Have you flown with British Airways? What was your experience? Tell me below 👇
Can't wait for your New York vid, I'm a city girl and I loved New York, stayed at a hotel opposite Madison Square gardens 😊
Terrible. Took 1hr 16mins to check into the plane. On another flight (coming back), the plane was delayed 3 hours (inside the plane) then diverted to another airport entirely halfway through because they “forgot to call customs to stay open.” Also the WiFi never worked…
Yes, few times to Australia. No complaints 👌
Loved it. Can only compare with Iberia and Latam for a long flight, but BA is miles better, I reckon. T5 is superb to fly out from
Short haul LHR>ISTANBUL, no reclining seats, no in flight entertainment, very poor leg room, only small bottle of water and nutri grain bar provided complimentary. In my opinion that is quite poor compared to similarly priced competitors.
The eastbound flight is always quicker due to the 'jetstream' which is basically a channel of air (and also effects our weather) that pushes the plane thus making it fly faster.
I thought that lol
Indeed, prevailing winds towards the UK.
I thought it was because coming back the journey was downhill...
Yep
@@richd8907lol 🤣 🇬🇧
Even in 2023 I find there to be something very glamorous about flying from London to New York, great stuff.
definitely
Yes until you land in JFK, the 'glamour' falls rapidly off a cliff at that point ...
@@ahoang9069 I remember getting into JFK from AKL on Air New Zealand (long flight!!) and there were two other flights one Korean Air and the other Lufthansa that arrived at the same time which packed the immigration hall, took us 50 minutes to finally see an officer, but thankfully was quickly out on the street with my bags afterwards.
A few other people were continuing on to London or to mainland Europe so had to clear immigration and customs only to have to recheck their bags for their onwards trip with sterile transit obviously not being a thing in the U.S.
I flew from London to Belfast, and it was my first time on board one of their planes. It was a nice and comfortable flight. The cabin was clean and the crew handed out pretzels and water. I have nothing to complain about when it comes to British Airways.
For someone that has never flown I appreciate these videos, thank you.
We went with British airways in 2017 first class to new York for our honeymoon they could not do enough for us and me being disabled it meant a lot to me fully enjoyed it 😊
Tim, always look out for your videos. Always authentic and not trying to be someone you're not. Very refreshing!
Thanks for this Tim! Going to New York for my husbands 40th in June so even more excited than I usually am for your videos! First time I convinced my husband to watch one of your videos with me given we are going to NYC and he was impressed!
Thank You Tim another great Vlog. You always give a whole picture of your journeys including transportation giving a wonderful insight of your experiences which gives anyone considering a similar journey an insight of what to expect. Well Done Tim
Glad you enjoyed it Clive thank you
The exact journey my fiancé & I are taking in January… same airline, airport, so this really helped! Thanks Tim!
Enjoy your insight on your trips. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the thorough step by step walkthrough of checking in and dropping the bag off. Very helpful.
The jet stream which sits at high altitudes and flows from west to east makes you have an incredible tailwind on your return leg, much quicker
It’s also the exact reason the main prevailing uk wind is from the westerly direction, it’s the lower part of the jet stream creating a drag effect across the surface
Thanks, your reviews are very useful and entertaining. Keep up the good work 😊
You can get BA first seats for £2k or less return to the states on occasion, you have to look for the sale fares! Also it’s worth joining the executive club as it’s extremely easy to gain status and air miles which allows you to fly in higher cabins for not much money at all + loads of perks.
Just recently stated watching your videos Tim. Love how you just stick to exactly what you are doing on your Travels and keep your dialogue on point. Had to laugh when you said about Ryanair and no Air freshener in their Plane toilets. Very true.
My most recent flight with BA was on the A380 to San Francisco in August. On that flight they served 2 meals & the food was good. The entertainment system you had on the that 777 is the same as the A380 & it’s a bit dated now. Some 777s have been updated & the 787 & A350 would have the new entertainment kit. When we landed in San Francisco it took well over an hour to get through security. My last trip to New York was in Dec 2015. It was great to see the Rockefeller Christmas Tree. My tip for that is to go at 6am in the morning as you have the Rockefeller Plaza to yourself with the all the Christmas lights lit.
