Just how I like my premium travel reviews: with a shed-load of booze - a healthy amount of monotone sarcasm and a good splash of light-hearted disdain. And lets be honest, this guy deserves major props for not requiring his stomach to be pumped upon landing. This is my kind of middle-class high-functioning borderline alcoholism and quite frankly, I'm here for it.

ABOUT TIME someone did a flight review with the ultimate goal of drinking through the entire menu....you LEGEND!!

Super report, one of the best I've seen. Full not speeded up take off and landing sequences, the best parts of any flight. A real hero went through the entire drinks menu in seven hours, wow!

Finally, a proper introduction into wining and dining in the air. Thanks for sharing this amazing 39 minutes. Subscribed.

As a native of Huddersfield, my ears pricked up when you mentioned it. Were not often featured on such an esteemed platform. Glad you were able to dine as you glided past .. :)

so pleased to have just discovered this site. Heartily applaud your quest to quench your thirst (surprised how steady the camera is).

This is a properly entertaining review, a refreshing change on the palate from the usual generic aviation reviews

Very entertaining video - love your witticisms and keenness to sample everything on the alcoholic drinks menu. A subtle reference to Fawlty Towers w.r.t. Waldorfs.

Nice. You also passed the most important test (for me) and kept your face off the screen. Seriously, the amount of reviews I watch where the the reviewer seems more interested in getting their face on the screen than showing me the product or location I have come to look at is unbelievable. I simply don’t care what you look like or what color (aurtocorrect, I know how to spell that word with a ‘u’) your skin is, and I don’t understand why anybody would. Keep it up.

You certainly kicked the arse out of that wine list, was disembarkation by way of a stretcher? lol

As a Down Under person, I congratulate you on a bloody great video. You'll be beating us at cricket next !

Best part of flying First with British Airways is certainly the crew ❤🇬🇧❤️

OMG. "Down below is everyone else", "Enhanced out of existence". I have to stop drinking while watching this. And I am stealing some of these lines. This is great.

Loved the commentary - very Clarksonesque…one of the best commentaries…in the world.

Can we appreciate the heroic effort of continuing to do his job MANY glasses after his obvious sweetspot?

Best review in ages, You sir, clearly enjoy a tipple, genius way to review it, kept me entertained enough and chuckling away enough, to forget to fast forward the ads. great job. Subscription won

Absolutely love this review. Finally, someone traveling in First who doesn't take themselves too seriously. Refreshing change from the usual "look at me, I'm in First" style of reviews that are all-too-common on KZfaq. You've just gained a new subscriber!

I started flying in 1969.............there was never any question............they were all good. I won't even fly anymore unless I absolutely need to.

I'm only half way through, have to feed the dog, but I love your commentary. I'm never quite sure whether it is tongue in cheek or not but it makes me laugh all the way through. And you love your wine like Keith Floyd and all us other happy gastronauts ! Top marks for describing the cabin crew as obsequious, a word sadly neglected nowadays and also this sentence "The best walnuts I've ever had in a salad" is a classic. So much so I might steal it for my videos ! Right, you are about to take off and I have to feed my dog ... again ! I'm more servant than the cabin crew .... back soon. PS One day later finished the video, brilliant. I do like the fully flat bed for when you can relaxed after getting as tired as a newt. Good work BA !

Another Withnail fan, always good to see. ISTM that BA's still too patchy to risk unless you have to go somewhere.

that view of the triple 7 (777) when yiy were looking out the window just shows you can see a full view its amazing!

I always love your videos and vicariously travel through you. You had quite the drinks selection on that flight. Could you still walk on disembarkation? Thank you for another great trip report.

Hawkes Bay isn't in Marlborough mate. HB is in the North island and that wine is grown a few kms out of Havelock North. A pretty sweet spot. Marlborough is top of the South Island.

absolutely brilliant, I love the 'leaving las vegas' approach to first class. The best, exactly what I would do. Please keep traveling and reviewing, your reviews are the best. Let's hope the liver holds up for more :)

Glad the A380 is back. I was concerned that they would be permanently dropped due to the pandemic.

Just discovered you, love it!!!!!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!! The DC Metro Silver Line is now available for direct access to and from Downtown DC!

