Very attentive flight crew overall on British Airways BA121. On my way to London on Nov. 22, 2025 I became ill and one attendant was very helpful, later checking up on me twice after initially helping me.

Challenging to be comfortable in economy, especially trying to juggle drinks, foods tray, ear plugs, purse, pillow, blanket, seatbelt, etc..and I am not overweight. I couldn't sleep at all on the flight from Cincinnati to London (5 hrs) nor the return flight home (8 hrs). I swear the seats are shrinking.
