I don’t think you’re wrong to point out that the seat was dirty. When I pay £3-4k for a seat I expect quality, good service and cleanliness. And climbing over someone is unacceptable these days. I try and avoid BA as their product is poor for the price point .
I do not know if you will see this but I agree 100%. I used to travel "Business Class" in the late 1990s and things were FAR BETTER, to be honest, I never fly with BA but with Malaysia Airlines, Qantas and American Airlines and everything was very nice. The most important feature was the amount of SPACE that you enjoyed; obviously, most airlines are now cutting corners in the most shameful way!
Possibly one shouldn't be at all surprised that British Airways introduce new passengers to dirty aircraft. However, is that really the standard that can be expected of a 'leader in international air travel'? Personally I'm rather more saddened by such unexpected squalor, than actually shocked. The cheap end of the market, in air transport providers, are the true aircraft 'turn around' specialists with barely enough time for re-fuelling and safety checks, plus just 20 minutes passenger boarding time allocated before taking off again. (Yes, a plane on the ground is not earning money. . .) It really isn't expected of the mighty and exalted British Airways, to rival the 'cattle herders' of air travel, but this must be what is now 'Brave New World', so suck it up and enjoy paying thousands of £££sss for the privilege of wallowing in a sty and a trough in the sky.
I paid £4000 for a basic economy seat. So, I think it's less about how much you pay, but rather what you are paying for - because whether you are paying £600 for your seat in economy or £4000 - it is still an economy seat.
As someone who can’t fly anywhere anymore due to health and financial reasons, 😢 to you I say, enjoy every moment of travel and holidaying that you can now. Don’t feel guilty of anything you get to experience. As others have said I too am enjoying experiencing this through your vlogs. Thank you for choosing to share this trip with others 💜 I really appreciate your efforts. I hope you enjoyed your time with your family 😊
When you say you are 'very, very lucky', I hope you don't feel guilty. You are sharing your experience with many thousands of people, including someone like me who is very grateful
I'll be honest I'm glad I've watched this. We go to Florida on November 26th, I was going to upgrade to business but theres no chance I'm spending that amount to scramble over someone's legs and feel like I'm sitting in a broom cupboard. Great video, thank you!
Qatar Business Class is insane. Took an upgrade with them a few years back and you are treated like royalty as soon as you get on the plane. Nice to see someone with the same surname doing flight reviews too
I last flew in 1986 and will never do so again (financial and medical reasons). I am not bothered about this but I am so pleased that people like Hannah post videos which I can watch and enjoy. Really grateful.
@@63mckenzie I flew on a school skiing trip 87 then once on a 'prop' plane from Liverpool to the Isle of man for the TT races, I don't think I'll fly again, terrified. 😂😂
This is the old BA Business Class cabin. They have introduced the Club World Suite on the Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 787-10 , which are more modern and spacious.
I am an easygoing gal, but that level of grime and crammed configuration is outrageous considering the cost. You were very generous and I can tell you’re mindful of people watching who may be stuck in economy. This is a business class experience I’d expect to see if a discount carrier introduced a lie flat product. I’m glad the food was great! Excellent video - have fun in Orlando!
As an Aussie who is used to paying outrageously high $ for everything here in Aus, the level of cleanliness was poor. For that ⬆️$ I’d expect exceptional cleanliness
Someone once said to me that we've forgotten that airplane travel is a feat of engineering! Always check the configuration on the planes before you book. This is an old configuration on many airlines for 767/777 - the airbus 380 is better (unless you need the bassinet then it's a nightmare). And pick your seats. When you're window side you have more privacy and less disruption but it is harder to get out. But anyone on the aisle side knows that if they've flown business. If you're not planning on sleeping Prem Econ is a very good deal!
I did BA Business Class Austin - London in September in the Airbus A350-1000 and I loved it. Great 1-2-1 configuration with the privacy door. Lots of space with 2 full windows in 9A and 9K. The food was great and the filet was one of the best I’ve ever had. LOVED the White Company pillow and the bedding was very nice. Lay flat bed was very spacious. Wine selection was nice but very skimpy beer offerings. All in all, very nice experience!
Your commentary was the best in this video. I love how honest and matter a fact you are! Thanks for sharing! Also, I can’t believe how long this video was, I enjoyed it so much. I can’t even imagine how long it took you to edit. That’s dedication and I appreciate it.
First video by this lady that I've ever seen. I liked it. Low-key, but interesting content. Didn't criticise BA too harshly for the dirty plane. Pleasant attitude almost smoothed over the indifferent presentation by BA. The staff also received deserved praise. All round designed to not upset the apple cart too much. Very diplomatic!
Saturday morning in Mel. Australia. Watching Hannah with a travel blog, I'm in heaven. I am going to splurge on a once in a life time business class to Paris to see family. All your fault Hannah I want to experience this once. I've just retired and think now is the time. As you say" first world problems" I'm so blessed. I am trying to wangle a week in London only so that I can visit all my favourite Hannah places... might need two weeks actually. Thank you for making my retirement full of ideas and making planning my walks around Melbourne so much fun. 2 hrs later Have been watching other business class vlogs but yours are by far the best. Your enthusiasm and pleasure in everything really shows though and takes an informative dreary blog to the next level. Thank you again for all the time and effort you put in.
Funny story my husband was attending a conference in Orlando for Educational reasons. When leaving he and his friend had rented a car and we’re returning to the Airport they thought. 😂 By accident they were in traffic to Disney World 🙃. Eventually they turned around and reached the plane in time but watching today you entering Disney it brought a smile and a laugh. Unfortunately he died in 2011 but things I see or watch bring so many memories. Thanks for this and I don’t believe I’ve ever seen seats like that before. The difference between UK and USA. Loved it.
Bravo… your reviews are unbiased and so honest, yet forgiving of human failures. . I’m a Londoner too and never thought I’d be watching supermarket reviews…but you’re so true and frank. Discovered and been watching your vids for the past three or four days and do trust you not to be unduly influenced
When you say you are 'very, very lucky', I hope you don't feel guilty. You are sharing your experience with many thousands of people, including someone like me who is very grateful.
Your flight blog is a breath of fresh air. Very candid. Thank you! The flower in the bathroom would be a nice touch. Sad no flower. 😪. Safe travels always.
I enjoyed your video and I don’t think you are fussy to expect a clean seating area. It should be spotless. When did people become so okay with other people’s dirt! Enjoy your holiday😊
Flew Business Class with my mother from LHR to Corfu in June - the crew and the aeroplane going out were incredible, lovely people, modern plane, superb service. Coming back, our flight was cancelled, no notice, and no information. They flew us back Finnair, and they were wonderful!