Hi Tim fab vlog looking forward to seeing the vlogs . Thanks for sharing with us. Love to you as always Tracey ❤Xxxx
Have a great flight ✈️ & thanks Tim 🌆🤗
I'm a Brit from Newcastle but now live in Thailand. I've flown BA a lot. Good flight times, leave BKK late morning, arrive LHR with just a 2.5 hour wait for the flight up to NCL arriving 10.00pm. Total time from leaving BKK 16.5 hours. One thing you don't mention is the class between economy and business, it's about £130 more, well worth it, not only bigger seats with lots more leg room but you can use the business class lounge in LHR while waiting for the onward flight and your baggage is checked right through.
Love your videos Tim, you really are the best at what you do on YT in my opinion, making us feel like we are right there with you along for the ride.
Always been interested in travelling to New York especially around Xmas time, looking forward to seeing your hotel choices etc
This guy and his family start in to become big thing. On RUclips well done ❤
Another lovely travel video. Thanks for sharing this with us. Safe travel to Lapland.
That entrance with the Union Jack is very cool, and I’m glad you finally found use for those pesky Daleks. Great video as always. 🙂
Great video Tim, looking forward to the sights and sounds. Of America. Stay safe. 😘💚
Absolutely loving your videos Tim! 🥳🥳
Woah! That was a quick upload! Haven’t watched it fully yet but excited now! Great intro!
Glad you enjoyed!
Hi Tim love these travel videos feels like I'm hitchin' a ride along going on holiday myself. Have never flown from Heathrow but might go there just to tease the robot cleaner! Waited in vain for the suitcase to start twirling again at bag drop! £70 to guarantee window seat is something I would defo do for peace of mind.
Standard class looked good but Business class looked amazing. Interesting you included the creepy pre-flight 'thankyou' video that was odd.
Always fun trying to negotiate the public transport after landing - especially subways & trams ! Very thorough video well done!
Thank you for the brilliant video Tim ❤
Hi Tim such a good video 🙌 would love to see more of these types of vids in the future 🙂
Great to see you & Gaby again in Hemsby yesterday will be watching these for sure.👍
Hi Tim
Another fantastic vlog to look forward to🎉🎉
Love the editing of New JFK as the plane was landing, that was very cool Tim :)
Going to New york on thursday in BA from Heathrow . Your video seems quite helpful :)
Flown BA to LAX (prem econ there and business back). It was absolutely great once on the flight. The only issue really was BAs online check in/web service which just seems to be beyond broken. I think even the check in kiosks in the checkin area didn’t work properly either. Thankfully a BA rep saw my struggle and just took me to the empty business check in to sort it out. Which was nice. It’s a complete mystery how they actually manage to function with an IT system as decrepit as that one. But other than that, T5 is great and the 777-300ER I went on had been freshly updated and it was just really good.
Thanks for this, Heathrow is on my bucket list and one day I'll use it.
Looking forward to seeing your New York series. Always wanted to visit!
I love this channel, I always wonder where you’re going to go next!
Love your videos Tim, only started watching by a suggestion because i love stuff about planes but your videos are lovely thanks dude
Very nice video to watch..humble person u r....keep it going mate...good info as always 🤝🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
New York! Fantastic. 🍎 . I dont know how he doesnt get knackered. I get knackered planning and executing a week in North Yorkshire.
Great video as usual Tim.
Can't wait for you to explore some lovely places in Austria-Vienna 1 day.
Take care
I went through Heathrow Terminal 5 to New York earlier this year and unfortunately it was not this experience. It was incredibly busy and queueing for security took absolutely ages, with what felt like one queue for the entire terminal. I think if you go in out of peak times it's much better though. The flight itself was very good though despite being seated right at the back of the aircraft, we had an empty seat next to us which was nice.
Booked an Easter holiday with my daughter for next year, travelling with BA, premium economy, looking forward to the extra leg room😊
Thanks for your video, really nice!
Great video, I'm a big fan of travel day video clips.
Love your channel - you have opened the travel bug in myself
I do love a flight video 😊 and I'm looking forward to your NYC videos too 👍😀
Thank you for the airport nostalgia!
