The UNSURPRISING State of British Airways (24 HRS IN BUSINESS CLASS)

I slept like a baby on my last Allegiant flight..... I woke up every two hours screaming.

Honestly, as an airline pilot myself, we've discussed the whole long haul/seatbelt issue a lot in the flight deck. At the end of the day the responsibility is always going to be on the flight crew Dan, so we have to consider the signs depending on severity of turbulence. What possibly should be implemented (which many pilots feel is the case) is a dual mode seatbelt sign, one in red and one in amber. The red is for take off and landing and severe turbulence where you have to stay in your seat and fastened. And then the amber is up to your own comfort level to go to the bathroom or not, but to have it fastened whenever in an upright position, and that then stays on throughout the flight. Great content as always though.

Those colored ports are video/audio ports, used before HDMI became a thing. I have fond memories of plugging my iPod into the TV with those haha

I’ve just flown back from JFK to Heathrow last week with Virgin Atlantic on a red eye and they announced that they wouldn’t be giving verbal announcements for seatbelts and asked if people were awake to keep their eyes on the signs in case the captain turned it on, obviously they asked if you wanted to sleep to keep your seatbelt on so they didn’t need to wake you but thought the no announcements was a good touch from them

I chose BA not for the service, but for the safety. The pilot training, pilot culture, and maintenance culture is what attracted me.

I flied with BA recently from London to Pittsburgh, in Premium economy. Everything was great from the service to the food, execept for the Wifi which was not available.

I fell for the allure of BA and booked a business class flight on the A380 from DFW to LHR. I'll never fly BA again. Given the price of my ticket ($8k USD), I expected to have an exceptional experience. Sadly, my experience was truly disappointing. The service was barley average. The food was good, my seat rattled the whole flight, the Wifi was down, and somehow they managed to lose my luggage, and claimed they couldn't find it for 3 days. I suspect the employees of BA are angry with their employer, so they're sabotaging the customer experience. Sadly it's working because I'll never book with BA again.

Controversial opinion. I don't hate the Club World seat for one reason: I have always slept really well on it. Including, on the A380 to Miami!

You know it's good when you can connect your Nintendo Wii to a British 380!!!

i am so glad the old BA business class seats are finally going away. they are literally designed by an insane person, and they are the utterly worst.

If you’re saying BA is bad, I would say the seats and food are bad but the crew on most flights go above and beyond for passengers, a flight attendant even gave me a tour of the a380 mid flight on ba to go to Singapore

I think the saying goes something like: hell is repeating the same mistake over and over again and expecting a different result. Lol, I expect nothing less from BA these days. 😉

We’ve always had great experiences with BA. Love your content mate!

WAGAMAMA!!!! I love how you appreciate the way that you can shop for local-ish things when you're in transit airports. This is one of my favorite things- I always plan ahead for what food/snacks/knick-nacks I can buy in each airport I transit through - I find it such fun!

I think it is fantastically compassionate to blur people's faces out. Bravo 👍 👏

Fun Fact: I saw the teaser for the A380 review, and I was excited to see it before my flight. Sadly, my flight happened on June 25, but I think it is a really good business class (I rarely fly business)! Thank you for all your reviews as I use these to book my next flight!

These colourful connectors are called RCA connector, can be used to connect to computers and use that shaky display as an external monitor.

I enjoyed my business class trip from London>Seattle. Had no issues. Granted I'm pretty non fussed about anything. I had decent food, The bed was comfortable and they didn't bother me while I was sleeping. Only annoyance was Heathrow itself which seems to track.

Hi Dan! I'm a bit of a nervous flyer, and seeing how calm you were during the moderate turbulence made me feel a bit better about turbulence. Thank you!

13:00 That spot used to be my favourite in Galleries South back when they did not cover the windows. Previously you could see out the windows and see everyone going through security etc so it made for an interesting view but now you cannot see anything!