Wow, what a treat almost an hour vlog by Hannah!! The BA Lounge looked great, very honest and informative review. Agree with you on the dirty seats, lol.❤️💙
I haven't flown first class or business class since before there were sleeper seats! The only flying I do these days is in economy (or some version of it) as I would rather spend my money differently , but I have to say, I have flown Virgin Atlantic on my last three flights from the US to UK and was really impressed. Even in Economy they still gave out amenity packs, blankets, etc. , free drinks, good food. The cabin crew on all of the flight were great . I vowed never to fly BA again many years ago. Once, when traveling with my husband and son (who was 4 years old, and a seasoned traveller as we lived in Australia and flew back and forth to the US often) we were stuck on the tarmac for several hours and the staff was horrendous. One of the crew actually slapped my hand when I reached for a cookie that they were handing out (while still on the ground), and told me they were only for the children. I think these days if that happened you would probably sue the airline! All in all, flying is nowhere near the experience it was in the past - and not something I enjoy. This was fascinating - thanks!
A Transatlantic high five from another airport dad! The peace and quiet of the lounge looked great, especially early in the morning. Thank you, Hannah, for filming and sharing this! Always a wonderful Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning treat.
Great Vlog. Dirty business class is unforgivable in this day and age. Our Australian air lines are just as bad, cleaners only get a few minutes to clean before the next lot of passengers come on board. This gives the air lines more profits, but passengers pick up germs. Enjoy your holiday.
Great review. 😁 You went through so many details I feel those 'professional' flight reviewers tend to take for granted on these business class flights. Also, I wouldn't be too hard on BA's old business class. Even Qatar isn't flying their Q-Suites on every route.
I'd agree with that. I recently flew Qatar from Seoul via Doha to London, and the first leg in Q-Suite was *amazing*, but the second leg was more or less the same quality as this. Although they did have a nice bar you could walk to 🙂
The other thing with Qatar is their equipment changes, you might think you're getting Q-Suites but it's a bit of a gamble until you actually step foot on the plane
My family and I last flew BA in 2002, economy, NEVER again. The flight was delayed, we were escorted to a hotel about 11 pm. and then woken up at 6:00 am. to get on the replacement aeroplane!
Such a treat Hannah, thank you. The cleanliness should have not been an issue at all, ESPECIALLY when your basically paying an arm and a leg. Glad you enjoyed the experience. Hopefully you get show us a bit of your time in Florida but no worries if you can’t…we’re all geared up for London Vlogmas anyway😂😂. Please enjoy that lovely family of yours.
The algorithm brought me here, I stayed because you have a nice channel, it's got personality and warmth and you seem nice and grounded. Thank you I enjoyed this.
I’ve never quite managed to get my head around the whole applause thing on landing! I once flew an internal flight to Cairo on Egyptair and when we finally touched down the whole aircraft erupted in paroxysms of joy and euphoria. Cheering, clapping…the full package of delights. Could it be that applause is just an expression of relief for having arrived in one piece? Who knows! Anyway, an enjoyable and entertaining vlog from you and having just subscribed, I’ll gleefully now delve into your other content.
People are just glad their plane didn’t crash. Imagine making a crash landing in the middle of the ocean during a stormy chilly night. Hence the applause
Thanks Hannah - a very comprehensive review. As someone who has not flown BA for a number of years it looks like the soft product has indeed improved and the new Business Class cabin can only be an improvement on that old 777 "dorm" ... BA *may* be a consideration going forward. Airline cleanliness seems to be an endemic issue currently, I've just returned to Oz using a mix but including Finnair. Their seat was so filthy down to side I did fire off an enquiry to ask if they considered cleaning when they launched this seat a few years ago. Keep up this great work ... like yourself I'm really into airline reviews and will keep an eye out for future ones from you. Hope you enjoyed Florida!!
Found this by accident. Well, the algorithm kept suggesting it over 3 days, so I watched. I loved this and your unfiltered realness you delivered your content.
I’ve got to say flying backwards sounds a bit weird to me having never done it. Also, don’t ever stop to think about how the plane stays in the air, it’s enough to know it just does! Last point, cream then jam on the scone. Great vid Hannah, cheered me up on a cold wet evening in the north west of England.
No! It is good to know how a plane stays in the air to reassure family members who are nervous fliers. Real basic physics-the shape of the wings ensures there is a different airspeed over the top of the wings compared to the bottom of the wings-this ensures there is a difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wings so the plane is pushed upwards! e.g the plane flies.
@@ianharoldwithers1009 if you have nervous flyers in your party I doubt explaining the physics of air pressure is going to alleviate that but each to their own. Also I’d suggest doing that before the flight not at 30,000 ft like Hannah was, bless her.
I had the same thoughts about flying backwards before I did it, but it’s actually pretty cool. Also, the plane is pointing slightly up while cruising so flying backwards on a lie flat bed means your head is higher than your feet, so it’s better for sleeping than facing forwards (if that makes sense).
I flew Sydney to London RTN, Club World after Covid for $6500, so around £3000. It wasn’t a great luxury experience but for the money, I got to lay flat, sleep and overall the experience was great. Prices are now $10000 for the same route and there’s NO way I would pay that for BA Business.
Nothing like a good Hannah travel vlog! I'm no vlog expert, but don't throw shade on your own early videos. I still think they were great, and loved watching them way back when.
I agree this configuration is really unacceptable these days for business class prices. There are so many better options available with aisle access from every seat. I was BA Gold for many years but personally I feel BA are now far down the pack. Personally I swapped my allegiance to AF/KLM. You should try AF long haul business class, much better than BA.
As I live in Cornwall and have a Cornish wife, it's jam first. She likes to say that you can smear the cream on top like a glue. Loving the travel day, been a while 😊
Just to get to fly through the clouds is thrill enough for me. I don't need food, movies, games or anything else. Happy travels!! You look fantastic, btw. I'm watching this on Sunday in Chicago, Illinois USA - WELCOME TO THE USA!!!
Hi Hannah, what a wonderful vlog! You never disappoint bringing quality videos...the time and effort you put into them doesn't goes unnoticed and is appreciated! I loved hearing your reviews & never apologize for thinking you are too picky, you have every right to be & I totally agree with you! I hope you had a wonderful time with your family. Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care! Lots of love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
What a lovely young lady ! Thanks for the candid and personal chat. I feel like an important companion by your side on this holiday journey ! Stay safe and have fun !
