimes they want that payment done at destination this complicate simple business practice

Preferred solution: Deliver product or service ordered

User's recommendation: British Airways must not subcontract a Flight Attendant to do home delivery

Delayed luggage

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I flew from Heathrow to Milan on May 13. I was encouraged to check in my carry on because of full flight.

Since my wife had a checked bag I decided too. It was checked in a full 2 hours before the same time as my wifes.

It is obvious that it was separate from paid check in as there were 6 others in the same boat. I forgot to transfer my meds I have serious heart issues if it does not come by today in trouble

User's recommendation: Don’t accept free check in
