British Airways Trip Report flying from San Francisco to London onboard one of the British Airways Boeing 777-300ER on a lovely afternoon in San Francisco and a beautiful morning in the UK.
A very comfortable onboard the British Airways Boeing 777 from San Francisco to London Heathrow. The plane wasn't full so we were lucky enough to get a middle empty seat, which highly increased the comfort on this 10-hours flight.
After a beautiful review of San Francisco International Terminal, we boarded the British Airways Boeing 777 that would take us to London. We took off from runway 28R and made the initial climb over the San Francisco outskirts and the Pacific Ocean. We quickly made a right turn towards Canada.
On the first part of the flight, we found a lot of clouds as well as lots of storm clouds that we had to surround. But we were in winter, so how is it possible that we had storm clouds there? Well, you will find the explanation on the Trip Report as well! After 1 hour of flight, we enjoyed a beautiful Sunset over Montana, still over the US. From there, already in the night, we flew towards Hudson Bay, and then we entered the Nunavut region.
We flew across the Baffin Bay during the night, until we reached Greenland. From there we made a right turn that set us on direct course toward the UK. We overflew Derry and Belfast and crossed the Irish Sea towards Liverpool and Manchester. After a beautiful approach over the UK countryside, including one holding patter at a quite low altitude, we landed 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled at Heathrow airport.
Regarding the onboard service, British Airways is offering 2 warm meals on flights to the US west coast. The first one came 2h after takeoff with 2 options: chicken or pasta. The taste was pretty good; the only bad part of it was the bread, which felt like eating a stone. The second service, the breakfast, came around 1 hour before landing. It was a full warm English Breakfast with fruit. A very competitive service for a flight over the Atlantic. British Airways has clearly gone back to the pre-pandemic onboard service which really makes me really happy and clearly shows the path to follow for all the other airlines!
Now it's your turn!
Have you ever flown with British Airways? Which route? How was the experience? What do you think about the British Airways service? Have you ever been in San Francisco? Maybe in London? Have you ever flown on the Boeing 777?
Lots of things to talk about! See you in the comments!