A totally fair review Hannah and as always, your little quips crack Mrs B and I up 🤣🤣. We have recently travelled in BA Club World to the States (on miles like you) and as we travelled from Heathrow, we had the new Suites. So your criticism is absolutely fair as BA seem to think they don’t need to update the Gatwick aircraft. Thanks once again for a thoroughly enjoyable Vlog and we will catch up with further adventures as we sit in Florida 😀👏👏
Ooooh Hannah - I loved every minute of this vlog! Flying an international flight business class has been on my bucket list for many years. I will keep dreaming....... Thanks so much!
Hannah we flew with Emirates from South Africa via Dubai to Orlando last year Oct and the new terminal just opened. We waited 2 hours for our luggage to come through and there was no trolleys. It was a huge tour of 56 adults and 14/15 year olds. Was a journey and a half
Great video! I'm glad you highlighted the cleanliness, this is my only gripe with business-class flights! I luckily get to travel extensively for work and noticing dirt down the sides of seats or on the touchscreen really lets down an otherwise great experience provided by the crew onboard and in the lounges. My favorite business class would have to be Qatar Airways when flying the Q-suite, regardless of seat option the crew are always fantastic.
I was speaking to a very nice fun lady yesterday in our local Michigan grocery store who upon recognizing I had a British accent announced she watched Hannah Ricketts on you tube. We do too, my wife and and I responded. She then went on to talk about how you inspired her to do Teas. Hannah is making a difference in the world. By the way, the lady thought you and I sounded the same. I am a Geordie who has lived in the USA for 24 years, I am not sure we sound exactly alike.
Interesting to see / know about business class as we’ve only ever travelled economy. Glad to know we are not missing much ! Can’t believe the seating was not immaculate 😞 Hope you had a good holiday x
When it comes to older business class seats from Virgin and British, I’d take Virgin’s all day. I’ve flown Virgin’s older Herringbone configuration and it’s newer one and I’m fine with either one, I thought I wouldn’t like the older one but I liked it.
Goodness, the seat layout in their business class is just so awkward. I'm a flight attendant (with another airline) and just envisioning how uncomfortable it must be for everyone involved getting around, serving the food and beverages over people, eek. I certainly hope your next time flying them in business class, it's in a seat configuring that is more comfortable. That tiramisu looked scrumptious! 😍 Hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family 🌴
Your efforts are appreciated Hannah as always an entertaining and informative vlog. I felt like I was along for the trip and for an intrepid Aussie traveller it was exhilarating! Shameful the poor cleaning around your seat. BA should take note and yes your meals looked delicious.
Cleanliness is very important to me. I could see the marks on the armrest and window. I had an experience on BA a few years ago. I did get quite ill which spoiled my holiday.
Hi Plz, I would like to mention that planes to South America for example, the people clap as well; It’s to said “Thank you” to the captain for taking you to your destination safe and not because was any problem on the plane. 😀👍🏼
❤I am absolutely obsessed with you videos, They are like a burst of motivation and positively that keeps me going. From your awesome Vlogs to those satisfying organizing videos, I cannot get enough. Your content seriously inspires me to stay focused and chase after my dreams.
I really enjoyed your video on business class on BA from Gatwick to Orlando. I flew the exact same flight in the exact same seat a year and a half ago. After flying British Airways business class on the 747 that used to fly into Phoenix, Arizona when I lived there I was rather disappointed on the 777 business class. And I agree with the comment before mine, never apologize, or say, you’re lucky when you’ve worked hard, your entire life, and you’ve achieved a certain point to where you can afford to enjoy some of the finer things in life. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and you deserve everything you’ve worked for, OK I’m done being a dad! I just subscribed and looking forward to your videos around London, where I love to visit! Cheers
Hannah you are back at Disney so happy for you!! Your vlog of the airline & lounge was in great detail which I love & happy you had a good flight. Climbing over someone to get to your seat is beyond strange they have to refigure that design in newer planes. I like to clap at the end of flights I think its more a thank you to the pilot for a safe flight the clap is like a big sigh of relief lol
Thanks Hannah I really enjoyed your vlog. I’m Ex BA Cabin Crew and when I seen how dirty and grubby it was I was cringing!! The food looked good and it was finally nice to see it ‘plastic free’ I hope you had a lovely holiday with your family xx
I have noticed a general decline over the past 20 years with BA and the poor cabin crew often look embarrassed when you point it out to them. It isn't their fault of course just BA cost cutting on cleaning so I wouldn't give them a hard time about it. I have made complaints direct to BA about it though because, for the money they charge, it isn't good enough.
I know you’re not primary an airline reviewer. But out of those on RUclips who do review/Vlog, I generally find yours to be the best. It just the way they are put together l, informative yet candid
The Club lounge looked better than the tired lounge at Heathrow. Have given up on BA Business Class particularly to Orlando. Seating when converted to a bed is comfortable but pre flight and flight service is just OK.Switched to another British airline and will not return to BA Business. For the price cabin needs improving.
Hi Hannah, my wife and I enjoyed this video and are happy you have been able to take a break and spend quality time with your family. As for upgrading out of economy, I say it si always worth it. I stand 6’ 5” and the extra legroom in world traveller is worth every penny. We were in COrnwall and Devon is September and we had world traveller seats to England and back to Canada and had such a comfortable flight on BA. And yes, we were pleasantly surprised by the food. We rated our flight a 9.5/10 for fabulous flight attendants and food and cleanliness. The BA ground crew at Heathrow were friendly. Keep up the fab videos and we are looking forward to Vlogmas.
I agree Steve........I always fly Business Class Club, and mostly First with BA, but a few years back I surprised my Mum with a trip to Dubai. As I was paying cash I booked Economy. BIG MISTAKE! We were on the Red Eye & I suffered like hell on the way out. No leg room and acute claustrophobia. Mum was okay as she is tiny. Checking in for the return flight, I just handed over my Amex card and said upgrade us, don't care what cabin or how much it costs. The only seats available we P.Economy, which I took. I paid £440 as I recall so £220 each, and we got front cabin seats by the window. I was really impressed, I really was. It was worth every penny.
That was a FANTASTIC vlog Hannah!! ☆☆☆☆☆ Pretty much the closest I've been to an airport! I've never flown and have never had a tour around an airport and a plane like that, so not really knew what goes on, in all my 55 years on planet earth. Your shots out the plane window were awesome. Really enjoyed this one from start to finish. BIG LIKE from me 👍🏻 Hope you had an amazing holiday and see you back in lovely old London next week x. Have a good week
Being 6'7'' any upgrade from Economy is so much appreciated. I always feel so sorry for anyone sitting in front of me in Economy as they have no chance of reclining their seat, and it feels like BA are shrinking the space between their seats.
