Just searched for the premium economy of British airways and Glad I came across your video! Thanks for detailed review of BA PE.. This will help me while boarding to BA😊
There are some nice touches like the menu and the amenity kit which add to the experience and make it feel more "premium". Would be interesting to experience the seat and the service in a full cabin however as I generally find that lightly loaded flights are more enjoyable and the crew have more time to devote to each passenger.
Yeah too true. Should say, whilst I lucked out with a seat free next to me, I think it was only one of two free seats in the cabin :) You’re totally right though!
Sadly can't travel anymore due family members poor health. Love BA. My wife passed out on a daylight flight from Cape Town to Heathrow. We will never forget the kindness and caring from the Captain and crew. They even contacted us at our hotel a day later to ensure my wife was OK. Sadly BA no linger flies locally within South Africa.
That’s such a lovely story, hope you get back in the skies one day. They really are fantastic when the worst happens, it makes such a big difference especially when you’re far from home ✈️
Great video thank you. I’ve upgraded to World Traveller plus for myself and my family flying out of Boston for Heathrow early tomorrow morning so your video is perfect timing. 👍🏻 I’ve managed to keep it a surprise for them so hopefully some smiling faces. Thanks again.
Brilliant review.... I enjoyed Premium from London to Cape Town, and you are right, the Upgrade is very worth it. I do think having to pay for seat selection with BA is very cheeky though.
Thank you! Ahhh yes, right up at least as far as even business class these days, sadly it’s a widespread policy across many carriers these days. Thankfully with status, you can choose for free ahead of the flight (silver and above at time of booking) but not a great deal of help to those who don’t fly BA often! 😅
Another great review. Thanks for sharing. 👍 I used to fly via Abu Dhabi a few times a year and the old terminal was always so busy and crowded. I’m definitely looking forward to experiencing the new terminal.
You’re very welcome and thank you! Ahhh, I’m glad to have missed out on that. I’m a regular into Dubai terminal 1 which is so often absolutely packed in the evenings especially, I have that image in my head for how Abu Dhabi probably used to be!
I flew back from Washington on October Ba premium economy. Well the upgrade for the extra room, nice food and service. Also being served before economy means it's a restful flight at night. Thanks for a positive but honest review
I’m using BA PE nx month for round trip Dallas to Heathrow I did it on my return last year and was impressed as a free upgrade But paid this time Hopefully it will be worth the price
Hi thanks for sharing this review, i'm travelling next month with my husband to Cancun, it does give me a very good idea what to expect it does look worth it!
Think it depends a little on where you’re flying from. From the UK all too often the case, but not always price wise. I think they’re on an improvement journey for sure, it will however take some time… Thanks also!
I flew BA to Singapore on their A380 recently, the only problem on the flight was the AC was way too strong. It was so cold people were putting hats and jumpers on, asked cabin crew to turn it down, but they didn't do anything. It made a 13.5 hour flight even more unbearable.
Ohhh that’s grim! Cabin temperature I know can be a really contentious issue as those who like it cold would argue it’s easier to get warm than cool down in a cabin too warm however, it’s too suffered a Baltic experience with a number of carriers as it’s for sure not nice!
Totally agreed. The same as we flied PE on LHR/HKG in Aug. and the flight attendants even claimed they did not have any spare blankets for passengers. It was really unbearable and the attitude of FA was zero customer-oriented what so ever.
Only downside to your water starter, no sparkling/champagne camera toast! 😀 Another super review. BA PE is nice, but the seat recline may be too nice. If someone reclines in front of you, it can be tight. Still, if the premium over Economy is reasonable, it's definitely worth the upgrade. Btw, great to see your comments/subscriber count increasing - - very happy for you, it's well-deserved!
Haha I know right! Don’t worry, full service will be resumed in the videos ahead! Yeah agreed on the recline but given the additional 6+ inches of seat pitch, I’ve never found it to be a big issue thankfully. Thanks so much! Recent two videos have hit the ground really well, I’ll soon be switching up to 2 videos weekly (or thereabouts) so exciting times for the channel…
Brilliant review! Question on the dimmable shades- have you ever had the crew lock the flight so every window is dimmed at the same level? Drives me mad!
