They managed to lose my bike and it took days to find it, with each day passing drawing nearer to the start of my race. It caused extreme stress (to me, clearly not them) in trying to find it. I should have been tipped off by the second rate service I noted once on board in San Francisco en route to Paris- they weren’t the upper crust one expects, and the on-board food was dismal.

The plane is so old First hasn’t been updated in years.
It’s 2019, how can a First product get away with an SD entertainment system that’s over 10:years old???

Whereas the seat was OK, the cabin crew was just awful. Not at all welcoming and they did not even try to make the flight in First a first class experience. But it’s very cheap compared to other airlines. What you pay is what you get.

Also the inconsistent between crews is huge, as there are multiple crew/contract types on different routes.

I totally agree that staff very low on the scale. True to typical british style there are a dozen apologies throughout the flight and most insincere and just a way to exit the conversation and go back to being out of sight.

The author of this “10 best” clearly missed the mark by forgetting how bad the rest of the product is… Terrible food comes first to mind with big fatty chucks of unrecognizable meat. My last 4 BA meals had “designer chef” meals and the only fee was that each item was on a separate plate and if combined would have all fit on a single plate with lots of spare room. I always land starving for a good meal. Eggs and mayo are in every dish (especially afternoon tea!)… Not something you want to eat after sitting in a galley for 10 hours.

What might be a closer 2nd failure are the terrible business lounges, not just in terminal 5, but their international locations abroad. I can’t tell you how many times I find the only food offerings to be potato chips, cookies and bananas. Seriously? That junk is worse than the snacks served in coach.

3rd,,, would be that BA doesn’t give a crap when you point this out to them. (which I do frequently).