Well done again on a great video ! You make it Very enjoyable to watch and give us a sense of your experience from the front end !! Fly safe !!

Love the British humour and drinking everything in sight, very entertaining 😅

Great review. That’s the way to do it! Glad they managed to find a fitting glass for the delicious looking gin and soda thingy.

I’m disappointed with the lack of wines consumed in this video

Best review ever. Doing it this weekend. Many thanks. had me chuckling and slurping in equal measure

The Washington Metro (WMATA) will soon connect the airport to their silver line to downtown DC. The stations, tracks, etc are already built. It’s expected to be fully operational this summer 2022.

Very good indeed. Did my first 380 First class trip just before Xmas 21. I could not fault the food or drink. The crew did a sterling job. The Concorde lounge is just the best. Since then I have attained my GGL status. So will be making use of that lounge on every trip out of T5 at LHR. (no matter what class I'm flying). I'm into JFK in June, so will be trying the Concorde lounge there. Fly safe.

Looking like a great flight and services. Great video and thank you.

A pleasantly entertaining video in every way. Loved watching it.

I like to play ‘count the units’ when watching your vids.. but I lost count after 30 on this one 😂 good skills indeed! Love all the English wines (didn’t realise we had so many vineyards) Hilarious commentary on this one - made me LOL 😂 and you must’ve watched Withnail on the flight? Just a wild guess! 😜

Did they have any gherkins in first? If so, you may want to hop in the jar to keep them company. After all, you must have been well and truly pickled by the time you landed in Dulles. 🙂Your dedication to reviewing the wine list was very impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Nice vlog, loved your appreciation of English Sparkling. Washington Duels is actually pronounced Washington Dull ess. Hattingley Valley now has a Chardonnay called Still that is quite delicious and not like all those oaky, buttery ones.

Brilliant!!!!...what a review. Best I have seen on youtube. It has always gripped my shit why nobody hits the sauce during their flight reviews, especially when they are in the premier classes..."ooo i dont drink on a flight its gives me headaches...or i like to feel fresh on the aircraft" .....bollocks its the main reason for booking first and business ( if you forget the seat that its) , saying that I get hammered even in the cheap seats. Keep the vids coming. Cheers!!!!!

really enjoyed the video - hope you enjoyed the trip :)

I wanna fly with this guy! Lost count of the amt of cocktails and wine which is my style!!!!

Probably the most unique and interesting travel reviews out there, especially when elaborating about the wine list. As usual, top notch information. Thanks!

Hello, Great video and I love trip reports when drinking is involved. In no particular order Wine, Champagne and Bloody Mary's, either Vodka or Gin, are my go to drinks at lounges and in the air :) Of course excellent food too! I'll look for your other trips soon. Take care, Mike from Chicago.

A very entertaining video - thankyou! Really enjoyed it.

"Crushed by peasants" 🤣 Love the sarcy commentary 😅

Tired as a newt - brilliant.

Hawkes Bay is in the North Island NZ. Marlborough and HB, completely different areas of New Zealand!

This is so funny ! Love this ! All of those wines ! Excellent review. 👍 Have you ever been aircrew mate ? You seem very clued up.

Well at first I thought what a c#$#@ but absolutely loved you sarcastic delivery glorious 😊

quietly sophisticated cabin furnishings .What would loudly sophisticated look like ?

Love the IranAir plane sitting at Heathrow

Great stuff. You have a spiffing voice. What a great concept to drink your way to the USA. By the second cocktail you must have been feeling no pain. And no responsible service of alcohol nonsense.

Shure the crew were jolly. They more that likely couldn't believe people would even travel 1st class. Or any class come to that. Entertaining vlog though.

I gave up on BA but you have restored my faith a little - I always fly first if its available

the main thing that bothers me about booking first or business is you never no weather your going to get the old or updated cabins

Loved the review but really was hoping to see the bed and mattress topper they give.

Love your video and voice over commentary. Do you do this professionally as you sound exactly like the voice on all my firm's training videos?

🥰 Love your voice! May I ask which part of the U.K. you're from? The video is beautiful!

I must say very well done to you 😊

Brilliant review and video, made me giggle.

