Really enjoying these videos on your channel! I was searching for videos showing BA economy to see what it’s like long haul and came across the Christmas flight you did to Singapore a year ago. Couldn’t help but have a further look on your channel as I really like how you documented the experience. Great work! 😄

WOW it has changed since last time on Virgin from Shanghai was they had own lounge on the lower ground - it was when they flew A340 and then they gave not only Upper Class amenity classes and Premium Economy and Economy with the cute rubber duck. Also they gave champagne as a pre-take off drink. OK this was 14 years ago and then they had hair dressers in the lounge in Heathrow. Great lovely lounge wear still use today

Another superb and very comprehensive trip review. I particularly like your on screen graphics which really help to highlight the differences between premium economy and economy. The flight was all going well until the second meal service! Such a shame as in terms of quantity and presentation it was so poor compared to the first service. I wonder if this is the norm or was the incorrect catering loaded at Shanghai and the crew tried to cover it up? Finally, i'm surprised you never read the inflight magazine. As an avgeek I love looking at the route maps and information about the fleet. There are often interesting articles written by flight crew too.

The route map is about all id look at (plus any fleet details!) the virgin fleets is fairly simple anyway these days so not much in there for me! I just feel the 1st meal was on point and the rest were just an after thought. Agree it all went well until then… mainly the final meal for me that was a let down. Unsure if it was an incorrect catering problem as they didn’t mention anything. Would be helpful if someone in the comments could help us there

Hiya! Great video! Really useful to see BA's offering. I'm hoping to go to Tokyo in March/April next year. When did you book your flights? At the moment a direct return flight is around £1000 but Air China is offering £650 for only 2 hours longer a journey (seems too big a difference to justify the extra cost!)

So we had a return flight on BA booked LHR-SIN-LHR with a companion voucher and then booked separate flights to Bali and back. Flying in the school holidays this was the most cost effective way to get there vs a connected itinerary on SQ or another airline. Thankfully the interline agreement means SQ could check our bags through

I would definitely choose Singapore Airlines over Air Asia. It's incredible what they offer in terms of service, comfort and amenities on a short flight in economy class. This is what flying shorthaul in Europe used to be like before lowcost airlines and I wish flying shorthaul economy within Europe could be like this once again. Thanks for posting this video.