Oh what a treat! Travelling with Hannah back to DISNEY. I’ve been lucky to have flown overnight in business and all pods are not equal for sure but I’ve never had to climb over someone! Weird. My best experience (and I’ve not flown the wonderful Asian ones) was Swiss Air. I swear there were only 10 of us up there in business Montreal to Zurich ….and I remember the table setting looked like a wine tasting with all the glasses lol. Special
Gatwick sure has changed. It's been 9 years! I prefer LHR, but it looks like the change is for the best 👍 Hope your trip went well 😊 Yacht Club is my #1 choice when staying at WDW. Much prefer v Grand Floridian. Huge Fan off BA and it appears, newer aircraft are used out off LHR. The New Business class cabin is awesome ❤
Great video Hannah!! I really enjoy the long Vlog, you talking to the camera, reminds me of lockdown vlogs when i was an early subscriber. Keep at it! Greetings from Argentina😊
Before Covid i worked for OCS and we cleaned the BA planes and Lounge! It's a shame to see the standards of cleanliness has declined since another company took over! The BA lounge i do miss cleaning and hasnt changed one bit! New to your channel and will definitely subscribe! 😁 x
Thank you, Hannah. For being brutally honest 😅 I 💯 agree on all those points you critiqued. My son and I flew BA economy this past May. It was cramped, but the service was impeccable and friendly, and they went beyond expectations. I love BA. As a Canadian, I prefer flying BA. Your comment about not getting the cheese board had me cracking up!! Well done ❤
I flew by Air New Zealand and the flight attendants were amazing and the food was very good and lots of water was handed out. One of the best flights I had.
Having worked for BA for years i've flown club dozens of times, I have to say that the best business class i've ever flown was Air Belgium! They had a really weird seating arrangement where your feet went into a sort of box in the seat in front, it sounds odd , but it meant you did not have to clamber over the person behind, or sit staring at a complete stranger through the partition.
The clouds are so fluffy and beautiful on takeoff, I want to hug them. 🙂 Gorgeous countryside that I hope the English don’t take for granted. The lounge food and in air meals we’re delightful as well.
Great video, Hannah. Video & audio was very good. I flew BA business class from California to London earlier this year. Different model of plane as the window seats all had two large storage bins between the seat and the window and could walk to seat without going over other passengers. Crew was very nice. Food was ok, not as nice as yours. Flight home was delayed an entire day so that whole experience was very disappointing. Always enjoy your vlogs.
Thanks for this honest & fun. review. We're doing the same route next week (5th time!) with Avios & companion voucher. As they say: beggars can't be choosers...we're so grateful to fly business class but: the cabin on this route REALLY needs upgrading. We recently did Johannesburg, Bangkok & Hong Kong and they all have the new 'herringbone layout.' So much better. Looking forward to watching more of your reviews. Thank you.
What a fun Hannah on Holiday Vlog!! Thank you for the tour of the lounge at Gatwick. It seems much more relaxed compared to Heathrow. It doesn’t seem like the ground crews ever have enough time to thoroughly clean every surface from the previous flight. The herringbone seating configuration on carriers like Cathay afford access to one’s seat without interrupting a cabin mate. Have a great time in MCO and WDW with your family! Looking forward to some video of you and your nieces in Toontown!
I have so missed your travel vlogs!! Hope you had a lovely holiday with your family and truthfully, this was one of the best travel day vlogs ive watched in a long time, you are always fair and so detailed thank you 😂
Quality is great Hannah. Enjoy your holiday. As an ex flight attendant I absolutely love flying and love the excitement of being at the airport. Your lunch looked amazing.
Pre COVID I got a round the world ticket with numerous stop offs. All with scheduled airlines economy for just over 3k....makes one think about the cost. Enjoying the content👍
I bet Disney World felt like a new experience. From 2019 to now they have updated and added so many new experiences. I'm going next year and my last trip was in 2020 just before lockdown.
Hannah, I’ve stayed at the Bloc Hotel at Gatwick several times, including in July. I really like it. Even if you are flying Economy or Premium Economy (like me), you can use the Priority Security which is just outside the Bloc. I’m only halfway through your review. The BA Lounge looked great. I probably wouldn’t spend the money (unless I used miles) to fly business class but it looks nice.
Well, I’m glad you finally got back to Florida. I know that you love it there. I’m the one that owns property in the springs right off of Orlando up north. In a place called Salt Springs. It is nice. Soon will be buying a big farm up in high Springs around some other Springs and traveling between those two and Cocoa Beach/Satellite Beach and Sebastian Beach for work.
I don’t think you’re wrong to point out that the seat was dirty. When I pay £3-4k for a seat I expect quality, good service and cleanliness. And climbing over someone is unacceptable these days. I try and avoid BA as their product is poor for the price point .
I do not know if you will see this but I agree 100%. I used to travel "Business Class" in the late 1990s and things were FAR BETTER, to be honest, I never fly with BA but with Malaysia Airlines, Qantas and American Airlines and everything was very nice. The most important feature was the amount of SPACE that you enjoyed; obviously, most airlines are now cutting corners in the most shameful way!
@@arslongavitabrevis5136 wrong, this is old BA Club World, their new Club Suite is much bigger, so not cost cutting!
Possibly one shouldn't be at all surprised that British Airways introduce new passengers to dirty aircraft. However, is that really the standard that can be expected of a 'leader in international air travel'?
Personally I'm rather more saddened by such unexpected squalor, than actually shocked.
The cheap end of the market, in air transport providers, are the true aircraft 'turn around' specialists with barely enough time for re-fuelling and safety checks, plus just 20 minutes passenger boarding time allocated before taking off again. (Yes, a plane on the ground is not earning money. . .)

I paid £4000 for a basic economy seat. So, I think it's less about how much you pay, but rather what you are paying for - because whether you are paying £600 for your seat in economy or £4000 - it is still an economy seat.
bro im paying 900 for 3 flights busness
As someone who can’t fly anywhere anymore due to health and financial reasons, 😢 to you I say, enjoy every moment of travel and holidaying that you can now. Don’t feel guilty of anything you get to experience. As others have said I too am enjoying experiencing this through your vlogs. Thank you for choosing to share this trip with others 💜 I really appreciate your efforts. I hope you enjoyed your time with your family 😊
MERRY CHRISTMAS WHOEVER YOU ARE. ALL THE BEST FROM NORWAY.
When you say you are 'very, very lucky', I hope you don't feel guilty. You are sharing your experience with many thousands of people, including someone like me who is very grateful
nah she shud feel a little guilty
I'll be honest I'm glad I've watched this. We go to Florida on November 26th, I was going to upgrade to business but theres no chance I'm spending that amount to scramble over someone's legs and feel like I'm sitting in a broom cupboard. Great video, thank you!