Looked a pretty reasonable service and that departure terminal looked very impressive. Last week I flew Club Europe with BA and was very dissapointed but even more so with Euro traveller on the return trip, almost total zero interaction from the cabin crew, if the flight was full I would expect it but with less than a 50% load factor, I expected better. Such a pity that one flight can lower expectations so much.
@@Travelsbydreamer Thank you but can you not recline in the other rows? I am very indecisive...or in the middle by the aisle, or last row by the aisle too. I like the fact not having anyone behind me kicking me but concerned with the toilet noise, smashing door, etc.
@@coloradocolorado1527 I’ve always found the recline on the rear row to be really good. Can’t speak for every aircraft of course but for me personally, I’d often book the rear. Only aspect that might put me off is the closeness to economy with potential for infants in the front row…
Thank you for the video! Do you (or anyone else) know if I can plug in my own headphones with a standard 3.5mm jack or would I need one of those airplane adaptors?
How did you find the IFE box under the seat, did it infringe on leg room or was it ok? Also did you see whether they were at every seat, or just row 17?
Didn’t find it an issue at all, so much so to the extent that I hadn’t even thought about it before reading your question so that’s probably a good indicator 😊 Didn’t look though, sorry. Worth checking out my video aboard the Dreamliner a year ago as on that one, I say further back and actually spent the flight across 2 rows so should give some useful insights!
Someone asked about luggage. I do things differently. I buy relatively cheap luggage. Always black..Then using glowing the dark road paint I carefully put my name, email and home address as well as my cell phone number on all six sides of the case. My taxi driver at Dublin Airport had no difficulty in finding us at arrivals. Nobody wants your luggage as you can't get the paint off the suitcase. If luggage is misplaced or lost at the airport mine will find it's way home.
Haha good thinking! I generally stand pretty close to where it comes out ready to jump on mine! The yellow touches to the level8 stuff makes it easy to spot thankfully
The video I've been looking for! Here's a question for you. I fly out economy to Orlando in September and then premium on the way back. I have been debating every day if I should update to premium on the way out. The plane so far looks only half full on the way out so was hoping to get a window seat and spread out across the two other chairs. If that works out to be the case would it still be worth the upgrade in your opinion?
Glad it was useful! Ooooo tricky one. If you can guarantee being able to spread over multiple seats it’s probably not worth it. I had a recent LHR - LAX on a near empty 777 and it was absolutely glorious. PE does get a larger entertainment screen, better food and priority check in / boarding so all aspects to consider of course. Not least more tier points too if you’re looking to push into the next category ✈️
@@Travelsbydreamer Thanks for the reply. All the above in PE are great but it's mainly the space I'm going for. I'm 6 ft and pretty broad. It's a tricky one.
would have been nice to have been offered a glass of fizz on take off. They have cut it down to water and orange juice. Last time I flew PE to Canada, they had run out of orange juice!
Yeah too true, such a shame to see them penny pinching on this front. Aware that sometimes due to ground restrictions they can’t always do the bubbles however, it’s few and far between you see them now as you say. Comparison vs Virgin’s premium economy going live on the channel soon and this for sure comes up!
enjoying the content! constructive criticism ( your obviously a frequent flyer and it would be nice to hear some actual feedback about these journeys eg you know that British Airways has a really poor premium economy, business and first product compared to its competitors, vocalising these would make you seem more authentic. Currently it feels like you are a sales rep for British Airways! Nevertheless Love aviation content and yours is no different! Keep up the good work
Thanks so much and appreciate the feedback! I’ve got an upcoming video where I compare British airways premium economy vs Virgin Atlantic premium economy, hope that goes some ways to address the BA sales rep fears haha
Yeah agreed. Seats still in good condition but they do really miss the calf rest! I have the latest offering on the channel also for anyone who wants to check it out aboard the 777 😃
I’ve never found it to be that inconvenient to be honest but it is a factor of these non hard shell designs. Can always take the bulkhead seats (front row) also 😊
Haha no worries. Yeah LEVEL8, I’ve been using them some time now. They have a lovely way of gliding along the floor and some really nice little features. Well worth considering.
