Love British airways be flying them for many years
I for one loved the 767. It's the one reason I preferred to fly BA from the USA to Greece. The flight BA 632/631 were on the 767, so I got the luxury of wide bodied flights throughout my trip. That and with a seat within rows 1-25, got a leather seat with more room and a footrest as well!
My husband and I fly on BA for the first time in June and I cannot wait it looks so comfy relaxing and the staff seem so lovely xx
How was it?
You’ll learn
that they will...when you fly first class, you shouldn't have to look for crew to get a coffee. Yet I did. That's why I fly Emirates
Congratulations on returning from BA Julie Levy. This was fantastic 😍.
Thank you for the uploads!
Brilliant, brilliant and brilliant
Thanks for sharing 👍
I love BA! I enjoy departing from Houston to London to the world!
Well done TJB, what a great representation of engineering at BAMC.
Thanks buddy
Thank you for this RUclips. Amazing presentation.
I am in awe of the maintenance guys. Regarding customer reviews of the in-flight service..BA are still consistently getting really bad reviews.
Thanks for this
No problem hope you enjoyed it! Tell your friends
@@craigchambers9361 I have told it to all the ppl in my year who love Ba and planes
That is a sick 247
18:58 "All boil at exactly the same temperature..."🤣🤣🤣
GREAT !
BA Sold their soul to the cost cutting Spanish. No way back now.
Nice! Greeting from Helsinki!
Hello from Manchester

Hello from Manchester 😎

Taking out 3-3-3- and cramming in 3-4-3...
L1011 and 767 are the airplanes I cut my teeth on! I could tell you everything about the L1011…..and the 767 humming engines!❤️
@Samuel Wright yep. L1011 only offered with RB211 and that’s why it lost out to the DC-10 as RR went broke during the development and unlike the DC-10, which had not tied itself to a single engine supplier (DC-10 P&W or GE) which delayed its release so some US carriers for whom it was built, opted fir the DC-10 instead but the L1011 was by FAR the better aeroplane.
Re the 767, yes, BA 767-336ERs had RB211, I know because Qantas bought 7 of them to supplement its 29 767-338ERs (GE) and 767-238ERs (P&W).
@Samuel Wright yep, forgot about the 757s
@Samuel Wright what are you talking about. My comment was “Yep” not “you”. I was saying “I” forgot not you lol
Go on then
I remember flying on them, especially the all the lights !
I’d much rather the under carriage be working 19:14 than have a cup of bloody tea 🙄
Technically what he said is a lie because the undercarriage is classes as primary structure (aka critical to flight) where as a kettle not working can be deferred under a special measure for 30 days.
It’s not intended to be taken literally, it’s quite obviously not true.
It’s clearly a joke about the british and their love of tea 🙄
9:45 We don't believe in showers onboard". Yes. This senior BA official is referring to First Class. Incredible!
So in other words because our first cabin is shit were going to put all responsibilities of it being a good experience on cabin crew
The last time I flew on a 767 from London to Washington it felt like being in an old bus going up a hill. And being that it was a United 767 the flight attendants all seemed to be senior citizens.
I flew it also and loved it and was treated wonderfully from the attendants
Memories i was a steward for them back in 1958 when it was B.O.A.C. and they had high standards then.
My dad worked for ba, me air Canada Canadian & Delta good days. Now everything is contracted out now days.
I have flown with Air Canada and they are garbage - horrible bunch of people......... In fact, commenting on this rubbish airline is not worth it; it's just sad that tax payers are forced to support these slugs.
Deffo British airways when the bru kit is more important than the undercarriage
Curious as to why at 27:42 they're showing the top of a 747?
Probably footage they already had.
BA making their aircraft better: changing the 3-3-3 economy layout to 3-4-3. People are getting bigger and seats are getting smaller...
27:40 that’s a 747 not a 777
agreed
Hi - where is it described as a 777?
is this series recent or a repeat from several years ago ? ( PS I haven't watched it yet)
Hi - about 3 years old
Was the on board training bits filmed at the old BA Training Center? The one that was shuttered because of all the asbestos?
Nope at the new training facility at Heathrow
Cranebank? There's loads of videos of that in the derelict state. It also features in ruclips.net/video/5-tvIDCOnq4/видео.html
Claire needed to get the heck out of the way of the cabin staff instead of trying to take phone photos.
Are the remaining episodes in this series available, Craig?
Most people want the smart, stylish Julien MacDonald uniform back. They HATE the horrible, drab, dull new one, and I don't blame them
…A young Michael Cain technician on the tea machines…
How old is this video? 3 or 4 years? It’s interesting, however, it’s all rather disconnected from the situation in 2021.
2019 when the airline celebrated it's 100th anniversary.
@@devon896 correct
3 years ago pre pandemic
upload your own BA documentary filmed in October 2021 or keep quiet
😂😂😂
The days when Lord King and Sir Colin Marshall were Chairman + CEO respectively , BA was in a league on it's own, there were no cut backs of items on board , which ihas become the norm .Lord King + Sir Colin were not accountants ,unlike the CEOs of today whose main priority is how much the shareholders dividend share is. Blinded by Greed.
Lord King + Marshall believed that you look after your employees , happy employees ,then the passengers were happy , and they returned.
This was in the mid 1980s when BA was privatised until the mid 1990s. The airline consistently made healthy profits .
The rats began jumping from the sinking "plane " mid 2000s until now a days.
The New First Class , cu 'mon ! It takes more than full size crockery, tea cups and frikking after noon tea. How about a complete overhaul , through out.