Love the longform vlogs; side note, your charm and honesty is always 10/10
Qatar Business Class is insane. Took an upgrade with them a few years back and you are treated like royalty as soon as you get on the plane. Nice to see someone with the same surname doing flight reviews too
Brilliant when they feel up female passengers to see if they’ve given birth… NEVER fly them
100% agree
I last flew in 1986 and will never do so again (financial and medical reasons). I am not bothered about this but I am so pleased that people like Hannah post videos which I can watch and enjoy. Really grateful.
I'll tell you what Paul, flying hasn't gotten better since 1986. It used to be quite a bit more comfortable back then. All the best.
Don't think we missing much, I am not a fan of flying and haven't for years.
Aw thanks for watching!!
I thought I was weird for not flying for 32 years!
@@63mckenzie I flew on a school skiing trip 87 then once on a 'prop' plane from Liverpool to the Isle of man for the TT races, I don't think I'll fly again, terrified. 😂😂
This is the old BA Business Class cabin. They have introduced the Club World Suite on the Airbus A350-1000 and Boeing 787-10 , which are more modern and spacious.
A350-1000 is awesome plane went on it last year. I've been on B787-9 but love to try the 10
I am an easygoing gal, but that level of grime and crammed configuration is outrageous considering the cost. You were very generous and I can tell you’re mindful of people watching who may be stuck in economy. This is a business class experience I’d expect to see if a discount carrier introduced a lie flat product. I’m glad the food was great! Excellent video - have fun in Orlando!
AGREED
Gillian Anderson?? I loved you on The X-Files 🙂
I completely agree!
As an Aussie who is used to paying outrageously high $ for everything here in Aus, the level of cleanliness was poor. For that ⬆️$ I’d expect exceptional cleanliness
Someone once said to me that we've forgotten that airplane travel is a feat of engineering! Always check the configuration on the planes before you book. This is an old configuration on many airlines for 767/777 - the airbus 380 is better (unless you need the bassinet then it's a nightmare). And pick your seats. When you're window side you have more privacy and less disruption but it is harder to get out. But anyone on the aisle side knows that if they've flown business. If you're not planning on sleeping Prem Econ is a very good deal!
I did BA Business Class Austin - London in September in the Airbus A350-1000 and I loved it. Great 1-2-1 configuration with the privacy door. Lots of space with 2 full windows in 9A and 9K. The food was great and the filet was one of the best I’ve ever had. LOVED the White Company pillow and the bedding was very nice. Lay flat bed was very spacious. Wine selection was nice but very skimpy beer offerings. All in all, very nice experience!
Your commentary was the best in this video. I love how honest and matter a fact you are! Thanks for sharing! Also, I can’t believe how long this video was, I enjoyed it so much. I can’t even imagine how long it took you to edit. That’s dedication and I appreciate it.
Thank you so much!!
I agree. She is a great commentator.
First video by this lady that I've ever seen. I liked it. Low-key, but interesting content. Didn't criticise BA too harshly for the dirty plane. Pleasant attitude almost smoothed over the indifferent presentation by BA. The staff also received deserved praise. All round designed to not upset the apple cart too much. Very diplomatic!
Saturday morning in Mel. Australia. Watching Hannah with a travel blog, I'm in heaven. I am going to splurge on a once in a life time business class to Paris to see family. All your fault Hannah I want to experience this once. I've just retired and think now is the time. As you say" first world problems" I'm so blessed. I am trying to wangle a week in London only so that I can visit all my favourite Hannah places... might need two weeks actually. Thank you for making my retirement full of ideas and making planning my walks around Melbourne so much fun.
2 hrs later
Have been watching other business class vlogs but yours are by far the best. Your enthusiasm and pleasure in everything really shows though and takes an informative dreary blog to the next level. Thank you again for all the time and effort you put in.
Have an amazing time and so envious. I'm itching to go to London and hit all the Hannah stores. Just need to win powerball!!!. Enjoy retirement.
Thank you for being real and humble….. you’re always a breath of fresh air …
ASS KISSER
Funny story my husband was attending a conference in Orlando for Educational reasons. When leaving he and his friend had rented a car and we’re returning to the Airport they thought. 😂 By accident they were in traffic to Disney World 🙃. Eventually they turned around and reached the plane in time but watching today you entering Disney it brought a smile and a laugh. Unfortunately he died in 2011 but things I see or watch bring so many memories. Thanks for this and I don’t believe I’ve ever seen seats like that before. The difference between UK and USA. Loved it.
Aw thanks for sharing, that's a fun story!
Bravo… your reviews are unbiased and so honest, yet forgiving of human failures. . I’m a Londoner too and never thought I’d be watching supermarket reviews…but you’re so true and frank. Discovered and been watching your vids for the past three or four days and do trust you not to be unduly influenced
When you say you are 'very, very lucky', I hope you don't feel guilty. You are sharing your experience with many thousands of people, including someone like me who is very grateful.
Your flight blog is a breath of fresh air. Very candid. Thank you! The flower in the bathroom would be a nice touch. Sad no flower. 😪. Safe travels always.
I enjoyed your video and I don’t think you are fussy to expect a clean seating area. It should be spotless. When did people become so okay with other people’s dirt! Enjoy your holiday😊
Flew Business Class with my mother from LHR to Corfu in June - the crew and the aeroplane going out were incredible, lovely people, modern plane, superb service. Coming back, our flight was cancelled, no notice, and no information. They flew us back Finnair, and they were wonderful!
Wow, what a treat almost an hour vlog by Hannah!! The BA Lounge looked great, very honest and informative review. Agree with you on the dirty seats, lol.❤️💙
Thanks so much!
I haven't flown first class or business class since before there were sleeper seats! The only flying I do these days is in economy (or some version of it) as I would rather spend my money differently , but I have to say, I have flown Virgin Atlantic on my last three flights from the US to UK and was really impressed. Even in Economy they still gave out amenity packs, blankets, etc. , free drinks, good food. The cabin crew on all of the flight were great . I vowed never to fly BA again many years ago. Once, when traveling with my husband and son (who was 4 years old, and a seasoned traveller as we lived in Australia and flew back and forth to the US often) we were stuck on the tarmac for several hours and the staff was horrendous. One of the crew actually slapped my hand when I reached for a cookie that they were handing out (while still on the ground), and told me they were only for the children. I think these days if that happened you would probably sue the airline! All in all, flying is nowhere near the experience it was in the past - and not something I enjoy. This was fascinating - thanks!
