Welcome to another trip report!
On August 9, I flew British Airways from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport to London Heathrow Airport. This was the first leg on my European trip that included flights on Brussels Airlines, Croatia Airlines, Lufthansa, SAS, and Air Greenland! I can't wait to upload those videos soon...
Anyways, British Airways economy product is hit-or-miss in my opinion. When I tried their premium economy product in April, it had some upsides and downsides.
I hope you enjoy this video!

Your footage of the London Bridge and Thames River, and the castle are well put together. The music is a nice touch as well. I was in London for about 5 days in May 2019 and loved it. Amazing views, and different than America. I also flew with British Airways, and thought they did a nice job. I'd love to go back to Europe one day, and your videos give me a glimpse of traveling, which is nice. Keep up the good work 👍

I flew to Florida from Gatwick in the summer on a Virgin 747 (economy), frankly, it looked pretty much identical to BA. You get a seat, you get some food, you get some entertainment on a small screen in front of you, it takes hours.

Cool video. I have done the SFO-LHR route several times on BA, and to your point, it was very hit-or-miss. When they were still flying the 747-400's, it was mostly a miss in Economy. However, since the A380's came online for that route, it was a definite hit for me--I paid a little more and always got one of the aisle and window seat pairs in the last couple of rows on the upper deck.

Great report as always Quintin. Quick suggestion. Music is good at times, but to be perfectly honest I much prefer when music is kept to an absolute bare minimum in trip reports, especially considering it played through nearly all of the taxi, climb, descent, and even meal service. A lot of us watch these videos to not only see how the trip was but also to feel like we're there, so music playing through most of the video kind of takes away from that. Just my two cents!

@alexmathews7658 3 жыл бұрын

Sad to see the ending of the B747 production. This my favourite aircraft. It's really sad to see it disappear. Maybe we can launch a worldwide campaign to ask going not to stop it.