Hear hear! Well said!
The airline is significantly more profitable now and doesn’t work to the beat of the union drum anymore…or not as much. Nobody likes change but the ‘good old days’ were, in reality, anything but. I’d rather fly on a modern a380 than a noisy, dirty 747-200, even when they were new.
13:52 those LED lights look nasty and blue to me.
Chris Evans his getting very famous isn't he LOL
this is why i always fly with easyjet cheaper than 19k a ticket
Travelling first class you get to meet the whole scale of people.
From the most arrogant a..holes in the world to genuine nice people. The trick is to have that same face and treat those who are arrogant in the badest way without losing your job or disrespect your employee wich in this series are BA. My motto is to be nice to everyone when i fly and by doing that i get privileges that you normalyy dont get
Absolutely nice way of putting it.
I always travelled by BA it use to be a very releable company, it is not anymore that's finished. I flew from London to Delhi in economic class the plane was old and the food uneatable, I even rejet it. Yes, for me BA was respecful and nice. It's all over
BA Dream liner economy seats torture. Narrow and high sides. Never again
every british thing is always the best the english people are classy people. they do things good and better than others.
Are u classy?
The exception to the rule being BA
Hopefully BA got rid of that misguided 2-4-2 reverse business layout.
They did. The new layout is amazing. Check out Ep2
@@craigchambers9361 Thank you for your comment. I did see episode 2 and that crazy, misguided 2-4-2 is still there (36:01).
@@goutvols103 Sorry I meant Episode 4! Uploading tonight
@@craigchambers9361 Thank you for your comment. Yes, the new A350s are a great addition to the BA fleet, with a much better business class layout. Unfortunately, the reverse seating is still present on the B777-2/3 and B787-8/9.
Why can’t go to gambia
Ask your gov
I flew on BA while going to scotland in october. Jesus it was like flying in a bus. Old ass planes. Never again
They’re actually fairly new.
Probably one of the ex-BMI ones which are starting to be phased out for NEOs
🌏🇬🇧✈🌎
I wonder what they find when stripping a plane. Money? Jewelery?
All of the above and sometimes bugs 🐛
Does anybody knows what is the difference between the maintanance hanger at Heathrow and Cardif?
so they fitted the same 8-seat abreast business class back in their 777s in 2019? IMO its probs the worst business class ever, but costs roughly the same as any other business class seats, including their own ones on the A350s, which is much better. It sucks that for business travellers in London that both BA and Virgin has terrible business classes on most of their fleets, though both of their A350s are much better, I wish those products are on more aircrafts.
I'm guessing you fly on a frequent basis, courtesy of the company you work for and it's simply part of your job specifications!
Otherwise, I don't know why you are concerning yourself with the particular mentioned factors.
Not a fan of British Airways. Checked in a flight that had new club world seats online. AND IT WAS THE OLD CLUB WORD SEATS when got on the plane. What happen.. Wtf
Maybe a technical fault. Maybe you’d have preferred to fly with that.
0:49 what
improving smiles is not gonna beat first class of Singapore, Emirates, Qatar or Etihad 😂
Well I will never know that.
One alon key umm
to call that a "new business class" in 2019 is a sham and a shame
It is new. What are you on?
To call yourself stupid is a good thing too
Another narrator who injects drama where its not necessary, just tell the story !
Meanwhile in Steerage class your left to suffer food that you wouldn’t feed your dog 🤣🤣🤣
The female cabin crew member at 30.50 has beautiful hair but she's not wearing a hat.My sister worked on long haul for many years and any black females working with BA were required to either cut or straighten their hair so that a hat could be worn.Has this changed?
It never happened. That’s BS.
oh goodness memories of sitting next to a fatter person whose body slid under the divde and squished me, still makes me shudder
What a beaty the business development manager is
"Just as important to have your cup of tea as it is for the undercarriage to come down" eh ??? LOL. Talk about hyping up your own importance
Yuk!! Food in first class looks gross, I wouldn't pay $5k for a seat and eat foo foo food. A bit of snobbery going on here. Give me a hamburger and fries, please.
The BA First Class Bistro menu has a ground beef burger with British Chips (fries), so you might be satisfied with that option.
The BA first class service, looks so boring! Much rather fly with Emirates or Etihad airlines, as you get more for you’re money!
Although flying London to New York with Emirates will take around 18 hours. Is that what you mean by getting more?
@@kickedinthecalfbyacow7549 No, I mean the Emirates First Class looks better thought out for a customers perspective, large flat screen TV, seat/ bed etc. This year BA weren't even in the top 10 for worlds best airline, as other airlines have really stepped up their game to get customers back fly once again.
Yes, because people who fly in first are worried about the money.
robot can imitate voices of parrots to narrate nasty stories
ANA First Class in far superior to BA's lame First Class product. It's a laughable comparison.
I laugh at your comparison
Yes, you’d know wouldn’t you.
Pls compare to yourself
No wonder air fares are expensive....I'd rather sit on crappy seats, eat a cheap sandwich and drink water and save $$ on the ticket. Oh yeah, and working toilets....
No wonder you are crappy tourists
That's why you should have monies
I can't afford a simple passport, so, flying out of questio
British Scareways .... The world's worst airline!
Yet one of the safest.
You are the most scariest person in the world
@@fairuzazli6468 I dont recollect asking you what you think of me 🤔
Definitely NOT the scariest. Sure you don’t work for a competitor airline lol!?
So why is it still shit !!???
It's like one extremely long and boring BA advert
I disagree.
Favourite airlines? Lol