Excellent video, Tim. You are very good at these flight blogs! Keep them coming. (As well as everything else!). Well done. Did you use your car to get to Heathrow and then use one of the car parks which is what I normally do? I am off to NYC in April 24 on BA premium. I am staying there for 3 nights and then returning on a 14 day repositioning Norwegian cruise to Southampton ..... and Amsterdam and Dublin are some of the stops. I have been to NYC several times ..looking forward to your NYC blogs.
Oh my fave city in the world.. fab video can't wait for more 😊
Great video Tim 😊 Thank you 👍👍👍👍
I flew British Airways to Baltimore back in October. I thought they were really good! I had a great holiday
Nice one Tim look forward to the New York vlogs 🙂🧳🎥✌️
Great video Tim as usual
It was a very good travel day blog today of you chilling out and relaxing waiting to boarding your plane flying from London Heathrow to jfk international Airport with British airways tim
Terminal 5 is honestly a fantastic airport, ive used the shuttle from Manchester a few times. its just a shame ive arrived a couple of times at my destination without my luggage 🤣
Looking forward to seeing the vlogs of New York Tim. Its somewhere I've always wanted to visit.
Tim, I’ve been watching your video reviews intermittently. I watched your account of the journey to Dubai with Emirates and the 7 star Burj Arabia (I think it was called). Your work is addictive! You’re addressing your phone camera pretty consistently so the staff on planes and in hotels must be aware that you’re doing a review. I like the pacy editing of your narrative. You’re performing an excellent task for all travellers in your wake. Premium prices should be subjected to rigorous testing. Thank you. 🙏🏽
your videos always gets me ideas Tim looking at Paris next year possibly 😊
Thank you Tim for a great video 🙂
Nice. I’ve flown BA long haul a few times in my life, but less so in recent years and now I live back in York. But this has whetted my appetite for my forthcoming economy flight on BA from LHR T5 to Boston this coming January.
As someone who went last year, you had a near replica of my experience. Looking forward to the rest of the videos, although I will be watching with jealousy!
Love T5. It's super easy to get around. And it's immense 😊
always hoped you'd end up doing some New York content! Great to see!
Great I'm going to New York next year looking forward to your tips
Hello Tim,can't wait to see more of NewYork,I would like to go there one day and take in the views and street life.
Great blog of your flight Tim👍😊
Great travel vlog. I avoid BA whenever I travel to the USA not a pleasant experience and that includes the staff. New York is one of my favourites so look forward to your other vlogs!
WH Smith, airports and hospitals. R2D2 has took up janitorial job in Terminal 5. Last flew BA to New York 19 years ago on 747. Had automated check in at JFK all those years ago. Super vlog 👍
Brilliant editing. Almost felt like I was on that flight going to the USA! Looking forward to seeing the New York vlogs coming up Tim x J x
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your going to love nyc! My wife’s favourite city…hope you took the train from jfk into the city 😊
Hey Tim, we travelled to New York on the same day! My flight was from Gatwick though but guess we would have been in the air at the same time, hope you enjoyed your time there as much as me 👍
I flew with Air France and KLM to New York in March and they were fantastic - The food, drinks and overall flight.
Look forward to your New York videos. Love that city.
Have fun in New York Tim❤
I flew with BA to Mauritius in September and it was the most uncomfortable flight I’ve been on (14 hours, bearing in mind I’ve done non-stop to Perth before). It was the worst food I’ve had on a BA flight ever and the entertainment system was odd. It was like season 3 of a show, so how do you get into a series if you can’t see it from the beginning. I have damaged my coccyx earlier this year so I’m sure my lack of comfort was down to that than the old feeling plane I was on. I really don’t think I can fly until my back is healed so thank you for letting us travel with you! 😊
Hi Tim, I did this trip last month for my. birthday. Went there and back same day. Only bad experience was the.long waiting time for immigration/custom, 1 and a half hours. Can’t wait to see which places you visit.
