  • 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!

      I agree. Have flown this route several times over the past few years and I love the BA 747s. There is just something majestic about them; the B777 just isn’t the same.

      Most deffo! That sound (of the APU) that you hear when you're on the airbridge near the door is such an exciting thing! it makes my tummy butterflies jump...if that makes any sense?! Nothing like it, and only really works with a 747 don't you think?

    • @hectorruiz513

      There's certain emergency motor operation in the jet engine that allows to power the 747, otherwise there will not have power.

    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.

    I flew that airline and plane to Amsterdam Schipol last year. Terminal 7 isn't especially comfortable, but I felt it exuded a quirky charm. Both outbound and return flight segments were enjoyable, even in main cabin - staff were incredibly kind and helpful.

    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.