A Transatlantic high five from another airport dad! The peace and quiet of the lounge looked great, especially early in the morning. Thank you, Hannah, for filming and sharing this! Always a wonderful Friday afternoon/evening or Saturday morning treat.
Great Vlog. Dirty business class is unforgivable in this day and age. Our Australian air lines are just as bad, cleaners only get a few minutes to clean before the next lot of passengers come on board. This gives the air lines more profits, but passengers pick up germs. Enjoy your holiday.
Great review. 😁 You went through so many details I feel those 'professional' flight reviewers tend to take for granted on these business class flights. Also, I wouldn't be too hard on BA's old business class. Even Qatar isn't flying their Q-Suites on every route.
I'd agree with that. I recently flew Qatar from Seoul via Doha to London, and the first leg in Q-Suite was *amazing*, but the second leg was more or less the same quality as this. Although they did have a nice bar you could walk to 🙂
The other thing with Qatar is their equipment changes, you might think you're getting Q-Suites but it's a bit of a gamble until you actually step foot on the plane
Such a happy go lucky person that presents so naturally too. Loved it. 👍😀
YES-more flight reviews. I love your detailed look at everything!
This is one of my favorite of your videos! I love your travel ones and this just made me smile - you’re so real!! I hope you had a great vacation!!!
“I didn’t want the cheese board” 😂😂😂 that one got me!🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
My family and I last flew BA in 2002, economy, NEVER again. The flight was delayed, we were escorted to a hotel about 11 pm. and then woken up at 6:00 am. to get on the replacement aeroplane!
Such a treat Hannah, thank you. The cleanliness should have not been an issue at all, ESPECIALLY when your basically paying an arm and a leg. Glad you enjoyed the experience. Hopefully you get show us a bit of your time in Florida but no worries if you can’t…we’re all geared up for London Vlogmas anyway😂😂. Please enjoy that lovely family of yours.
The algorithm brought me here, I stayed because you have a nice channel, it's got personality and warmth and you seem nice and grounded. Thank you I enjoyed this.
I’ve never quite managed to get my head around the whole applause thing on landing! I once flew an internal flight to Cairo on Egyptair and when we finally touched down the whole aircraft erupted in paroxysms of joy and euphoria. Cheering, clapping…the full package of delights. Could it be that applause is just an expression of relief for having arrived in one piece? Who knows! Anyway, an enjoyable and entertaining vlog from you and having just subscribed, I’ll gleefully now delve into your other content.
People are just glad their plane didn’t crash. Imagine making a crash landing in the middle of the ocean during a stormy chilly night. Hence the applause
It might have been the Captain”s Retirement Flight !
Haha… my husband is a pilot on American Airlines and it is very common for passengers to clap 👏 at landing to say thank you 😊
@@DebraSmith-md6hzAlso very true and common
Clapping never happens with American passengers.
Thanks Hannah - a very comprehensive review. As someone who has not flown BA for a number of years it looks like the soft product has indeed improved and the new Business Class cabin can only be an improvement on that old 777 "dorm" ... BA *may* be a consideration going forward. Airline cleanliness seems to be an endemic issue currently, I've just returned to Oz using a mix but including Finnair. Their seat was so filthy down to side I did fire off an enquiry to ask if they considered cleaning when they launched this seat a few years ago.
Keep up this great work ... like yourself I'm really into airline reviews and will keep an eye out for future ones from you. Hope you enjoyed Florida!!
I really enjoyed this video, Hannah! Well done! Love that it's longer. Keep 'em coming!
Found this by accident. Well, the algorithm kept suggesting it over 3 days, so I watched. I loved this and your unfiltered realness you delivered your content.
I’ve got to say flying backwards sounds a bit weird to me having never done it. Also, don’t ever stop to think about how the plane stays in the air, it’s enough to know it just does! Last point, cream then jam on the scone. Great vid Hannah, cheered me up on a cold wet evening in the north west of England.
No! It is good to know how a plane stays in the air to reassure family members who are nervous fliers. Real basic physics-the shape of the wings ensures there is a different airspeed over the top of the wings compared to the bottom of the wings-this ensures there is a difference in pressure between the top and bottom of the wings so the plane is pushed upwards! e.g the plane flies.
@@ianharoldwithers1009 if you have nervous flyers in your party I doubt explaining the physics of air pressure is going to alleviate that but each to their own. Also I’d suggest doing that before the flight not at 30,000 ft like Hannah was, bless her.
I had the same thoughts about flying backwards before I did it, but it’s actually pretty cool. Also, the plane is pointing slightly up while cruising so flying backwards on a lie flat bed means your head is higher than your feet, so it’s better for sleeping than facing forwards (if that makes sense).
I flew Sydney to London RTN, Club World after Covid for $6500, so around £3000. It wasn’t a great luxury experience but for the money, I got to lay flat, sleep and overall the experience was great. Prices are now $10000 for the same route and there’s NO way I would pay that for BA Business.
Nothing like a good Hannah travel vlog! I'm no vlog expert, but don't throw shade on your own early videos. I still think they were great, and loved watching them way back when.
Hi Hannah seen your channel for the first time keep you through great work Paul in Kent
Thanks for the travel vlog. Much enjoyed. We flew business class to Amsterdam and it was amazing. The flight is less tiresome with those comforts! 🇨🇦💕
I agree this configuration is really unacceptable these days for business class prices. There are so many better options available with aisle access from every seat.
I was BA Gold for many years but personally I feel BA are now far down the pack. Personally I swapped my allegiance to AF/KLM. You should try AF long haul business class, much better than BA.
I agree completely
Its not just British Airways that has gone downhill, Britain as a whole is failing.
much better
shame on you rishi sunak like your industry the flying arilines are also bankrupt
BA is just an embarrassment now. I too was GOLD, Heathrow is now painful and BA service is dire
As I live in Cornwall and have a Cornish wife, it's jam first. She likes to say that you can smear the cream on top like a glue. Loving the travel day, been a while 😊
Just to get to fly through the clouds is thrill enough for me. I don't need food, movies, games or anything else. Happy travels!! You look fantastic, btw. I'm watching this on Sunday in Chicago, Illinois USA - WELCOME TO THE USA!!!
Hi Hannah, what a wonderful vlog! You never disappoint bringing quality videos...the time and effort you put into them doesn't goes unnoticed and is appreciated! I loved hearing your reviews & never apologize for thinking you are too picky, you have every right to be & I totally agree with you! I hope you had a wonderful time with your family. Thank you so much for sharing, take really good care! Lots of love Kathy x (Ontario, Canada)
What a lovely young lady ! Thanks for the candid and personal chat. I feel like an important companion by your side on this holiday journey ! Stay safe and have fun !
