BA CityFlyer

✅ Verified Review | Zurich to London City Airport. No real business class experience. The gate for this short haul flight was very unusually at Terminal E, some additional 15 minutes away from the main terminal. Luckily I had only little hand baggage and had checked in on-line before, otherwise I would have missed the flight. Boarding was rather chaotic, no special lane for business class. The seats were okay, but narrow and cramped. As it was an early morning flight we got hot breakfast, with was disappointing in quantity and quality: the fruit salad looked tired, no muesli nor yoghurt. A disappointing experience, but rather typical for flights to City Airport.

✅ Verified Review | London City to Berlin Tegel. This is the first time flying with BA CityFlyer for about 10 years as they gave up the route to Riga. This was only short hop to Berlin but the service both on the ground and in the cabin was first class. The food was tasty, cabin was clean and tidy. The announcements were clear and concise. On arrival at Tegel, we were parked away from the terminal and buses to take us to the terminal were waiting as we landed and once in the terminal the bags were with us in minutes.

Great experience with BA CityFlyer from Mykonos to London City. Seat configuration 2 x 2, comfy seats, almost similar to a premium product. No inflight entertainment but with a relatively short flight at just under 4 hours that's okay. Would be nice to have a hot meal in economy in the evening, dinner was a chicken and potato salad. LCY a breeze to get through immigration, took less than 2 minutes and bag collection 20 and was on my way. Would highly recommend and hope BA operate more flights from here in the future.

✅ Verified Review | My wife and I flew Glasgow to London City on an Embraer 170. The flight was full and we left and arrived on time. These regional jets are ideaL for this type of journey, 2x2 seating with good leg room. London City is a breeze, out of airport onto the DLR, central London in 15 minutes.

My wife and I flew from Dublin to London City Airport in an Embraer 170. The flight was full and left and arrived on time. Drink and a packet of crisps given out. We handed over our cabin bag because of the full load and ended up waiting over 20 minutes at City Airport for it. Still got Victoria Station in half an hour.

✅ Verified Review | Madrid to Amsterdam via London City Airport. Very good flights with BA Cityflyer. Legroom and comfort on the Embraer were good, and I was impressed with the meal service from Madrid to London. A choice of meal tray with cold salad and desert was offered, and on every flight a second drink was offered. Crew was young but very professional and polite. Transfer at LCY was not great, we had to leave the airport and re-enter in just 45 minutes.

BA City Flyer is a slick operation out of London City, using the BA brand but often exceeding the general BA quality. My flight to Amsterdam was only 40 minutes long but they still managed to serve a hot breakfast to every passenger, including economy class. The business class breakfast was better than BA's usual standard (which is by no means bad). The operation of the flight was very slick, leaving dead on time despite starting boarding late and having to deal with getting a disabled passenger up the stairs into the plane. Landing in Schipol was a little early which was useful given how slow Schipol has become.

London City to Glasgow, and a excellent flight overall. On time, easily dispatched from LCY, so much better than LHR. Plane was clean and comfortable and seemed pretty new. Crew were friendly and efficient. We arrived 10 minutes early and bags available quickly at Glasgow. All in, an excellent experience.

Edinburgh to Amsterdam via London City, crew were friendly. Sadly the breakfast cut off had been passed so no hot BA breakfast, though I was able to grab some fruit and muesli in the Executive Lounge before boarding. LCY to AMS I was served the best meal I've experienced onboard : balsamic chicken with puy salad and figs. It did feel like a bit of a rush on such a short flight, but its hardly worth complaining. The E190 jets are comfortable. Same seats in business and economy, and large windows. So much better than the Airbus planes normally on British Airways flights. One downside is there is no BA lounge at LCY to wait in when transiting, so you have to make do with one of the cafes or the waiting areas.

BA Cityflyer from London City to Madrid. Stress free experience from online check-in to arrival. No departure or arrival delays, 15 minutes early landing at Madrid Barajas. Comfy seats, good complimentary sandwich and several drinks runs: we had a couple of wines each, bottled water and coffee. Very competent mixed British / Spanish cabin crew had a smile and a friendly word.
