Leave enough time for transfer! Especially when changing from T3 to T5. Heathrow is gigantic

Everything was fine regarding the actual flying. The only thing that was annoying is the quite long line and wait time at the check-in. BA policy is good and somewhat better than some other airlines ridiculously strict and limiting baggage rules. Heathrow is a giant airport, so those who are connecting should know that it takes a long time (almost 2 hours) to change terminals. There are lots of passengers, the shuttles are packed to the gill, and the buildings are huge, so long walking is necessary. Although the security is going pretty fast, there is no time to look around, so as long as people are aware of it, it is fine. I think one of the best and most passenger-friendly airport in Europe is Schiphol in Amsterdam.

Heathrow airport is very inefficient and complicated to get around. You need at least an hour and 20 minutes between your flights to make any connection in time. I don’t think I’ll ever do any connections there in the future. Flying into it is fine if that is your final destination.

Everything was streamlined. Timely take off. Early landing. Great flight

Timely departures and arrivals. The seat was slightly forward leaning which made it uncomfortable

Flight was delayed by two hours and we then sat on the runway for another 40 minutes and circled Gatwick twice making it 3 hours later landing this is very poor compared to all the other operators I’ve flown with the outbound flight was an hour late

There were not enough staff and signage to direct people to Wizz Priority lanes for check-in and boarding. It didn't feel like we were Wizz Priority holders.

They boarded us despite knowing we wouldn’t be taking off for another hour and boarded us into a plane who’s air conditioning was not working properly. So we were sat in a hot plane for an hour with no access to the bathroom getting hotter and hotter. A little bit of communication between the teams would have avoided this.

I planned to be working during the flight but next to and in front of me there was a family (basically all around me) who had screaming kids all the way long and they were rude and the kid was kicking me as well and constantly wanted to grab my phone etc. I was so pissed, I didn't think they will travel priority so I didn't think they'll sit next to me but they did. I asked the crew if there is a chance for me to go to another seat far away from there...And they were so kind, immediately after take off they showed a seat for me that is far away from these people. I'm so grateful for this!!! I hate that I cannot figure out these things in advance. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO PAY MORE IN ADVANCE TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO FAMILIES W KIDS AROUND ME!!!!

If you don't want to pay a lot at check in desk, you need to use online check in tool, but you still need to go to check in desk to have it printed out. Then what's the meaning of "online check in"? Extra security check, as if 9/11 just happened!

This airline is routinely voted the worse airline in Europe for good reason. If you have an option, just avoid them.

Everything was great until it came time to pick up our luggage. We arrived in orly airport terminal 1, our luggage arrived in terminal 2. No signs to tell us, we waited for almost an hour before someone figured it out.

The plane was 5 1/2 hours late. Scheduled for 19.50 take off - Actual take off 01.30am