Stay safe from what?
Clicked right away! Always excited to watch a Hannah vlog 😊🙌🏾
Awesome video ! I love how you describe the experience, sight, sound, smells, so it feels like I've flown on vacation today
A totally fair review Hannah and as always, your little quips crack Mrs B and I up 🤣🤣. We have recently travelled in BA Club World to the States (on miles like you) and as we travelled from Heathrow, we had the new Suites. So your criticism is absolutely fair as BA seem to think they don’t need to update the Gatwick aircraft. Thanks once again for a thoroughly enjoyable Vlog and we will catch up with further adventures as we sit in Florida 😀👏👏
Hannah. You are absolutely, exquisitely glowing. Your skin looks amazing.
Ooooh Hannah - I loved every minute of this vlog! Flying an international flight business class has been on my bucket list for many years. I will keep dreaming....... Thanks so much!
Hannah we flew with Emirates from South Africa via Dubai to Orlando last year Oct and the new terminal just opened. We waited 2 hours for our luggage to come through and there was no trolleys. It was a huge tour of 56 adults and 14/15 year olds. Was a journey and a half
I love your ratings Hannah!! Thank you for sharing your experience on BA business class!! ✈️ 🤍
Great video! I'm glad you highlighted the cleanliness, this is my only gripe with business-class flights! I luckily get to travel extensively for work and noticing dirt down the sides of seats or on the touchscreen really lets down an otherwise great experience provided by the crew onboard and in the lounges. My favorite business class would have to be Qatar Airways when flying the Q-suite, regardless of seat option the crew are always fantastic.
I was speaking to a very nice fun lady yesterday in our local Michigan grocery store who upon recognizing I had a British accent announced she watched Hannah Ricketts on you tube. We do too, my wife and and I responded. She then went on to talk about how you inspired her to do Teas. Hannah is making a difference in the world. By the way, the lady thought you and I sounded the same. I am a Geordie who has lived in the USA for 24 years, I am not sure we sound exactly alike.
Aw that's so kind thank you! lovely to know!
Interesting to see / know about business class as we’ve only ever travelled economy.
Glad to know we are not missing much !
Can’t believe the seating was not immaculate 😞
Hope you had a good holiday x
This is the first time I’ve seen you’re videos,
Very informative and honest.
I’ll certainly watch others.
Thank you.
When it comes to older business class seats from Virgin and British, I’d take Virgin’s all day. I’ve flown Virgin’s older Herringbone configuration and it’s newer one and I’m fine with either one, I thought I wouldn’t like the older one but I liked it.
Goodness, the seat layout in their business class is just so awkward. I'm a flight attendant (with another airline) and just envisioning how uncomfortable it must be for everyone involved getting around, serving the food and beverages over people, eek. I certainly hope your next time flying them in business class, it's in a seat configuring that is more comfortable.
That tiramisu looked scrumptious! 😍
Hope you had a wonderful holiday with your family 🌴
Your efforts are appreciated Hannah as always an entertaining and informative vlog. I felt like I was along for the trip and for an intrepid Aussie traveller it was exhilarating!
Shameful the poor cleaning around your seat. BA should take note and yes your meals looked delicious.
Cleanliness is very important to me. I could see the marks on the armrest and window. I had an experience on BA a few years ago. I did get quite ill which spoiled my holiday.
Hi
Plz, I would like to mention that planes to South America for example, the people clap as well; It’s to said “Thank you” to the captain for taking you to your destination safe and not because was any problem on the plane. 😀👍🏼
❤I am absolutely obsessed with you videos, They are like a burst of motivation and positively that keeps me going. From your awesome Vlogs to those satisfying organizing videos, I cannot get enough. Your content seriously inspires me to stay focused and chase after my dreams.
I really enjoyed your video on business class on BA from Gatwick to Orlando. I flew the exact same flight in the exact same seat a year and a half ago. After flying British Airways business class on the 747 that used to fly into Phoenix, Arizona when I lived there I was rather disappointed on the 777 business class. And I agree with the comment before mine, never apologize, or say, you’re lucky when you’ve worked hard, your entire life, and you’ve achieved a certain point to where you can afford to enjoy some of the finer things in life. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that and you deserve everything you’ve worked for, OK I’m done being a dad! I just subscribed and looking forward to your videos around London, where I love to visit! Cheers
Hannah you are back at Disney so happy for you!! Your vlog of the airline & lounge was in great detail which I love & happy you had a good flight. Climbing over someone to get to your seat is beyond strange they have to refigure that design in newer planes. I like to clap at the end of flights I think its more a thank you to the pilot for a safe flight the clap is like a big sigh of relief lol
Thanks Hannah I really enjoyed your vlog. I’m Ex BA Cabin Crew and when I seen how dirty and grubby it was I was cringing!!
The food looked good and it was finally nice to see it ‘plastic free’
I hope you had a lovely holiday with your family xx
I have noticed a general decline over the past 20 years with BA and the poor cabin crew often look embarrassed when you point it out to them. It isn't their fault of course just BA cost cutting on cleaning so I wouldn't give them a hard time about it. I have made complaints direct to BA about it though because, for the money they charge, it isn't good enough.
I know you’re not primary an airline reviewer. But out of those on RUclips who do review/Vlog, I generally find yours to be the best.
It just the way they are put together l, informative yet candid
Such a fun vlog. Thank you for taking us along . Safe travels always!
The Club lounge looked better than the tired lounge at Heathrow. Have given up on BA Business Class particularly to Orlando. Seating when converted to a bed is comfortable but pre flight and flight service is just OK.Switched to another British airline and will not return to BA Business. For the price cabin needs improving.
Im so sad were not getting any other vidoes from this trip but I appreciate this one.
Hi Hannah, my wife and I enjoyed this video and are happy you have been able to take a break and spend quality time with your family. As for upgrading out of economy, I say it si always worth it. I stand 6’ 5” and the extra legroom in world traveller is worth every penny. We were in COrnwall and Devon is September and we had world traveller seats to England and back to Canada and had such a comfortable flight on BA. And yes, we were pleasantly surprised by the food. We rated our flight a 9.5/10 for fabulous flight attendants and food and cleanliness. The BA ground crew at Heathrow were friendly. Keep up the fab videos and we are looking forward to Vlogmas.
I agree Steve........I always fly Business Class Club, and mostly First with BA, but a few years back I surprised my Mum with a trip to Dubai. As I was paying cash I booked Economy. BIG MISTAKE! We were on the Red Eye & I suffered like hell on the way out. No leg room and acute claustrophobia. Mum was okay as she is tiny. Checking in for the return flight, I just handed over my Amex card and said upgrade us, don't care what cabin or how much it costs. The only seats available we P.Economy, which I took. I paid £440 as I recall so £220 each, and we got front cabin seats by the window. I was really impressed, I really was. It was worth every penny.