Business class Seattle weird back forward

NICE video making and nice idea of doiing a voice over after filiming the video i lovedd itttt!!!!!! :):):):)

Hello and thank you for this magnificent video. You mentioned in your video that you wanted to try all of the wines and cocktails. In your opinion what were the top three spirits? Thank you

The Hawkes bay is actually on New Zealand’s north island, not South Island and no where near Marlborough.. I should know cos I live in Marlborough

Good to see someone trying all the drinks. I'd prefer you focus on the food and drink as you told about it versus suddenly moving to a random shot of the engines or a in flight map. Also prosciutto is pronounced pro-shoo-too

great flight i enjoyed it greetings from the netherlands

Really refreshing review.. Almost Partridge

Enjoyed the video. Withnail and I references guaranteed the like.

You are hilarious! Love it, subscribing!

Great video. Has the second light meal replaced afternoon tea?

cracking review....fun stuff

HOW were you still upright after all that booze? One glass of red and I'd need help off the plane. Very well done, Sir.

I feel this review has merit as a drinking🥂🍾 game 🎉🫡😎

Thanks for sharing. Irritating voice over but turning the sound off helped. 🤫 🔇. How many calories did you consume that day? 😲

A380 first class or new 787 first class - which one is better?

My god man….how many drinks did you have??! You must have been completely pickled upon landing.

That lounge looks like a furniture store!

Veryvery good first-class plane o is good whole set O is Amazings Airplane Thankyou 😁👍🏻👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

The First boarding (and deboarding) experience at BA's hub at LHR leaves a lot to be desired when compared with others such as Lufthansa, Swiss and Air France for example at their hubs. I agree that the seats are reasonably comfortable... but I've yet to find a First seat that beats Swiss in terms of comfort, particularly for sleeping. 1A/1K in the A380 on BA I find are the most private, but the downside is that the crew frequently open and close the adjacent storage cupboard under the stairs during the cruise to get out bedding: they have irritatingly noisy catches! You do realise that the retail price of almost all the white table wines on BA's onboard First wine list is barely about 20 quid, and about 40 quid for the red Bordeaux? At least the LPGS is available to correct for that disappointment. The biggest problem I have with BA's wine list (and other carriers) is that zero attempt is made to select wines to match the food menu. I admire your fortitude regarding lubrication, I do exactly the same if I don't have any commitments.

Your commentary has made me subscribe hilarious 😆

Hawkes Bay is on the East coast of NZ North Island...not South. Re: Craggy Range

For first class the complete lack of privacy is terrible in my opinion especially with sitting right next to the aisle. You can just fly business class for a third of the price for basically the same experience. Qatar,Emirates,Etihad,Air France,Singapore Airlines all have pretty good privacy.

For 1st class, BA looks somewhat plain - compared to Emirates

How you are not carried off those aircraft from all the alcohol you consume have is beyond me.

A comprehensive quality review. I felt you could have trimmed it down by editing out every cabin announcement in full, & the extensive footage of taking off & landing. 39 minutes is quite an endurance test, as excellent a report as it was 🙏.

Which class did you fly again? First? Second?

Ha ha....best commentary over! Always love a british dry cheeky wit 😂

Just watched it again and that cheese platter is the best I've seen from bloggers on any airline. Normally they just do the whats expected. Ooh matron. KLM and Swiss with fine cheeses amongst them fail in that regard.

Hawke's Bay is actually North Island. 🙃

Excellent video. Just one thing; Hawkes Bay is North Island NZ. Cheers!

Your report is full of sarcasm masked as humour.

Love the commentaries from your videos, keep it up 👍😁

I would want the 1st class seat and service but not the poncey food and toilet cleaner err I mean wine (vile stuff)

UPDATE: The DC Metro's Silver Line extension to Dulles Airport has been opened as of December 2022.

We'd assume you arrived sufficiently intoxicated???

Legend!!!!

Great to see this video as did a similar trip a few weeks ago to Washington... wasn't an a380 but the spec was better, larger screen... it was a good flight, first time in first so the concorde lounge was a highlight. Washington however was fairly disappointing, after a few days I really had run out of things to do. I have 7 more first class flights booked with Emirates and Qatar so I have the travel bug for a few more travel experiences!

Which seats would you recommend for a couple in first?

The check in reminds me of how Thai air does it at BKK.
