About British Airways (from Wikipedia):
British Airways plc (BA) is the flag carrier airline of the United Kingdom. It is headquartered in London, England, near its main hub at Heathrow Airport. The airline is the second largest UK-based carrier, based on fleet size and passengers carried, behind easyJet. In January 2011 BA merged with Iberia, creating the International Airlines Group (IAG), a holding company registered in Madrid, Spain. IAG is the world's third-largest airline group in terms of annual revenue and the second-largest in Europe. It is listed on the London Stock Exchange and in the FTSE 100 Index. British Airways is the first passenger airline to have generated more than US$1 billion on a single air route in a year (from 1 April 2017, to 31 March 2018, on the New York-JFK - London-Heathrow route).
About Boeing 777 (from Wikipedia):
The Boeing 777, commonly referred to as the Triple Seven, is an American long-range wide-body airliner developed and manufactured by Boeing Commercial Airplanes. The 777 is the world's largest twinjet and the most-built wide-body airliner. The jetliner was designed to bridge the gap between Boeing's other wide body airplanes, the twin-engined 767 and quad-engined 747, and to replace aging DC-10 and L-1011 trijets. Developed in consultation with eight major airlines, the 777 program was launched in October 1990, with an order from United Airlines. The prototype was rolled out in April 1994, and first flew in June. The 777 entered service with the launch operator United Airlines in June 1995. Longer-range variants were launched in 2000, and first delivered in 2004.
About Airbus A380:
The Airbus A380 is a very large wide-body airliner that was developed and produced by Airbus. It is the world's largest passenger airliner and the only full-length double-deck jet airliner. Airbus studies started in 1988, and the project was announced in 1990 to challenge the dominance of the Boeing 747 in the long-haul market. The then-designated A3XX project was presented in 1994; Airbus launched the €9.5-billion ($10.7-billion) A380 program on 19 December 2000. The first prototype was unveiled in Toulouse on 18 January 2005, with its first flight on 27 April 2005. It then obtained its type certificate from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on 12 December 2006.

Honestly, as an airline pilot myself, we've discussed the whole long haul/seatbelt issue a lot in the flight deck. At the end of the day the responsibility is always going to be on the flight crew Dan, so we have to consider the signs depending on severity of turbulence. What possibly should be implemented (which many pilots feel is the case) is a dual mode seatbelt sign, one in red and one in amber. The red is for take off and landing and severe turbulence where you have to stay in your seat and fastened. And then the amber is up to your own comfort level to go to the bathroom or not, but to have it fastened whenever in an upright position, and that then stays on throughout the flight. Great content as always though.

@jblyon2 Ай бұрын

At least domestically in the US most flights seem to be handled this way, unofficially. The seatbelt sign stays on, a lot, but they let people get up and move around as they please. When there is legitimate danger, or the possibility of it (e.g. the flight up ahead reported significant turbulence we'll soon hit ourselves), they make announcements and get rather forceful with making people stay seated. As a passenger I would love to see the dual mode light you suggest be adopted.

@esgee3829 Ай бұрын

what about seatbelt announcements only during non-sleep hours? Seems like this may have been the case on some/all airlines some time ago but now they (nearly) all make announcements regardless of time. And this would only require policy change/training and no further hardware installation on top of that.

@kenfischer3134 29 күн бұрын

I had also conceived a green/yellow/red seatbelt system. I think there are a lot of times when yellow would be the appropriate signal, but all we have is on/off.

I fell for the allure of BA and booked a business class flight on the A380 from DFW to LHR. I'll never fly BA again. Given the price of my ticket ($8k USD), I expected to have an exceptional experience. Sadly, my experience was truly disappointing. The service was barley average. The food was good, my seat rattled the whole flight, the Wifi was down, and somehow they managed to lose my luggage, and claimed they couldn't find it for 3 days. I suspect the employees of BA are angry with their employer, so they're sabotaging the customer experience. Sadly it's working because I'll never book with BA again.