@14:53 proper vlog soundtrack and nice B roll...! Well done, sweetie!
They’re not the best Hannah but it still represents good value on an avios booking. Good to see you branching out on the vlogs. Love your channel ?
Have a great trip ❤ so glad you were able to go 🎉
34:00
LOL 😂
❤❤❤
P.S.
You are such a pleasure & make me smile!
Thank You
That was a FANTASTIC vlog Hannah!! ☆☆☆☆☆ Pretty much the closest I've been to an airport! I've never flown and have never had a tour around an airport and a plane like that, so not really knew what goes on, in all my 55 years on planet earth. Your shots out the plane window were awesome. Really enjoyed this one from start to finish. BIG LIKE from me 👍🏻
Hope you had an amazing holiday and see you back in lovely old London next week x. Have a good week
oh there's nothing better than an entertaining one hour video of Hannah after a long day at work
Being 6'7'' any upgrade from Economy is so much appreciated. I always feel so sorry for anyone sitting in front of me in Economy as they have no chance of reclining their seat, and it feels like BA are shrinking the space between their seats.
what happens when they try to recline?
Their seat does not move as my knees stop their seat from reclining.@@jj-if6it
@@jj-if6ithis legs block it they can’t extend fully
Oh what a treat! Travelling with Hannah back to DISNEY. I’ve been lucky to have flown overnight in business and all pods are not equal for sure but I’ve never had to climb over someone! Weird. My best experience (and I’ve not flown the wonderful Asian ones) was Swiss Air. I swear there were only 10 of us up there in business Montreal to Zurich ….and I remember the table setting looked like a wine tasting with all the glasses lol. Special
Gatwick sure has changed. It's been 9 years! I prefer LHR, but it looks like the change is for the best 👍
Hope your trip went well 😊
Yacht Club is my #1 choice when staying at WDW. Much prefer v Grand Floridian.
Huge Fan off BA and it appears, newer aircraft are used out off LHR. The New Business class cabin is awesome ❤
A very thorough review Hannah - very watchable - enjoy your holiday x
I fly in 2 weeks. It’s getting me so excited watching this. Really in the holiday spirit ☀️
Great video Hannah!! I really enjoy the long Vlog, you talking to the camera, reminds me of lockdown vlogs when i was an early subscriber. Keep at it! Greetings from Argentina😊
Before Covid i worked for OCS and we cleaned the BA planes and Lounge! It's a shame to see the standards of cleanliness has declined since another company took over! The BA lounge i do miss cleaning and hasnt changed one bit! New to your channel and will definitely subscribe! 😁 x
Shameful the mess travellers leave behind!
Thank you, Hannah. For being brutally honest 😅 I 💯 agree on all those points you critiqued. My son and I flew BA economy this past May. It was cramped, but the service was impeccable and friendly, and they went beyond expectations. I love BA. As a Canadian, I prefer flying BA. Your comment about not getting the cheese board had me cracking up!! Well done ❤
BA staff in my experience are always wonderful, it's the bean counters that are the problem.
I flew by Air New Zealand and the flight attendants were amazing and the food was very good and lots of water was handed out. One of the best flights I had.
Having worked for BA for years i've flown club dozens of times, I have to say that the best business class i've ever flown was Air Belgium! They had a really weird seating arrangement where your feet went into a sort of box in the seat in front, it sounds odd , but it meant you did not have to clamber over the person behind, or sit staring at a complete stranger through the partition.
So, you'll know this is an old product that is being retired!
The clouds are so fluffy and beautiful on takeoff, I want to hug them. 🙂 Gorgeous countryside that I hope the English don’t take for granted. The lounge food and in air meals we’re delightful as well.
Great video, Hannah. Video & audio was very good. I flew BA business class from California to London earlier this year. Different model of plane as the window seats all had two large storage bins between the seat and the window and could walk to seat without going over other passengers. Crew was very nice. Food was ok, not as nice as yours. Flight home was delayed an entire day so that whole experience was very disappointing. Always enjoy your vlogs.
Thanks for this honest & fun. review. We're doing the same route next week (5th time!) with Avios & companion voucher. As they say: beggars can't be choosers...we're so grateful to fly business class but: the cabin on this route REALLY needs upgrading. We recently did Johannesburg, Bangkok & Hong Kong and they all have the new 'herringbone layout.' So much better. Looking forward to watching more of your reviews. Thank you.
What a fun Hannah on Holiday Vlog!! Thank you for the tour of the lounge at Gatwick. It seems much more relaxed compared to Heathrow. It doesn’t seem like the ground crews ever have enough time to thoroughly clean every surface from the previous flight. The herringbone seating configuration on carriers like Cathay afford access to one’s seat without interrupting a cabin mate. Have a great time in MCO and WDW with your family! Looking forward to some video of you and your nieces in Toontown!
I have so missed your travel vlogs!! Hope you had a lovely holiday with your family and truthfully, this was one of the best travel day vlogs ive watched in a long time, you are always fair and so detailed thank you 😂
Quality is great Hannah. Enjoy your holiday. As an ex flight attendant I absolutely love flying and love the excitement of being at the airport. Your lunch looked amazing.
Another great enjoyable review Hannah 😀
Pre COVID I got a round the world ticket with numerous stop offs. All with scheduled airlines economy for just over 3k....makes one think about the cost. Enjoying the content👍
I bet Disney World felt like a new experience. From 2019 to now they have updated and added so many new experiences. I'm going next year and my last trip was in 2020 just before lockdown.
Hannah, I’ve stayed at the Bloc Hotel at Gatwick several times, including in July. I really like it. Even if you are flying Economy or Premium Economy (like me), you can use the Priority Security which is just outside the Bloc.
I’m only halfway through your review. The BA Lounge looked great. I probably wouldn’t spend the money (unless I used miles) to fly business class but it looks nice.
The premier inn, highly reccomended near Heathrow...
Well, I’m glad you finally got back to Florida. I know that you love it there. I’m the one that owns property in the springs right off of Orlando up north. In a place called Salt Springs. It is nice. Soon will be buying a big farm up in high Springs around some other Springs and traveling between those two and Cocoa Beach/Satellite Beach and Sebastian Beach for work.
I’m always super early also. Can’t stand the stress of running late. And I love people watching, shopping and having some kind of drink.
Love love love every single one of your videos! Thank you Hannah! ❤❤❤
