We always fly to Orlando with BA we’ve always found the premium product very good and the service is always excellent!

Quickly scanning this. That lounge breakfast looked good, as did the onnoard catering - but I wouldn't pay a hefty premium for that class.

Good review. The 777 PE is better than on the 787. BA often get a bad rap, but I've flown their PE and the newer version of business a couple of times from the UK to Australia and I've always found the food and service to be good. I think they are trying hard to deliver a better product but they will always find it an uphill struggle as they compete with the money no option middle Eastern carriers.

Nice video, one piece of advice from a fellow amateur KZfaqr, try adding chapters to your video. It makes it very easy for viewers to navigate :)

Thanks! Wasn’t sure you could do this from mobile but I’ve now looked this up and have added them. Thanks for the tip!

I only fly premium for flights over 10 hours. Anything less I buy a better seat in economy. BA premium is a good product, however.

Yeah if you can book exit row in economy it definitely feels like enough space to get through a decent length flight. We did set a bit of a personal rule a couple of years ago though to always try and do at least premium for 7+ hour flights where possible (price dependent), and it’s made quite a big difference to how much we enjoy the start of a trip and definitely made it a lot easier to retain silver status to make those economy flight experiences better too

What would u say is a pro and con of premium economy is there much difference between the two

Certainly look as though BA are trying to improve their service standards in PE, but a long way to go before they complete with likes of Emirates etc, but certainly as far as most European trans Atlantic carriers they seem to be doing well.

@charlesontravels 3 ай бұрын

I guess as well there are very few routes where they would directly compete with emirates in premium economy currently and BA would generally at least have a price advantage to make up for any lesser quality in comparison. I’ve not tried Emirates PE yet, but seems like it can run very expensive for what it is

I am pleased that BA is now passing out pre-flight beverages (pre-flight fizz) in PE. We flew PE on BA in June 2023 and it was horrid (LHR to SEATAC). There were no pre-flight beverages at all and we waited quite some time for any beverages. The crew was rude and lay. They rarely picked up dishes and garbage. This was quite a negative change from our Economy seats in October 2018. THAT crew was so friendly and efficient! Unfortunately, we only had the choice of BA this year and did book PE and I hope things have improved. Basically, we were NOT impressed last June, especially when we had flown PE on Virgin Atlantic and had sparking wine served before we even sat down in our seats (SEATAC to LHR).

That sounds terrible, fingers crossed for a better experience next time!

Its a shame BA doesn't offer lounge access with the ticket, if you pay for it as an addon. I would be happy to pay £30-£50 each way for a long haul flight. The lounges just make the experience a bit more special.

Agree it would be nice, but in reality the Heathrow lounges are overcrowded enough as it is a lot of the time, so I wouldn’t see them introducing anything that’d make them busier even if it would bring in a bit more revenue. At least double tier points on BA hols make it relatively easier to get silver status from flying premium at the moment!