You should give BA another try with the a350 or 777, and never book one way as they increase the price like all airlines to encourage round trips. Also, try and book when you're on holiday as the US is always expensive, i paid 1k GBP (around 1300 usd) for LHR -> JFK business class.

I’ve just flown back from JFK to Heathrow last week with Virgin Atlantic on a red eye and they announced that they wouldn’t be giving verbal announcements for seatbelts and asked if people were awake to keep their eyes on the signs in case the captain turned it on, obviously they asked if you wanted to sleep to keep your seatbelt on so they didn’t need to wake you but thought the no announcements was a good touch from them

I got to fly business from sfo to lhr on British air a couple of weeks ago for a business trip, on the return trip I got a deal to upgrade to First with < $700 which felt like a steal so I took it. The business class to LHR was quite good as I didn't expect much from BA (chose it mainly due to frequent flyer consideration at first), comparing with ANA business it had more leg space which was nice. It was a comfort flight which I slept well for around 6-7 hours. My colleague did say their door couldn't close easily and had to have a FA to close it together with him. On the return trip First class was actually underwhelming, the window seat I chose couldn't recline so I had to be reassigned to another one :( overall the First didn't seem much like a big improvement from business, but can't complain for $650 upgrade deal lol. Also when it came to get out from the plane, I think a few First passengers got confused and thought there were no exit in front of First that we could use and went to line up for the exit for business, but turns out there was but no FA reminded😂Overall I would fly business on BA 777 again, and maybe will pay for it if the price is reasonable for personal trip, but the First class needs some more work to make it worth it.

I did spot pre-departure orange juice ready to go in the business class cabin when I boarded the plane on the Heathrow to Pearson leg. The in-flight meal was better on my Pearson to Heathrow leg, but service was perfectly satisfactory on both legs to make my first solo travelling journey feel smooth and comfortable (and lucking out to be in an emergency exit row with unlimited legroom for both legs was a cherry on top). I enjoyed my experience in economy class and I wouldn't mind flying with them again, maybe on Premium Economy to see what that experience is like!

Speaking of Seat Belt Signs, I flew LHR to SAN last month. I noticed that the seat belt sign did not switch off when we reached cruising altitude. Speaking with a couple of crew, I asked, "Are we now much more cautious about turbulence?" One of the attendants whispered, "Since those really bad turbulence events in the past few months, everybody's a bit on edge about turbulence, and people get injured when they're not belted in." Even the captain said in his welcome chatter. "It looks as if we won't be flying through any areas of turbulence, except perhaps over North Eastern Canada," That was a first for me: A "Turbulence Forecast." LOL.

13:45 half agree. During typical sleep hours, it's best they not make announcements. I feel like that's what most airlines used to do. However, I do think it's best considering many recent episodes of severe turbulence with relatively little forewarning resulting in severe injuries requiring hospitalization (and at least one indirect death from mi) that the sign be switched on as soon as moderate to severe turbulence is anticipated or being experienced. But I think the announcements should be treated like sirens on emergency vehicles - only use them when necessary when cars and people and bikes are around on the road.

I was once upgraded to BA business class from premium economy on the 787-8 for a 6 hr flight to Montreal. I was excited and then voila you get these club world bucket seats with aisle access and it was so “not private” , flimsy screens dated back to 1980s. Food was good but the 3 courses were shoved in so quickly it didn’t let me fully absorb the experience. I would love to try the suites on 777-200 or A350 next time

You should try Gulf air economy again. Didn't know a middle-eastern airline that wasn't etihad,emirates or qatar airways could be so good. They even offer free wifi for all economy passengers on 787 which is fast enough to let me video call 30,000 feet in the air!

Premium Economy on BA , Riyadh to Edinburgh, about £1200 return. Change of date for the return leg, an additional £1400. Forget it BA, flight cancelled, and booking with Qatar, now and in the future.