Very interesting thanks for sharing ❤️👍🏻
Cant wait to see the rest of the vidoes tim new york is my all time favorite place currently saving up to spend Christmas 2025 there ❤
Enjoyed that tim
Interesting Vid ,it's been a very long time since I was last at Heathrow .I loved the little cleaning robot ,very futuristic and check in looked very easy .It seemed like quite a trek from there to the plane though .I would have been tempted by the biccies at Fortnums ,in lieu of a first class seat ,lol.
What a great video, You do the best travel videos on RUclips, I know because I never skip any parts unlike other channels I watch.
Wow, thanks!
"I did get it quite cheap" QUITE? haha that's an absolute bargain especially BA as well 🤣 I had to rewind to check I heard it correctly. So jealous!
Great video as always i like the travel ones with the airport and flight better than the place you go to sometimes. This one would have been nicer longer too short for me but thanks
Love that tea 😊 I never flew with BA to new York to be honest never being there either , I did stop in jfk going to fort Launderdale. Thanks for sharing hope u have great time there
I flew with British Airways to New York a fews back and it was a great experience & first time there so you should have a good flight too Tim 👍
Hi Tim I just got back from New York early this morning with British Airways from Gatwick, they have wifi which is the best bonus and I was there with my boyfriend from Friday to yesterday and from early this morning landed back in the uk. On the way back it took 5 hours and 58 mins
Have had 4 flights with BA recently and they certainly seem to be improving one flight was on the mighty A380 absolutely amazing and more recently short haul in business class on a a320, business lounge experience at Heathrow was excellent although it's looking a little tired but certainly a much more relaxing experience than waiting in the huge departure areas, in board service was excellent as was the food, I've flown with BA many times to the USA and never had any issues, personally I think they are far be than any American airlines.
Lots of people knock BA but I've been lucky and not experienced massive flight delays or cancellations, some of the BA are getting old and need to be replaced.
Hope you have a great time in New York
Love your videos have fun 🎉
Looked lovely flight
There are so many flight reviewer on You tube that make it sound like unless you spend thousands it’s not worth flying. Good to see you made it to NY in one piece flying with the masses!
You should definitely try Aer Lingus for cross-Atlantic travel next time.
Same owner as British Airways but with newer planes and can be cheaper if not the same price. (Plus the checked luggage fare lets you pick your seat)
I did the Aer Lingus flight with a Dublin stopover for Dublin Preclearence - It wasn't much if any faster but saves you so much stress when you land.
It’s actually cool to have pre clearance customs and immigration so you don’t have to worry about it landing in the States, Toronto Pearson, Montreal, Vancouver and most Canadian airports have US CBP Preclearence facilities.
Little surprised they don’t have them for any UK airport since the UK/US Transatlantic flight path is one of the busiest in the world!!
Hi Tim, love your channel. I’m living in the Hudson Valley area just north of NYC. I’m curious if you’ve heard about Atlantic City, New Jersey. We used to go there often, & I think it’s something to check those hotels out there.
Flew them once when our connecting flight was canceled, so we were seated separately all middle seats 😫. I don’t remember it being a very good flight, it was just a no frills flight. Arriving in the US and the whole long wait at the customs/immigration line - reason why I’m not planning to travel there anytime soon!
This year I’ve Flown to LA, Copenhagen, New York,Miami, and Texas At the end of November. All with BA In premium and It’s been great. The lounges are decent too😮
Impressive videography. You deserve to have a lot of RUclips play button 😄
Fastest way into the city, is the “AirTran”-take to the Jamaica station (transfer to either the Long Island Rail Road to Penn Station, or Atlantic Terminal-if going to Brooklyn; or transfer to the “E” train to Manhattan); or the Howard Beach station (transfer to the “A” train, heading to Manhattan)
Great video but I am very surprised that you didn’t plan how you would get from the airport- the best way we did was air train to Jamaica then LIRR to Penn Station then subway. Our first time we did do Yellow cab but that is really expensive and you can get stuck in traffic
I have flown BA for the past 30 years. Yes the product has been though some changes over the years. The new 1st and club WT products are really nice. Not been in the economy cabin for a few yrs now.
Hi Tim. Great video as always. Can I ask where you got that grey jumper from please? Keep up the good work!
I'm betting its hollister
Been searching for a video recent for British airways to New York for agesss I go next week so thanks :)
Glad I could help!