Sure have, recent review on my channel. That was LHR - JFK a few months back. Yeah, you do often get a really good view, best to sit on the right hand side of the aircraft then most arrivals do come over the city 😃
On the whole we like BA. I'd say they need to improve their food. I've sent a few emails suggesting this but we still see that awful cous cous salad thing. When we travel to Orlando so many people leave it and its a waste. Premium cabin is nice for the space and the little touches. Wouldn't really pay the extra but if had avios then could consider.
Yeah with you all the way on the little couscous front, that does need to go! Premium economy comparison vs Virgin coming up in the next few weeks also!
As it's a premium economy review what was the space like once the seat in front of you is reclined & someone is next to you when you need to go to the toilet? 😉
Good question! Slightly compromised for sure as the seats do recline quite a way. Better than economy but whether you’d get out or not is tricky. The good news is that you’d only have to leap over one person 😂
@@Travelsbydreamer you only have to leap over one person on A330/340 in economy, l have flown it not worth the money, economy or business and not on BA
It does vary quite a bit. Typically, I’ll take it when it’s less than 50% on top of the economy fare, then I think it’s good value for money. If it’s much more then I look at economy or business class often 😊
@@Travelsbydreamer Thanks a lot. I am currently looking at flights in May 2025 from CGN/DUS/FRA to SFO and back home from LAS and came across an AA/BA offer where the difference between economy and premium economy was only around 150€ each leg. That does seem like a good deal then 🙂
Yeah largely however, being next to the big windows on the Dreamliner is pretty special, I’d also for sure look to avoid the middle seat in the middle too 😀
@@LukeTG1_TTV if you can get it less than 150% of the economy fare then I’d say so. So if economy is £500 my target price for PE would be £750. If much over then probs not - does always come down to price for me 😊
@@Travelsbydreamer thank you very much for your reply. Yeah A350 outbound so FR24 says and 787 on the return leg. Already did Toyko and Osaka this year (Jan) with KLM economy with my son and going back next year to see places we never got round to see.
I don’t like BA their premium economy seats for one reason, there is no full length leg rest, like Finnair for example, and that makes all the difference when it comes to fatigue. You mention it as the older seats, so the newer ones have it as that is a dealbreaker for me
That’s a really good point. Thankfully on their newer design they do. That’s available on much of their fleet now also, the 777’s, A350’s and 797-10 and now some refitted 787-8’s. I’ve got a comparison video between BA and Virgin launching next week, hope it’ll be of use! 😃
Thanks so much! That would be so amazing but I think would add too much extra cost 😅 Oddly, even business class just in front on this jet has a 2-3-2 config so you do get similar seat width to business 😃

I’ve got a comparison video between BA and Virgin launching next week, hope it’ll be of use! 😃
@@Travelsbydreamer oh cheers! I’ll take a look. Thx for the reply!
Have you flown Malaysia 🇲🇾 airlines
Is it really bad to not have the individual air vents above?
Hmm, I’m generally fairly relaxed however, when on the ground somewhere like Abu Dhabi, they’re often a god send 😃
@@Travelsbydreamer hahha thank youu!! I wish they weere mandatory in every aircraft
@@mylahf5479 I know right, they can be really useful especially if the cabin is set a little warm etc.
@@Travelsbydreamer BA cheaped out on any "options" in the passenger cabin's of their aircraft for about a decade now...
@@journeyingjohn3275 Wouldn’t shock me, especially after the deletion of screens on the short haul aircraft…

What About Malaysia 🇲🇾
Can u buy Duty Free cigarettes on flights
And I’d it cheaper
Heard I think BA were bringing back duty free sales but not a clue sadly!
Very good review again 😃 the configuration in the Premium Economy should be 2-2-2 🫨
Thanks so much! That would be so amazing but I think would add too much extra cost 😅
Oddly, even business class just in front on this jet has a 2-3-2 config so you do get similar seat width to business 😃