Hi Dan, I hope you can review Philippine Airlines. As with any airline, there are good and bad, but an honest review I think will make them want to improve.

Next time you're in LHR T5, you can got to the Macallan shop (on the upper level). They have one of the 81 year old whisky bottles on display. The bottle and holder is a work of art... and the cost is well over €125k. Not often you get to see it (can't taste it though!)

I flew them on Premium econ from Denver to London back in February. It wasn't bad, but also not really anything special. The dinner was good (my wife had beef stew, I had Chicken tagine, both were good), the breakfast was literally just a bacon roll which wasn't bad. It was on the A350 and the 350 is a great aircraft. On the DEN-LHR route the only two choices are BA and United, and between the two I would still opt for BA. I also found the IFE to be a bit laggy, and the constant ads for Kitts & Nevis citizenship were a bit of a meme haha. We tried to get the first class experience on our train out of London on Avanti West Coast, but got to Euston with like only 10min before our train started boarding so no time for the lounge, and the on board catering was missing half items on the first class meal haha.

New BA business seats are so much better with aisle access, storage, etc. The old yin-yang seats are ok for couples, families etc. but very disappointing for solo passengers (although at least the A380 upper deck window seats have some storage). I'd not noticed just how grey the cabin was - definitely needs some colour.

@AKSH2022 Ай бұрын

Regrettably, British Airways is among the worst airlines I have ever flown with. I was once a Gold member but noticed a gradual decline in their service, which led me to stop flying with them. After nearly four years, I decided to give them another chance and tried their new business class seat. Unfortunately, the service was poor and the food was terrible, leaving nothing notable to mention. Additionally, most of the cabin crew were rude and impolite, giving instructions in a harsh tone without any semblance of a smile. At least I gave it a try, but I will never fly with them again.

Those cables you're talking about were called RCA cable. The red and yellow is Left and Right stereo. Usually the middle one is video input. Not sure if that's what it is bc those are usually blue. These have long been obsolete. I have no idea why they're there. I'm guessing it was for personal DVD players.

@jbennison5672 6 күн бұрын

Red and white are the audio. The yellow one is video (composite video). The blue one you're thinking of is likely component video which is just video sent over the 3 different colour cables (red, green and blue).

I've flown BA economy loads of times, premium once and business 3 times (once with Club Suites, once with the seat you had on the A380 and once on the even older model with smaller screens), all on the LHR to Toronto route. Your review is pretty representative of my experience. I've always found the cabin crew and pilots to be first class. Very friendly and helpful. The food has always been excellent. The old seats used to be great back in the day, but they are not up to par anymore and need to be retired as fast a possible to justify the high price they're charging. The Club Suites though....they are brilliant. I'd do that again in a heartbeat. The only complaint I have is that in 2024, why are we having to pay £19 for WiFi when we've already paid like £1200 one way for a ticket?! Seems very stingy to me and would be such an easy way to add to the premium experience.

Those connectors at 24:12 are called RCA connectors and they are used to transfer audio and video signals and were released in the 1930s so congrats on finding a relic of history! 🤣 You could use them to plug in your laptop to that horrible monitor. You'll see them often on older stereos or DVD players. I don't see any reason to bring those cables with you anymore unless its specifically for plugging into that and most modern laptops wont have the ports for it anyway so they should def replace that in the renovation

In the UK we like to eat and drink and our airports reflect this. I remember my fist time in Paris CDG i was shocked by the lack of food options, the over-abundance of designer stores and those tragic little "Relay" shops. The retail/food offering makes up for the fact that most of our airports are quite lacklustre in other ways.

Particularly the crew, who made the flights very special. Also, just returned from the Caribbean flying World Traveller Plus, and pleasantly surprised. Again, the crew were great. BA have all sorts of problems, mostly to do with their antiquated IT, but the actual experience on the plane is normally very good
